This is how this blog began so many years ago: me posting cool events (most free; this one isn’t) in Austin because I felt like no one else knew what was going on. These days, I don’t feel very plugged-in to the restaurant scene, nor do I think I really want to start posting events…
That’s right, a Boulder-based company is hosting two visiting events in the two cities I call home. The parallels! The Blind Cafe comes to Austin January 26-28 and Aspen February 14. The Blind Cafe is a completely dark dinner, live music, and speaking experience. For more on the individual events in each of the cities, read…
While searching foodily.com for a recipe for shrimp and scallops, I stumbled upon this: Seafood Sausage with Miso Mustard Recipe Although it is paleo, I wasn’t looking for a paleo recipe, but it intrigued me. So I made it. Basically you food-processor a bunch of seafood, roll it into cabbage (the hardest part, and I…

This morning I weighed the same as yesterday. Looks like this is the number to keep! Once I’m done with the HCG Phase, I have to maintain within 2 pounds of this number or I have to do something to fix it. Shoutout to hellojody.com, a blog by a woman who is now doing the HCG…

Ordered a small glass, SO DELICIOUS.…

Finally not ravenous! Lunch was easy: salad bar and packet of tuna. Dinner, I went to town at the grocery store and came home and prepped a ton of food. I made an HCG veggie soup (recipe to come soon), cauliflower frice, seasoned ground beef, and steamed broccolini. Many of you former Zoners recognize the…
Eating on the cheap in Aspen (/Snowmass) can be a challenge, so I’m thrilled they’ve introduced Restaurant Week to Snowmass! More than 25 restaurants (who knew Snowmass had that many?!) are participating with prices at $20.11 … cute. Started on Saturday, runs through February 18. My top three picks: GARNISH (American) Open Daily for Après…
BB’s Kitchen is Aspen’s newest top-floor establishment, and what a rooftop it is! It’s more like a complex: BB’s restaurant at the top of the stairs on Cooper Street, the BB’s lounge to your left, and a huge deck for sunning–when it isn’t snowing (it’s not open yet). The Vermonster and I were lucky enough…
