One Enchanted Hike
I'm a waterfall guy. If I was a bird watcher, I'd be in heaven. As it is, I feel transported. Escorted, actually. Escorted by a pair of Scarlet Macaws on an enchanted beach hike to a spectacular waterfall. Can't just sit there on the beach when the forest is so full of wonder.
Brussels sprouts: glazed, smoky, timely
Just in time for next Tuesday: National Maple Syrup Day. And just in time for holiday feasting. A spectacularly flavorful green cruciferous vegetable dish for your Christmas spread. A little sweetness from maple syrup and cider. A shot of smoky, salty and rich from smoked bacon or ham.
Rooting for Winter Ratatouille
I should have done this sooner. Very delicious, cheap and easy. Somewhere between a warm salad and a vegetable stew. A winter version of something I love all summer. A meal in itself. Or a light, bright, lively and warm course that goes with everything.

Slower Sunday: The Gift of Groovy
I think these could make a comeback. The perfect gift for every currently or formerly groovy guy or gal who has everything ... else. Just 2 more Slower Sundays until Christmas. Oh wow.
Grilled Carrots, Sweet & Sour
A vegetarian dish that's got it all. Crunchy, crispy, creamy. Slighly sweet and sour. Aromatic and beautiful. Near-zero Glycemic Load. And easy.
The Walk That Ate Bananas
While it's still possible, eat one before your morning walk. At the Kona Coffee and Fruit Garden, you can get a pretty good cup of coffee with it. And walk down Lower Napoopoo Road to Kealakekua Bay to swim with the spinner dolphins spiraling in and out of the water. Just for fun.
Soulful Soup from Tuscany: Ribollita
When it gets really cold, it's time to make ribollita, a deeply delicious and satisfying potful of Tuscan kale soup, something between a rich vegetable soup and a vegetable stew. A complete and soulful meal in a bowl.
