Great Balls of Exercise: Leg Extensions

January 16, 2023

Another bouncy exercise. But not too bouncy. The Ball is unstable. It rolls. Unless you exert force to keep it in place. Which means you engage many large and small muscles. Very time-efficient. Comfy and fun. And it burns more calories.

As far as you can go until you're here. I'd walk four miles to see this any time. And the other four miles to get back.

That's the question at breakfast every morning ... if you're in Nepal. If you're in North America this week, it's the answer. Easily habit-forming. Great for recharging your immune system. A very good habit at this time of year.

The Most Beautiful Hike in the World

Kauai's Nu'alolo Ridge Trail delivers a visual punch line that's more powerful than any other I've seen. Even now, on my tenth or twelfth visit, it still gets me. Doesn't take me by surprise, but it still takes me. To that place where you really can't think, you just sense.

All Seasons Ratatouille. All you can eat

Warm and satisfying. So many flavors. So few calories in such a big serving. Just the kind of calories you want, the ones with a low glycemic load. Just vegetables, olive oil and chickpeas. And these super-high-fiber chickpeas are a great source of protein.

Jambalaya: A New Orleans State of Mind

Dick Sandhaus

Sometimes I just think about New Orleans. The food, the music. Which gets me thinking about jambalaya. That great throw-it-together rice dish. Succulent, sweet & spicy shrimp, smoky sausage and deeply flavorful rice. A colorful comfort food for a dreary winter day.

Savory Basil & Tomato Pudding Cake

The flavors and aroma of a spectacular pasta. The feel of a soufflé. Huge, rich flavors to re-awaken every taste bud you've got. So light you won't feel like you're piling on after all the festive eating.

Goodness, gracious, Great Balls of …

Here's another Way to amuse yourself while you exercise. With a Stability Ball. It's unstable. It rolls. Unless you exert force to keep it in place. Which means you engage many large and small muscles. Very time-efficient. And it burns more calories.

Slower Sunday: A Lost Tradition

January 8, 2023
Dick Sandhaus

Why did we humans ever stop doing this? Until a few years a go, I never even tried it. I don't think my parents ever did. I'm really not sure if my grandparents did. C'mon, the day is young. Give it a try.

Lemon Tart with a Graham Cracker Crust

January 7, 2023
Dick Sandhaus

Rich but light, intensely flavorful but not too sweet. Bright lemon flavor in a real Graham cracker crust. Transcendent flavors. Spectacular mouth feel. Probably the best thing you'll put in your mouth today.
