The Walk That Skates Ottawa

January 27, 2012
Dick Sandhaus

A great day-hike. 18 miles. 6 to 8 hours with three river crossings, two canal crossings and one waterfall crossing. Burn almost 2,500 calories. More than you'll consume trying to sample all the cuisines in the Byward Market district.

Egg Foo Yung. Chinese New Year Omelet

January 26, 2012
Dick Sandhaus

A perfect meal in a pan. A great Way to use the always seasonal, local and same-day fresh eggs from the Farmers Market. A few minutes of chopping and stirring. Five minutes of tending. One suspenseful second of flipping.

Egg Drop Soup. Remember?

January 25, 2012
Dick Sandhaus

A wonderful winter soup you make in a few minutes. Rich but light. Nourishing and deeply flavorful. Less than $1 for two servings. Your Chinese New Year resolution.

Egg UnRolled: Chinese New Year Pizza

January 24, 2012

It's not authentic anything, but it tastes great. A soy-sesame cabbage slaw with ham and spicy mustard on a pizza crust. $1.50 for the whole thing. Happy New Year.

Slower Sunday: What’s that sound?

Dick Sandhaus

Take a 90-second vacation. Sounds like a faster vacation, not a Slower one. But it's a nice, slow minute and a half. A good Sunday pace. Listen with me. Just Press Play.

Hazelnut-Chocolate Pie: A Nutella Pizza

Dick Sandhaus

An outside-in dessert pizza that's an instant legend. A huge cookie to share. Light and crisp. Only as sweet as you choose to make it. Makes 8 people extremely happy for $2.

Upstream. To Hanakapi’ai Falls.

But first you have to stroll across Ke'e Beach. And then you have to hike the Kalalau Trail, hanging 200' above the brilliant blue Pacific. It's tough hiking here on the Hawaiian island of Kaua'i.

Rosemary-Garlic-Potato Pizza

January 18, 2012
Dick Sandhaus

There are dozens of regional versions of potato pizza in Italy. So it's strange that you never see it here in the U.S. Especially when potatoes are one of the few "seasonal" vegetables available. Not just a great $2 pizza. A great pizza, period.

Before you know it, it’s time to plant.

January 17, 2012

Time for your inner farmer. Time to decide what you're planting and growing this Spring. And time to make the big mid-Winter decision. Start from seed? Or wait for a jump-started little plant from the local nursery or Farmers Market?

Don’t Just Sit There: Shoulder Stretch

January 16, 2012
Dick Sandhaus

Even if you exercise vigorously for an hour every day - too much sitting significantly increases your risk of cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, obesity. So when you're in front of your TV or computer, do this - or something like it - for a minute, every hour or two.
