Beefy burgers and tofu burgers from the grill, and why there’s nothing wrong with eating both

So I’m trying to enjoy this grill for as long as I can before a bunch of snow gets dumped on top of it. See, before I came out to Colorado I’d heard it was crazy dry here and that I’d need to bring multiple gallons of lotion with me just to keep my skin [...]

It’s A Great Day For Blueberries

The sort of fruits I choose to buy are sometimes rather dependent on the price tag. For example, I have lately been buying near-excessive quantities of blueberries, because it’s hard to say “no” to $2.00 per container. There are near-infinite possibilities regarding what one can do with blueberries, so I’ll cover a few here that [...]

Since I haven’t posted about red curry in awhile…here’s a post with red curry in it!

I just really like red curry. I haven’t had a chance to make it really recently, unfortunately, as all of my interesting ingredients are either sitting, unused, at my parent’s house in Richmond, or are sitting, hopefully being used, at various friends’ houses.

And while sushi isn’t the most expensive thing out there, it’s not exactly the cheapest, [...]

Elke’s German Deli in Fountain, CO

We decided [...]

My Big Fat Hippie Breakfast

So I go through these breakfast phases. Like, for awhile I’ll be really into eating cereal. And then all of the sudden, I’ll just have no stomach for it, and start eating bananas every day. Then I’ll suddenly get really sick of bananas and switch to something else. Then at some point I’ll inevitably be [...]

Charlie’s Pit Bar-B-Que in Manitou Springs, CO

The exciting thing about (or the problem with, depending on your half full/half empty choice of philosophy) moving to a new location is that you have no idea whatsoever if any of the food places near you are delicious or awful. You just don’t know, unless you get a recommendation from someone, take the time [...]
