Popcorn of Champions
Two Ways to fill that bowl with tons of flavor. But very light on the calories. The snack of choice when you expect to spend a few hours on the couch watching TV. Two versions: grated parmigiano and gremolata.
Slower Sunday: Time Zones
What a difference a flight makes. A few days ago, my walk in the park looked like this. Winter time. Today, it looks like rain forest time. In Costa Rica.
The Walk That Skates Ottawa
A great day-hike. 18 miles. 6 to 8 hours with three river crossings, two canal crossings and one waterfall crossing. Burn almost 2,500 calories. More than you'll consume trying to sample all the cuisines in the Byward Market district.
Egg Foo Yung. Chinese New Year Omelet
A perfect meal in a pan. A great Way to use the always seasonal, local and same-day fresh eggs from the Farmers Market. A few minutes of chopping and stirring. Five minutes of tending. One suspenseful second of flipping.
Egg Drop Soup. Remember?
A wonderful winter soup you make in a few minutes. Rich but light. Nourishing and deeply flavorful. Less than $1 for two servings. Your Chinese New Year resolution.
Egg UnRolled: Chinese New Year Pizza
It's not authentic anything, but it tastes great. A soy-sesame cabbage slaw with ham and spicy mustard on a pizza crust. $1.50 for the whole thing. Happy New Year.
Slower Sunday: What’s that sound?
Take a 90-second vacation. Sounds like a faster vacation, not a Slower one. But it's a nice, slow minute and a half. A good Sunday pace. Listen with me. Just Press Play.
Hazelnut-Chocolate Pie: A Nutella Pizza
An outside-in dessert pizza that's an instant legend. A huge cookie to share. Light and crisp. Only as sweet as you choose to make it. Makes 8 people extremely happy for $2.
Upstream. To Hanakapi’ai Falls.
But first you have to stroll across Ke'e Beach. And then you have to hike the Kalalau Trail, hanging 200' above the brilliant blue Pacific. It's tough hiking here on the Hawaiian island of Kaua'i.
Rosemary-Garlic-Potato Pizza
There are dozens of regional versions of potato pizza in Italy. So it's strange that you never see it here in the U.S. Especially when potatoes are one of the few "seasonal" vegetables available. Not just a great $2 pizza. A great pizza, period.
