Slower Sunday: Route: Canal
I love to walk around great old cities. Yeah, no patience for sitting. But sometimes you just have to change your point of view. To get the best view. C'mon, hop in, put up your feet and float through Amsterdam.
I Want These Cookies
Possibly the world's greatest ginger snap. If you're passing around a cookie plate after dinner, this is what you want on it. If you want to give a gift of homemade cookies, these are the ones you want to give. 3 minutes to make the dough.
Ski Hawai’i
Pretty balmy here at sea level. You wake up to tropical birds. You look through palms to the Pacific. You look up to the summit of Mauna Kea. To see that while you were sleeping ... it snowed. A lot. Surfing seems so yesterday. Skiing seems so today.
Flash-Roasted Prosciutto Chips
If you like prosciutto, you'll love prosciutto chips. Like prosciutto turned up to eleven. Super-concentrated flavor and aroma when what's in your mouth is more like air. 5 minutes to prepare. Friends and family will be amazed.
Tuscan-Fried Farmers Market
This has to be the easiest delicious thing to do with the season's bounty of root vegetables. All of them. At once. Sweet and earthy. Soft and hot inside, crisp and crunchy outside. A lot of vitamins A, B and C. Lots of dietary fiber. Low Glycemic Load. Your winter go-to dish.
Cheesy Hasselback Potatoes.
Lick your fingers.
If you're looking for something beautiful and luscious to put on the table, you just found it. Despite its intricate beauty, it's pretty simple to prepare. But messy. You'll be licking your fingers before it goes in the oven.
Dumbbell or 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.
Slower Sunday: Inhale
When the holiday hustle and bustle threatens peace on your piece of the earth, here's a soothing Way out. A warm, fragrant Way. Deck the halls, fill the air.

The Gift of Soul Food
I will never be a soul food chef, but I love to cook - and eat - anything and everything from Carla Hall's Soul Food. Carla is a force of nature and everything she shows you how to make will rock'n'soul you. Every recipe has a kick or two that makes it a party in your mouth.
