Blood Oranges & Bread

Two topics today. First: It may not seem so, given the recent frosts and our northern hemisphere, mile high location, being in the throes of winter, but it’s citrus season. Rejoice, y’all. Some people are paying attention. One person specifically on the ball (oranges are ball shaped, so it counts), is the Food and Beverage Director at Rio Grande Restaurants, Erich

Winter Travel Loop: Get Out and Explore

Off Menu with Josh Dinar, River and Woods in Boulder

Fifteen minutes into our interview, I confessed something to Josh that only a handful of people know. A decade ago, I started a group for people of many interests and pursuits, a gathering that I aptly named Renaissance People.

Sling the Sweet Potatoes and Chuck the Canned Cranberries: Boulder County Chefs Eschew Traditional Fare

Picture the typical North American holiday plate. Turkey or ham starring as the main with sweet potato and marshmallows, green bean casserole and stuffing stepping in as sides. Toss in a package of economy sized, palate cleansing, overly shiny dinner rolls and perfectly cylindrical cranberry slices and remember to leave room for the pumpkin or pecan pie. The utilitarian composition of

Perrin Brewing’s Winter Warmer Pack, Spirit Hound’s 7th Anniversary

Perrin Brewing Company is Michigan based, so this whole story is just a tease unless you’re ready for a near 20 hour drive. We were intrigued because once it got cold we started switching out our beer koozies for whiskey stones. Who really drinks copious amounts of beer in the winter? Not us. But Perrin, a CANarchy collaborator like our own Oskar Blues, Odell, and others, announced
