Laura, her sister Kelly and I all took a “High Altitude Baking Class” on Wednesday night at Cookstreet and had a great time. I think we learned a lot as well; the chef gave us lots of good tips, and we got to play around with our recipes, adjusting to see what worked out best.

Today is November 25th, the first anniversary of my Grandpa, Les Jones’ death. I loved my Grandpa very much and I miss him today, and most other days of the year. In memoriam, I’m going to share what I remember and what I loved about my Grandpa.
My Grandpa was an auto-mechanic and owned [...]
Mike and I headed up to Laura and Nate’s mountain retreat this weekend to spend some time with them, which is rare, and do some relaxing. We took Cash, since he seems to get along well with Duke and Milan, and he likes getting away from the cats.
We all had a really good time [...]

Okay, I admit it, I have several movies that I really only like to see the endings of, rather than spend the time watching the whole movie. It’s not that the whole movie is bad and the ending good, it’s just that I really like the ending more than the rest of the movie. I [...]
Today Mike and I have officially been married three years. He promised me 100 years, so really, 3 years is a drop in the bucket, but still it’s three years. It’s been good, we laugh a lot, we’ve learned a lot about each other, and we still like each other. It’s nice being so comfortable [...]
No, this is not a blog about the movie “The Dirty Dozen”, which I admit I was forced by my father to watch multiple times as a child. Instead I wanted to share some information that I found surprising, scary and very helpful about organic foods.
I’m always trying to decide which foods I should spend [...]
So I have a wonderful friend Rena, who makes jewelry. Last week I showed her website on ebay - http://stores.ebay.com/Sundance-Moods - to my mom. My mom just loved all the jewelry and pointed out several pairs of earrings that she really liked. So of course, I bought a few pairs for her for Christmas. As always, Rena shipped them out lightening [...]
So I’ve moved my own personal blog to here. You’re here, so that’s nice. Thanks for coming! I will now be using this site as my own place to blog about stuff other than cooking and restaurants, although frankly, that will be hard, since food is a big part of my life. Anyway, Denver Restaurant [...]
