Don't know where we're going, but we're making great time.
The whole point of crab fishing is to eat the crab you catch! Enjoy Jan’s easy recipe for boiled crab: Ingredients Rock Salt Water Live crab Equipment Large Pot Tongs to handle the crab Crab crackers Method Cover bottom of a pot large enough to hold your crab with rock salt. Fill with water and…
So, neither Jan nor I have read the Twilight book series by Stephenie Meyer, but that doesn’t mean we’re unaware of vampire/werewolf culture. We hear things. Jan has been involved in one-sided conversations with his kids about glitter, and I may have actually seen a few clips from the movies. However, I was slightly surprised…
New Orleans is know for it’s food, and we love food. However, we rounded up a zillion calories worth of recommendations before we even set foot in the city, so that meant we had to make some hard choices. To even dent the list, we decided to take a grazing approach — fewer sit-down meals…
Jan has client work in New Orleans so we’re in town for about seven days. That’s all the time I think we’ll need, though. We’ve both been to NOLA several times and the hot, sticky tropical weather is not something we want to enjoy long-term. Having said that, we do have a hefty list of…
Denver isn’t exactly the Colorado town for us — a little too expensive, you have to drive to get to mountain stuff/views, and it’s overrun with Avs fans & scooter people. However, we were told repeatedly that the smaller communities outside of the city would probably be a better fit. So we decided to rent…
When we first started walking around the neighborhoods of Capitol Hill and City Park, we couldn’t help but notice something…odd. Every cool, old mansion and large house seemed to have a pair of lions out front. Big lions, little lions, sleeping, roaring, preening, posing — lions were everywhere. There’s even a dive bar on Colfax…
Denver has some nice big parks. City park is where my goose friends live and cormorant island lurks. It also borders the zoo so you can get an occasional glimpse of non-native beasts. As we’re walking I’m always imagining escape and evade options in the event the sirens go off at the zoo indicating a…
The weather has warmed up, so naturally we dipped into Denver’s ice cream scene to get the scoop. Little Man Ice Cream. A standard allotment of butterfat-filled flavors conveniently located on the front steps of Linger’s. Plan to go to the funeral parlor for a light lunch, then sit in the shade of the giant…
In case you were unaware, electric scooters are the hot garbage of transportation. I hadn’t planned to say anything, but I have friends in Chicago who are excited by the prospect of electric scooter pilot programs in the city. I’ve now lived in a scooter-friendly city for two months and have developed an informed opinion:…
It’s pretty much guaranteed that if there are big, hulking rocks in the vicinity, Jan and I will be there eventually. We can’t seem to resist the lure of climbing around to check out the view. So naturally we headed west to Red Rocks. Red Rocks Amphitheater is a grouping of natural rock formations tucked…
