Walk to an iceberg. Iceberg Lake.
No penguins, but otherwise it's a perfect hike. A little under five miles each way. Beautiful every step of the way. Miles of wildflowers. And this luminous glacial lake. The one with the glowing white icebergs.
Pizza Popsicles: Pie on a Stick

Ridge with a View: of Athabasca Glacier
I get the shivers just thinking about the view. Which really beats getting the sweats right now. The viewpoint is the razor sharp ridge line of Mt. Wilcox. The view is the massive Columbia Icefield and the Athabasca Glacier.
Salade Lyonnaise for Bastille Day
Let's celebrate our early Summer greens with a really rich and unusually tasty salad. Sweet and warm bacon & eggs vinaigrette for crisp and slightly bitter salad greens. A salad that qualifies for "party in your mouth" status.
Garden Watch: Practice Makes Perfect
A perfect ear of corn. From a rooftop garden in the middle of New York City. I'm amazed. I tried Corn Sex In The City last year. My first time. Turns out, corn needs a helping hand. It's a pollination thing.
On The Ball: Front Raises
Strengthen your shoulder, arm and chest muscles by squeezing this really big exercise ball between your hands. And raising it above your head. Use your core, back and leg muscles, to balance while you're top-heavy. Strengthen many muscles at once. Very time-efficient.
