Pizza from France: Tarte flambé
So delicious. You're forgiven in advance if you eat too much. Like I did. Sweet, creamy onions. Super smoky bacon. On a very, very thin and crisp pizza crust. Best $2 pizza you'll eat this year.
On The Ball: Spinal Twist
Stretch and strengthen your core, back and leg muscles while you stand and twist. Strengthen your shoulder and chest muscles by squeezing this really big $12 exercise ball between your hands. You use many, many muscles. Very time-efficient. And burns calories faster.
Slower Sunday: So many details
Little masterpieces popping up everywhere now. I planted this iris years ago. Here it is again. So many fine details in a few cubic inches. Get out there. Pay close attention to the very small things. Beautiful Way to start your day. Just Press Play.
Slower Sangria
Slower to lose its cool. Slower to lose its fruit flavor. Slower to intoxicate you on a hot day. It's all in the ice cubes. Or ice balls. Fresh frozen fruit juice and zest.
The Walk That Drank Napa
If you're in Italy this Sunday, you get to celebrate Cantina Aperta. Translation: the wineries are open, come party. Sadly, nothing like that here in the States. So I made up a day-long Walking & Drinking Extravaganza in Napa, CA.
Melon-Ginger-Mint Popsicles
Get a really ripe melon. So sweet you won't even think about adding sugar. Not even to offset the kick of the ginger and the cool of the mint. A truly sweet and wonderfully refreshing Way to end a meal-on-a-stick on a hot day.
Gazpacho Popsicles: Meal on a stick
This savory popsicle may not qualify as a complete meal, but it's a thoroughly tasty, refreshing vegetable course. A convenient, hand-held soup and salad on a stick. Great for parties. Easy for everybody, like a hot dog. But with a sense of humor. And great ingredients.
A vegan walks into a barbecue. Again.
Thinking about firing up the grill for some burgers but can't remember who eats what? Here's the answer: an unconstructed grilled fish or steak salad that's a real mouthful for an omnivore. And the best salad a vegan ever had.
On the Ball: Leg Extensions
Another bouncy exercise. But not too bouncy. The Ball is unstable. It rolls. Unless you exert force to keep it in place. Which means you engage many large and small muscles. Very time-efficient. And it burns more calories.
Slower Sunday: Color Theory
My theory: it's good for you. This has to be great exercise for your eyes. Every possible shade of pink and magenta and orange. Red. Yellow. A whole hillside of azaleas at the New York Botanical Garden. Full bloom right now. Take a minute to visit. Just Press Play.
