Slower Sunday: Shhhhhh
May 24, 2015. Let's take a little vacation together. Just for a minute. In one of those places where you just want to watch. Just wanna listen. Press Play. And have a lovely Memorial Day.
Slower Sunday: Without a net
May 17, 2015. Let your feet follow your eyes. Always look where you want to go. Never look where you don't want to go. Press Play and look.
Orange-Lime Olive Oil Cake
Slightly sweet. Kinda tart. Very little sugar. Great for breakfast. Great for dessert. Lime makes it vibrant. Distinct orange flavor sweetens it. Olive oil keeps it moist and light. Ten minutes to prepare. You really want to try this.
Dog Mountain: To Hike or To Bike?
The hike's free. An entire mountain. Yours for the taking. Walks like this are habit-forming. Making exercise a habit gives you the long-term benefit of great health. Have a blast, burn 2,000 calories along the Way and eat great stuff back in town.
Poached Halibut on Crispy Polenta Leftover of the Week
$7 per person for an incredibly easy and completely satisfying meal. Not light, but not at all heavy. Just fresh fish poached in heirloom bean soup served on whole-grain polenta. A complete protein bomb. You want more of this in your diet.
Slower Sunday: Magnolias and Mothers
Where I live, magnolias only bloom for a week or two, right before Mother's Day. So if you don't have one right in your yard, you really have to go wherever they are. Or you can press play. She can, too.
Thinking About Mother’s Day
A Better Slower Mother's Day. Economical, too. Cheaper just doesn't sound right. You have five days to get this together. Be thoughtful. Something to do? Something to eat? Something to use? Something to plant? Some thoughts.
Help! I’m climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro
29 miles and way up. 19,341' up. Not much oxygen up there. So I’m training. I’m not doing this just for my health. Click to find out what's making me do it as I approach my 66th birthday.
Comfortably Spicy for Cinco de Mayo
A flavor bomb that'll make you smile. A totally delicious meal-in-a-sandwich to celebrate Mexico's Cinco de Mayo and the all-American comfort food, the grilled cheese sandwich. For $1.50. You really should make this.
Mint Julep Soda
I'm not a betting man, but if I were I'd bet you'll like this. Even if you're not having a Kentucky Derby party. Deeply flavorful, thoroughly refreshing and, yes, kinda sweet soda with a fraction of the sugar calories you'd get in a can of Coke.
