Lots this week! At Chow.com, a selection of “chunky, unusual summer salads”. The Food Lab at
Serious Eats has very good instructions on how to grill a perfect steak at home: “A perfect steak should have a crusty, crunchy, well-browned exterior surrounding a core of perfectly pink, juicy, tender meat that spans from edge-to-edge. (You well-doners can go eat your hockey pucks on someone else's lawn)”, as well as – for absolutely no reason I can determine – a description of the making of a “centuple-stuf Oreo cookie”, and I think even the deepest-dyed Oreo fans are gagging a bit by now.
Healthier stuff! Summer Tomato has a guest post by a self-described “(Diet) Cokehead” on how to break a diet soda addiction (there's no easy way). And Yoni Freedhoff offers a great article entitled “The truth? Healthy living requires effort”:
What you need to do to improve your health may not be in and of itself complicated, but finding the time and skill to do so in this current environment undoubtedly is.
But it's only a hardship if you make it one. Attitude's crucial to winning a healthy living fight. Exercise isn't about day to day suffering, it's about living a longer, better, more functionally independent, literally less painful life. Cooking's not about being a time consuming chore, it's about improving the health of your family and perhaps becoming less reliant on medications.
And one thing's for certain. It does require effort, and if anyone (including yourself) ever tells you differently they're either ignorant or they're liars.
The 20th, this Sunday, is Pick Strawberries Day. Even if that involves “picking” the best-looking box of them at the farmer's market, it's worth it (fruit is free! Freeeeee!), and the next day is National Strawberries and Cream Day. And tomorrow is the feast of St. Pascal Baylon, patron saint of cooks.
