Hammer pants
August 31, 20100 Comments
So the worst trend of the 80's are officially back. Last night I had the pleasure of seating a couple and one of those people were rocking honest to god hammer pants. I haven't see a person wear those since 6th grade. No picture since I can't use my phone while on duty. Sent on the Sprint® Now Network from my BlackBerr...

Farmers Market Bounty
August 30, 20100 Comments
So we finally hit one of the many farmers markets in Colorado today. This one is only a few minutes away in Frisco and the best thing about the is that they are open everyday, hopefully thru October. They even sell organic meat so they might end up being a one stop shop. Sent on the Sprint® Now Network from my BlackBerr...

Home Sweet Home
August 11, 20100 Comments
Not wanting to jinx anything I've been holding off on this post for about a week now.  I'm excited to say that we're moving out of the ghetto (otherwise known as the Big Horn Apartments) into a house on Peak 7 in Breckenridge.  It's really almost unheard of.  We are only minutes from the Gondola.  This season is going to be Epic. I haven't really taken too many pictures of it since we didn't want to seem over eager but the ones...

I was wondering what they were going to do about replacing Steve Carrell on The Office.  The show would be dead if some new blood wasn't brought in.  Today I read that two actors I really enjoy, that both have shows on Showtime, and that are hilarious, are up for the part. ****BEWARE THE CLIP BELOW HAS A TON OF PROFANITY***** Eastbound and Down/Kenny Powers - Played by:  Danny McBride Flight of the Concords/Murray Band Manager...

The Perfect Breakfast for a Rainy Morning
August 02, 2010 4 Comments
A great breakfast for winter, especially before skiing, but today it was another cold, rainy day and I figured we should have something substantial. Biscuits and Sausage Gravy - Such a cheap thing to make.  Since it's just the two of us I buy the half size biscuits.  Soon I'll be making them in advance and freezing them so nothing gets wasted.  Plus when you make the gravy you can get 3 meals.  I portion it out and freeze what's...

Cheesecake with Mixed Berries
August 02, 20101 Comments
I was really in the mood for cheesecake the other night and wasn't feelin' making one from scratch so I grabbed one at the store, NY style.  This was my last indulgence.  Since I'm trying to push myself to cook/bake my new rule is I cook it or I don't get it.  Simple enough.  I really like to have berries with my cheesecake and I knew I had some blueberries and strawberries in the freezer from the last time they were on sale. ...

Silver Plume Bakery
August 01, 20100 Comments
So Pete and I went around the other day to check out some places we found in the paper to rent. Hopefully we can find something nice, private & cheap relatively fast. We looked at 2 places in Georgetown that were OK but not ideal then we went to Silver Plume. Silver Plume is a miner town that looks like it's still deserted. There's a old hotel in the front of town that was for rent. It's Creepy and our appointment was set for way later in...

Carnage Party 2010
August 01, 20100 Comments
So "Rapid Image", the company that takes pictures of the rafters on Clear Creek, hosts a party every year to show off the flips and other embarrassing pictures that are caught on film during the season. The party was held at BBQ Smokin Yards.  You can't go wrong when it's only $6 for all you can drink and eat.  I love this place and it took us awhile before we went over there to try it.  The BBQ is great and they have the best sauces....

Sugar Plum Restaurant - Idaho Springs
August 01, 20100 Comments
So after I picked Pete up from the airport, last Sunday, we decided it was time to hit up this little restaurant that we've been wanting to try since we moved here.  It's hard to eat out here since there really isn't a schedule as to when places will be open.  Especially the smaller ones. Anyway I only could get one shot since you aren't allowed to have your cells on.  The woman who runs the place has a pacemaker so I'd rather just...

Animal Look Alikes
August 01, 20100 Comments
Pete and I have been getting the local papers a lot lately and they had an animal section where I found pictures of my mom's cats!  It looks like pictures I've taken of them myself.  I had to use my cell to get a copy of these from the paper so the quality isn't the best but hopefully anyone who knows these crazy cats can see the similarities.  Tiger Siata...

Chana Saag

A dish that reminds me so much of NY.  It was one of my favorite places to eat out, Indian restaurants are so much fun.  Mine is no where as good as ANY place on 6th St in Manhattan but it's a pretty close 2nd.  Now all I need to do is make my own Naan.  Hopefully the first house we move into will have a bread oven built in the kitchen.  A girl can dream right...

Chocolate Chip Cookies

Just another round of Chocolate Chip cookies.  I think I'm finally getting how to bake in the altitude here.  Lets hope it goes good when they are made from scratch.  Here they are cooling on the racks, I have to say I didn't think I'd use them as much as I do but they always come in handy. Final Product, Who doesn't love Chocolate Chip Cookies...

Chicken Two Ways
August 01, 20100 Comments
I really wanted to make some chicken in the oven while we were having a bit of a cold snap here so I decided to roast it with some veggies.  The picture really didn't come out very well and I think you could tell how hungry I was, otherwise I would have taken my time.  For lunch the next day I shredded a leftover piece and had it on toasted whole grain bread with some of my 'Luger Sauce...

Wraps with Saffron Rice & Beans
August 01, 20100 Comments
I've been really slacking on the food posts so I'll pulling some of my older pics so you can see what we've been eating.  As usual I made my beans with what I think are standard ingredients.  People in the mountains have never heard of Goya which blows my mind.  I think this is a great summer dinner since I like to pack the wraps with tons of veggies.  You only need to turn the stove on to heat up the beans.  I make all...

Now I can rock a pair of heels with the best of them (Who am I kidding, anyone who knows me knows I'll fall at least once during a night out) but these are just too extreme for me. I have seen her take a nasty spill in these and it must be really hard to escape from the paps in them.&nbs...

Want Elvis' piano?
August 01, 20100 Comments
On August 14th Heritage Auctions' will be holding an Elvis Presley Auction at the Peabody Hotel in Memphis, TN.   His White Kanbe Grand Piano is being auctioned and is expected to sell for around 1 million dollars.  I would love to get my hands on the original 1955 RCA contract.  That would be an awesome addition to our studio.  I'll have to check after the auction to see how much it went for.  ...

Oakland loves its weed
August 01, 20100 Comments
 Oakland, CA is set to be the first city to authorize large-scale industrial cultivation of marijuana.  The city council approved a license for four factories that would grow and package the drug for medical use!  The facilities would not be limited in size, but would be heavily taxed and regulated.  It will be bringing a lot of jobs to the area but could you imagine telling someone you worked at a weed factor...

Beer from a Dead Squirrel
August 01, 20100 Comments
This is really gross!  This is from a Village Voice article that I read. 'Scottish brewers have released a new, 55 percent alcohol version -- that's much stronger than most spirits -- called the End of History, and yes, you can get yours stuffed into a dead squirrel or stoat. The squirrel version will run you £700, the stoat £500, all for the illusion that your ludicrously strong brew is being vomited up by a rodent. As for that beer,...

This week Mark David Chapman, the man that shot John Lennon, will be up for his 6th parole hearing on his 20 to life prison term.  Yoko Ono, Lennon's widow, is fighting to keep him behind bars.  In a letter she sent to the parole board she is quoted as saying: '"I am afraid it will bring back the nightmare, the chaos and confusion once again. Myself and John's two sons would not feel safe for the rest of our lives." They should just...
