Dick Sandhaus

Make the cake, the whole thing, for $7.50 while blueberries are delicious, abundant and well-priced. Slice it 12 Ways: 62 cents per serving. 200 calories. Absolutely delicious. Rich but not heavy. Sweet but not too. Great Weekend breakfast.

Walk to an iceberg. Iceberg Lake.

No penguins, but otherwise it's a perfect hike. A little under five miles each way. Beautiful every step of the way. Miles of wildflowers. And this luminous glacial lake. The one with the glowing white icebergs.

Dick Sandhaus

These savory popsicles are delicious, they're weird, they'll make you laugh, they'll make you happy whenever they're in your mouth. A convenient, frozen-solid, hand-held pizza on a stick. Great ingredients you can't stop licking.

Frankinburgers

Dick Sandhaus

Just an experiment. Injecting new life into a hamburger. With a hot dog. Perfect for those moments when you just can't decide. Hamburger? Or hot dog? Even if you're not having trouble with the decision, this hamburger-hot dog hybrid tastes good.

Grilled Escarole with Smoky White Beans

July 19, 2011
Dick Sandhaus

Substantial but not heavy. Cook the beans with fresh sage, garlic and a little bacon. A totally rich and mellow layer of beans to put under those fresh and very slightly bitter escarole greens. Greens a little smoky from the grill.

On The Ball: Squat with Front Raise

Dick Sandhaus

Strengthen your shoulder, arm and chest muscles by squeezing this really big exercise ball between your hands. And raising it above your head. Use your core, back and leg muscles to squat. And get back up. Strengthen many muscles at once. Very time-efficient.

Slower Sunday: Why’s this water so cold?

July 17, 2011
Dick Sandhaus

We're in Hawaii. This is Hanakapi'ai Falls. I've been up on top, where the water comes from. It's hot up there, too. Eventually you get used to it. Become one with the water. Well, one temperature. Dip a toe in. Press Play.

Ridge with a View: of Athabasca Glacier

July 15, 2011
Dick Sandhaus

I get the shivers just thinking about the view. Which really beats getting the sweats right now. The viewpoint is the razor sharp ridge line of Mt. Wilcox. The view is the massive Columbia Icefield and the Athabasca Glacier.

Salade Lyonnaise for Bastille Day

July 14, 2011
Dick Sandhaus

Let's celebrate our early Summer greens with a really rich and unusually tasty salad. Sweet and warm bacon & eggs vinaigrette for crisp and slightly bitter salad greens. A salad that qualifies for "party in your mouth" status.

Garden Watch: Practice Makes Perfect

Dick Sandhaus

A perfect ear of corn. From a rooftop garden in the middle of New York City. I'm amazed. I tried Corn Sex In The City last year. My first time. Turns out, corn needs a helping hand. It's a pollination thing.
