Well, it’s Tuesday already! I can’t believe my surgery was way back last Thursday. And the past two days have been pretty much a blur of napping, reading, and eating. Yesterday we just hung out at the hotel all day. Even the evening, they have a “reception” of a light meal in the dining area. … Continue reading a couple more days down the road to recovery

shrimp and more shrimp in Baton Rouge
We made it to New Orleans on time today. Beth rented a car and drove us to Baton Rouge, where we checked into our hotel, the Comfort Suites. I can’t remember staying in a hotel with worse internet connectivity (not counting hotels that say they don’t even offer internet service). But once we brought our… Continue reading shrimp and more shrimp in Baton Rouge
Todd’s lazy Sunday
Today is the first day I’ve had in weeks where I didn’t have anything planned. And so I’m hoping to take best advantage of it and catch up on a ton of R&R. Not only that, but I got an extra hour due to the time change! Last weekend was fully action packed, because I… Continue reading Todd’s lazy Sunday
any outstanding green restaurants in Colorado? in Broomfield?
I read this article on the TreeHugger blog this morning: Five Outstanding Green Restaurants : TreeHugger Like it sounds, they review 5 “green” US restaurants. Sadly, no restaurants from Colorado made their list. What’s your favorite “green” restaurant using the same criteria as TreeHugger?

Welcome to Sprouts Farmers Market
I just found out some exciting news! Broomfield is getting a real natural supermarket. It’s not Wild Oats / Whole Foods, or even Vitamin Cottage. It’s Sprouts Farmers Market. Supposedly they’re opening in October next to Staples near (or in, maybe) the now-defunct Albertson’s on 120th. I’d never heard of Sprouts before, so I had… Continue reading Welcome to Sprouts Farmers Market

chocolate in Denver
Beth’s on this kick where she’s sampling chocolate from every single store in the Denver metro area, and then writing articles on which ones are the best. This means that we are now on a 94% chocolate diet. And at the current rate, I have a feeling it’s going to take about 8 more weeks… Continue reading chocolate in Denver
adobo chicken, borracho beans, and cilantro rice
I had some problems with our pressure cooker last night. But once I got it working right, what emerged was pretty awesome. I had it for lunch today and thought I should write down the recipe. So here goes. The dish is made out of three main parts, and I’ll address each of those separately… Continue reading adobo chicken, borracho beans, and cilantro rice

our trip to Wray for prairie chickens
I left work early Friday so Beth and I could drive to the little town of Wray, Colorado. Wray is on the plains of the northeast part of the state, not far from the Nebraska state line. The reason for our trip? It’s the mating season of the Greater Prairie Chicken. For a one month… Continue reading our trip to Wray for prairie chickens
