Sweet Potato Gratin
Delicious and beautiful. 50 cents per serving. If a gratin sounds like something you shouldn't try to do at home by yourself, the sound's deceiving. Click. Tasting is believing.
Roasted Garlic & Kale Bread Pudding
For dinner. Shockingly delicious. The roasted garlic is a big part of it. But it's the combination with the dark, herbaceous kale that really surprised me. I don't know why this isn't a national dish somewhere. $3. Serves 6.
Double-Smoked Bacon Bread. Wow.
This is profoundly great bread. Without kneading dough. Really. No kneading. Just 30 seconds of stirring.

The Walk That Ate Malibu
Backbone Trail up to Castro Peak. Back down to the Malibu beaches. Walk 15 miles. Burn 1,800 calories - Way more than you (should) eat at Coogie's and Duke's.
What we learn from chicken soup
There's a lesson here. The best homemade soup you can imagine. Best, not just Better. Seems like it's free. Cheaper than cheap. Five minutes to "make" it. Plenty of time to eat Slower tonight.
