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.
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.
Good and Stuffed: Chiles Rellenos
When my CSA farm share came with a bunch of truly beautiful looking poblano peppers, I knew what the leftover polenta, squash and salsa verde in the fridge were meant for. Wildly flavorful, low calorie stuffed peppers with big doses of Vitamin C.
Cabbage al Pastor: Delicious, aromatic. Not authentic.
A big 8-ounce serving of this sweet, tart, earthy, slightly crunchy, barely spicy vegan side dish with half your daily Vitamin C and all your Vitamin K. Highly aromatic. 25 cents. This could become a Fall-Winter habit.
Your Monday #41: No-Rope Jump-Rope
A 3-minute exercise to strengthen the muscles you use to balance yourself and stay on your feet - while you strengthen all your leg muscles. Pretty great for just three minutes.
Slower Sunday: Open house
1-floor walk-up, fixer-upper. 4 rooms. Floor to ceiling windows. Good closet space. Canyon views. Walk to work. Whaddya think? Press Play to view.
An Almost Classic Apple Tarte Tatin
Beautiful, luscious, light. Sweet, but not too. Deep, dark and bright all at once. Way to be. Exercise a little self control and you'll have leftovers for a killer breakfast.
Stairway to Rainbows
Quite a stairway. 328 stairs. Quite a rainbow. If the sun's shining, it'll be there for you. Right at the base of the Lower Falls of the Yellowstone River. Amazing you can get to a place like this on your own two feet. The only way you can get there.
