You can't help it. It smells so great you just have to get more. You're like one of those bees that just can't stay away from that pollen. You should take a walk to find some of this stuff. The deep breathing is so relaxing. Might even work without the wisteria.

Here's a quick, easy way to strengthen your abdominal and lower back muscles without doing crunches or sit-ups. Do it ten times if you can. Takes less than a minute.

Your own prepared horseradish. So much Better Cheaper and Stronger than the bottled kind you might be moved to tears. I just made my first batch. It's another revelation about the superiority of stuff you make fresh.

These ribs melt in your mouth. Rich and juicy. Never stringy. Always aromatic. And you don't have to slice them before serving. This meal-in-a-single-pan, feast-on-a-single-platter is something to celebrate.

Dick Sandhaus

Less than $2 for a truly spectacular sandwich. Crisp buttery bread. Soft, gooey cheese. Supple, not-quite-slippery macaroni. Has to be at least the second-best thing you'll put in your mouth all day.

Dick Sandhaus

$20 for a 1-week all-access pass to 700 miles of hiking trails in Glacier National Park. Through a landscape carved by two million years of glaciers. Time to think about a Better Cheaper Slower summer adventure.

Dick Sandhaus

Less than five minutes of preparation to get an exceptionally tender, flavorful and aromatic chicken. The chicken, some herbs and your stove do the rest. Then you eat. Tender, moist, delicious. Way to be.

The Walk That Ate Miami and The Beach

March 23, 2012
Dick Sandhaus

7 or 8 hours of sightseeing that burns 2,400 calories along a 17-mile Walk. Way more calories than your delightful Bayfront breakfast, your killer empanada lunch and those superior dinner ceviches and tiraditos add up to.

Farrotto-Vegetable Salad, Spring Edition

March 22, 2012
Dick Sandhaus

Like risotto, but made with farro. The first cultivated grain. We humans have been growing this stuff for more than 10,000 years. Incredibly high in protein. Great nutty flavor. A light, bright, satisfying meal with a big range of fresh flavors and textures.
