I can't believe that the tents will no longer be in Bryant Park for Fashion Week.  It's nice to know that they will be moving to my absolutely favorite place in NY, Lincoln Center.  It's a shame I didn't go there as much as I could have, it's so far uptown, but ever since the first time Pete took me there I fell in love.

I'm not sure how I feel about the additional building, labeled Mercedes-Benz in the photo below, that they are erecting to house the shows.  The layout of that property feels so serene, and that's hard to find in the city.

So we decided to make some fried stuff for dinner.  Not the best choice but it came out really good. 

Pete was in charge of the wings and I think they came out great.  The sauce was a little spicy but tasty. 
To make the sauce:
1 Cup Franks Red Hot
2 T butter

Heat over medium heat in a sauce pan.  Toss with the wings after they've been fried. 

I served it with some veggies and blue cheese.  We're almost done with the Marie's Blue Cheese we bought on sale.  Thank goodness it stays good for so long. 

I fried up some fries for Pete and Okra for me.  I decided to make some horseradish mayo for the fries and of course I served the Okra with ranch. 
Since it was so rich I couldn't eat that much but boy was it good. 

So it's been raining & snowing the past two days and Clear Creek is finally filling up and turning to white water.  Here is a shot that shows the water level.  It's really more the sound of it since this is as close as I can get.  But you can see it a little. 



Pete's snowboard finally showed up from Cali.  This was one of the last ones left in the size he needed.  Plus we got a pretty sweet deal on it.  Who am I kidding that's the only time we buy stuff.

The bag that you see in the background is the Wii that Pete won't set up for me.  Trust me if I tried it would be a mess and I'd probably unplug something by accident.  That seems to happen when I try to adjust anything in our complicated professional audio set up.

This dog is absolutely amazing! For any of you who didn't see this story, this is why German Shepherds are the best dogs to have.  Sorry Beige. 

The police video below shows Buddy, a German Shepherd from Alaska, leading a police officer to his owners home workshop that had caught on fire.  It just proves how smart they are.  The dog keeps looking back and stops when the officer slows down to make sure that he's still being followed, when he knows for sure that he is he takes off like a bullet. That's a good dog.

Today we headed up to A-Basin to take a few runs.  Pete's up to 81 days now!  Here is a picture of the lift line.

And we finally took the time to catch up with Lost.  Thankfully a few of the questions we had were answered. 

We've been so busy that I really haven't had a chance to cook that much.  We picked up some all natural local Italian sausage from the store and decided to make it for dinner.  Since it's just the two of us he's what I used:

2 Sausage Links - Hot
1/4 pound wheat angel hair
1 cup Homemade Pasta Sauce
Grated Fresh Parmesan Cheese (optional)
2 slices Grilled Italian Bread

So finally I got a decent shot of pasta

Today Pete and I took a drive we headed over to one of our favorite breakfast places 'The Hard Rock Cafe'
Apparently this place was opened long before the more well known restaurant.  They were sued to change their name but won on that fact.  They were closed for their 2 week break between ski season and the summer season.  It was a bummer but it just meant we would have to try a new place.

We kept heading west on I-70 and decided to try and find something in Sliverthorne.  We'd really like to move there so we got to take a look around and I've never eaten at any of the restaurants there.  The place we found was great.  Pete and I can't remember the name and since I was starving I didn't take any pictures.  The food was great, our waitress was awesome and the specials were super cheap.  We'll definitely be going back.

We decided that since we were almost there that we would head to Breckenridge to check out some of the end of season deals.  We walked the strip and some of the side streets we hadn't been on before. 

I've been meaning to get a shot of this place the last couple times we've been there but it never happened.  The wooden bears are so cute!

You can see that people here are just as considerate as people from NYC!  This truck was so huge that it couldn't even fit in the picture. 

Here is a close up of what that sign says, Nice right?

The thing I love about Breck is the mini restaurants they have around the town, this is one of them and they have a little crepe place that I've been meaning to try that looks very similar. 

Any of who watch The Hills will get a kick out of this spoof.  Especially when you see Heidi post surgery, lol.

There are a few interesting things to report today.  First off on the way to Wal-Mart today a saw there was a bunch of Big Horn Sheep right on the road.  So I made a note to try to take a pic as I drove by on the way home.  It's not the best because I was focusing on the road but you can see how close they are to traffic.
 
We took a drive up towards Central City & Black Hawk on Rte 6 so I snapped a few pictures.  This is one of the most amazing drives I think I've been on so far.  The canyon is beautiful
