A BLT posing as a pizza. A huge mound of exceptionally fresh flash-baked greens on a hot, fresh pizza crust. Delicious. Another example of pizza crust as the perfect platform for almost everything fresh and tasty. Dinner for 2 for $2.

Really. No eggplant. No chicken. No veal. Stay with me here. This turns out to be a fantastic summer meal. The light, luscious, aromatic vegetarian dish of the month. Totally satisfying warm or cool.

My tomato plants are determined to teach me a lesson. Better, Cheaper, Slower.

Every great hike has its great moment. When you leave the street grid of Telluride, Colorado, USA and head up the Sneffels Highline Trail, you're on your way to a breathtaking moment. This is one of the benchmark hikes I do every few years. To see if I still can.

You could watch this for a while. It's a little like bird-watching, only better. You don't need binoculars. You don't feel like a stalker. If you don't have one of your own, now's the time to take a walk and find one. Or Press Play. Borrow mine.

Pineapple-Basil Soda Pop. Much smarter.

There's something about fresh pineapple that a blender turns into a creamy, frothy puree. A puree that bubbles into a big, foamy head when you squirt carbonated water into your glass. A big head on a very smart soft drink. Much smarter than a cola that makes you stupid.
