Who loves bacon?… Okay… better question- who does NOT love bacon? Bacon is one of those necessary evils. You love to love it but at the same time realize that it is not something you should eat at every meal, right?

Such is the quest of one of my  personal favorite local chef’s- Justin Brunson of Masterpiece Deli and Old Major, … [Read more...]

On Jason’s birthday every year he begs me to go camping, but it is at least a month before camping is even possible in Colorado; each year I remind him that it is too cold, and then he pouts a bit. This year I found an alternative that I knew he would love, a trip to Fawn Valley Inn in Estes Park. I told him about my plan, and he looked at the website and thought it would be great. We booked unit #203, which is a deluxe one-bedroom condo on the river. It is a one-bedroom, one-bathroom … [Read more...]
