Conscious Coffee Cupping at The Cup, Boulder
I went to my first cupping at The Cup with Conscious Coffees and now officially understand that I have a lot to learn about tasting and smelling distinct flavors in different coffees. But first, I had to find out what a cupping actually is. Here’s how The Cup describes a cupping on their website: “We
First Coffee and Pastry Tour
March 18, 2011 The first coffee and pastry tour was a lot of fun. I learned so much about coffee- a favorite morning drink that I’ve been consuming ever since my first day living in Spain at age 21… 10 years ago. I’m excited about my Coffee and Pastry tours because they are a great
Valentine Fizz
On a recent dining tour, Greg, the esteemed beverage manager at OAK at Fourteenth, made a unique new cocktail for us called a Valentine Fizz (it is February, after all).

I’m saying that because… well, because of a number of reasons. First, the Fried Pickles. I’m serious. I could eat fried pickled from Oak every day for the rest
Pizzeria da Lupo, Boulder
Anyone following the food scene in Boulder knows that we now have more phenomenal pizzerias per capita than anywhere outside of Italy. Where did I get that statistic? I made it up, but it seems to be true lately. In my latest taste-test of our primo-pizzerias, I went to Pizzeria da Lupo, which is located
The Pinyon, Boulder
Well, it’s happened again. Another fantastic restaurant has opened in Boulder. I thought a Tuesday night would be slow, but The Pinyon was packed when we arrived around 7:30. We got two seats at the beautiful, large, spacious, wooden bar and got to watch the busy, meticulous kitchen staff work hard while we enjoyed the
