The Walk That Ate Quebec City

January 6, 2012
Dick Sandhaus

If it's not cold enough where you live, give Quebec City a try. Right now or next month during Winter Carnival. 4 hours and 10 miles to burn more than 1,000 calories. More than you'll consume in a half-day tour of the monuments, bistros and bakeries.

Cauliflower & Olive Pizza

This classic flavor combination on a pizza crust is a perfect example of Better being Cheaper. Not just a great $2 pizza. A great pizza, period.

Hoppin’ Gianni. New Year’s Rice & Beans

In South Carolina, USA, they eat a lot of Hoppin' John this week. Rice and black-eyed peas. Brings good luck for the New Year. In this version, American Southern cooking meets Italian cuisine. I feel lucky already.

Last call. Warm, soft chocolate cake.

The last course of the last meal of the year. Out with a bang. A warm, soft semi-sweet one. Spectacular in your mouth, with or without Champagne.

I've always thought walking is its own reward. But if you need some spectacular ends to justify the means, Press Play. There's only one Way to get here.

Waste not, want not. Save those orange peels and make this great sweet snack. Sweet and tart at the same time. Hey, serve it at midnight with Champagne. Very sophisticated. And free.

Smoky, crisp chickpea snacks

Garbanzos fritos. The best bar snack in town. They're addictive. They're cheap and easy. Refried chickpeas lightly coated with pimentón. $2 for a superior snack laced with protein, iron and Vitamins B and C. Enough for four snackers.

Beetburgers

Better Cheaper finger food. The tastiest, healthiest slider at the party. Intensely flavorful. Vividly colorful. One beet makes twenty. Twenty cents of ingredients makes one. Ten minutes of your time makes twenty of them.

Free Style. 30 minutes. 300 calories.

A half hour of aerobic exercise. In your living room. No equipment. No shoes. No gym membership. No spandex. Even Better than Cheaper. Free.n

Slower Christmas Card. All aboard.

Take a ride under the Christmas tree. Just Press Play. They'll suck you right into their own little world. Everything else goes silent. Out of sight. Out of mind. You pay attention to just one thing at a time. Merry Christmas.n
