Slower Sunday: In case you missed it
Set my alarm. Set up my camera. To save that first daylight. For you. In case you missed it. You might want to get ready for sunset. It's coming. Soon.
No flu. No needle. Roll up your sleeves.
Roll up one for a flu shot? Or both and get some exercise? Revving up your heart rate during aerobic exercise also revs up your immune response. So exercise is probably your best bet for reducing sick time throughout the Fall-Winter cold season and the rest of the year. But get that flu shot, too.
The Marathon That Ate New York
This Sunday 50,000 people will run along 26.2 miles of New York streets. I won't be one of them. Because they never stop to eat. No, if I'm going to cruise through that much of my hometown, I'm going to stop at a few of our 5,000 restaurants to restore some of the calories I'm burning. I'd do it this Way.
An App for the Great Pumpkin Pie
The pumpkin pie for everyone who'd really rather be digging into an apple pie. So many flavors in the warm, soft spiced pumpkin-apple puree. All of your taste buds are working overtime. Even before the buttery, flaky pie crust melts in your mouth.
Butternut Squash Soup, Coconut Curried
This is what I want when the weather turns cold and winter squash turns up at the Farmers Market. It's easy. It's mouth-and-soul-warming. Exotic flavors and aromas laced through a sweetly familiar, comfortable squash soup.
Sweet & Savory: Apple-Chard-Bacon Tart
So delicious it's a revelation. $5 for the whole sweet, savory, herbaceous, smoky, buttery thing. A complete meal for two. Lots of Vitamins A, C and K. I just ate half of it for dinner. Totally satisfying. I'd eat the other half for breakfast.
Your Monday #40: Flying like Superman
Let's start the week loose. Comfortable. Flexible. Because flexible muscles make everything easier and less tiring. Today's Way'll relax and stretch your back and abdominal muscles. Make them feel and function better.
Slower Sunday: Ready for their close-up
They just make you stare. I hate to be rude but I really can't stop. Can you?
Pop Corn & Beans. The Smart Munch. Pop.
$3 for a huge bowl (11 cups!) of the best, sweetest, light and crisp popcorn and crisp & creamy fried chickpeas. High in complete protein. Zero in anything bad. But, still, don't eat the whole bowl yourself.
The Walk That Ate A Halloween Pumpkin
You can walk through the town of Half Moon Bay, wander in pumpkin patches and stroll along a big stretch of beach. All in a two-hour walk. Or you can do the four-hour version, burn 1,200 calories and enter the pumpkin pie-eating contest.
