peach blueberry cornmeal cobbler
with this recipe, feel free to adjust the balance of fruit; for a less-dominating blueberry flavor, use 1 cup less and 1 cup more peaches; and if you’re one that thinks there can never be enough biscuit topping, go ahead and double what is suggested in the recipe!

I have salty sweat!
“I’ve been running over a year now, have completed two half-marathons, and doing my first full marathon in May, averaging 30 miles a week. I eat a fairly healthy diet, but all I want to eat is salt. HELP!”
Before you start dumping salt packets in your mouth, realize that some people are salty sweaters, and you are probably one of them. If any of the following signs...

“You know what they should do? She should just shoot whoever she doesn’t pick. Or do that thing from the Ellen show where she pulls the lever and sends the loser plummeting through that hole in the platform. But she couldn’t laugh. Or be sad. That would ruin it. I guarantee they’ll do something like that...
