Judging from the sheer volume of used espresso grounds, eggshells and empty San Pellegrino bottles over here, it's easy to see that it's been a productive weekend. (Taking the trash and the recycling out right after I post this...) But before I hop back into the fray, I wanted to share a couple things with you! As a general "heads up" (cliche I know I'm sorry) I wanted to … [Read more...] about It’s Not Too Late to Have a Healthy Weekend!

Borrowing an Idea From Tim Ferriss – Five for Friday… and Another Poker Chips Workout
Every Friday Tim Ferriss sends out a 5 bullet points for Friday email/blog post.

An Efficient Approach to Dinner for One or Two, or How to Take Full Advantage of a Giant Red Cabbage
Occasionally I won't share things because I think they're too obvious... only to have a friend say, NO, that's not obvious. So, if this next idea is too obvious, I apologize! I've been cooking for one or two for a very very very long time in a variety of interesting cooking circumstances. All of this has led to really efficient meals almost by accident.
