Slower Sunday: Right between the legs
You wouldn't necessarily feel completely comfortable walking through here. But how could you not?
Strawberry-Rhubarb Tart. The best.
70 cents per slice. For a light, intensely flavorful but not too sweet dessert. Pretty terrific for breakfast, too. It's what May and June should taste like. Amazing how easily you can make this Better and Cheaper than you can buy it.
Easy Does It. The Walk to Ousel Falls.
The kindest, gentlest hike to a spectacularly scenic destination in Montana. In Big Sky, this is a wonderfully scenic walk on a wide, smooth path. Gentle switchbacks lead you to this beautiful waterfall on the Gallatin River. Less than an hour and two miles roundtrip. Breathe easy.
Skinny dipping in the Mediterranean diet
Two steps: dip bread into olive oil to moisten it, then dip that into this dry mixture of crushed walnuts, chopped sun-dried tomatoes and fresh herbs. An addictively delicious dip with nutritional content that sounds like an intensive health food intervention.
Mushroom Lettuce Wraps
Simple. Just chopping, marinating and rolling. You'll be amazed how much flavor and texture pleasure you get from a tablespoon of this mushroom filling and a big, fresh leaf of lettuce. A refreshing, near-zero calorie lunch or a light starter before dinner.
Thai Rice Pudding. For dinner.
Rich and luxurious in your mouth. Totally creamy, but without cream. Intensely and exotically fragrant with coconut, curry, lime and ginger. A little crunch and saltiness from the peanuts. Soft, sticky rice.
Moving Monday: A Quick Dip
Time for a 1-minute exercise you can do at home or at work. One example of something you should do once every hour or two. C'mon. Flex those shoulder and triceps muscles. This one 'll have you on the edge of your chair. Press Play to see the Way.
Slower Sunday: Waiting for Wisteria
I've been waiting years for this. But you can just Press Play. Right now. Instant beauty. Watch slowly. Happy Sunday.
All glad. No SAD. Get out more. Outdoors
What a deal. Sunlight's free and you don't even have to strap a solar panel to your back to use it. Just take off your shirt. Or your pants. Because your skin synthesizes Vitamin D when it's exposed to sunlight and - get this - you're probably Vitamin D-deficient.
Beehive Basin: Stripes and flowers
Huge, rugged, striped mountains. Endless fields of wildflowers. The Spanish Peaks and Beehive Basin. Just outside Big Sky, Montana. Seven spectacular miles out and back. One of the best-looking, free half-day hikes you can find.
