The Fort Cookbook

The Fort is one of Denver's greatest restaurants. You can eat rattlesnake and yak and green chili ice cream IN A FORT with a view of the whole city! It's expensive, damn expensive, but you don't leave hungry and everyone has a wonderful time. I've been there 3 times ever and it usually costs ~$100 a person. There's usually some good coupons or deals on their website though. http://www.thefort.com/

They recently released a cookbook divulging most of their secrets, Shinin' Times at The Fort." (No, I don't think it has anything to do with Shining Time Station). I picked it up because I had a gift card. Like the restaurant, the book is damn expensive. It's not as bad on Amazon, and Amazon says they have the previous Fort book for $3, I'll have to order that one.

randomdreams recently lamented that my getting a job means he'll no longer come home to a 3 course meal. Since this might be my last weekday free for awhile I'm cracking open my new book.


Fort Green Salad with Damiana Vinaigrette (nudge wink wink)
Herb Bread
Cha Cha Murphys (twice-baked potatoes)
Buffalo BBQ Ribs (I have Johnnie Walker Green, Not Jack Daniels)
Grilled Banana
Grilled Asparagus (not from the book, but the grill is on)

(I still have Red Velvet Cupcakes)

Oooooo....

One of randomdreams's co-worker's wife just put her foot down, "Now that we have children, no more Mountaineering." He's done the Alps and the Himalayas.
I'm now the proud owner of a Grivel ice axe and a pair of La Sportiva Mountaineering boots (with enough space to fit hot packs and wool socks)! These are much lighter than my previous boots and the axe is very light as well.
(yes skazat you can borrow them)

Next time it ices over outside I'll don my crampons and run about.

I fell in love with glaciers in Iceland.
I can't get very cold but short trips would be great.

The Boss Hoss

A German Country and Western band with Orchestra covers Pop music, it is damn good. I heard Toxic a few years ago and could not stop the booty shakin', I just now looked up a bunch of their other stuff.
