Last weekend, Marsh Mallow and I were on the beach in Florida. Neither of us live there and it’s barely summer where we come from, so our skin is a little pale. To protect ourselves from the peak cancer-inducing sun rays, we hung out at the pool-side bar with direct view of the ocean and [...]

Sangria with fresh oranges, mangos and strawberries
May 5th, 2009 · No Comments · Alcohol, Drinks, Holiday
It’s Cinco de Mayo! We decided to celebrate at our office with fresh-made guacamole, chips, salsa and home made Sangria. Delicious. I assigned myself to Sangria creation (and enjoyment).
Ingredients:
1.5 litre shiraz (but you could use other red wine)
1 juicy orange cut into chunks
1 ripe mango cut into chunks
1 quart sweet strawberries cut into chunks
1 cup [...]
latte what?
July 28th, 2008 · No Comments · Drinks
Sure, some of you may laugh, but I’m getting better darn-it! What are these creations, you say? Well, if you have to ask, then I’m just going to assume you are joking.

The Other Den

Last night we dined at the Izakaya Den (owned by and located across the street from Sushi Den). It was fabulous. You can order the exact same sushi as is served across the street, and they serve additional contemporary meal options as well.
Here’s what I recommend if you go there:

will it work? (taping a coffee mug shut)
April 20th, 2008 · No Comments · Drinks, Will It Work
Those who know me, realize how much I rely on my beloved sigg mug to transport my beloved coffee to work on my bike each morning. It is indestructible (I’ve dropped it off the top of the car before), completely leak proof and keeps liquids warm… not just warm, hot…. for hours.
So imagine my despair [...]

tastes like latte art?
April 6th, 2008 · 2 Comments · Drinks
So I think I have gotten over a little hump on the road to being able to create latte art. Out of nowhere, on Saturday I came up with this:
Of course, it looked much better before I spent 3 minutes looking for the camera. I have been practicing the tip that one of the Metropolis [...]

Apple Cider and Strawberry Juice

I haven’t been doing a whole lot of cooking lately, but I’m still eating! And, more to the point of this post, drinking.
I went through Canon City a few weeks ago and picked up some DiNardo’s juice. This is a little shop off Highway 50 in Canon City and it’s worth stopping by [...]

what to do when you’re all alone

I would like to add: that’s a dollup of plain greek yogurt on top, not sour cream. I think it tastes 95% as good and the greek yogurt has the same texture as sour cream. I figure this healthier food choice off-sets the beer choice. Someone should make a calculator. Maybe a widget. enter: 2 [...]

Dutch mint tea
January 7th, 2008 · No Comments · Drinks
Ever wonder what it would be like to sip tea steeped straight from the leaves?
In Amsterdam they only serve you mint tea with fresh leaves, sugar optional on the side. The leaves steep for a few minutes in boiling water. I recommend leaving them in for the whole sipping experience, although you might find it [...]
