Eggnog

It just occurred to me that I haven't really been anywhere in awhile. A quick daytime jaunt into Rocky Mountain National Park in September was the only thing I've done this fall besides my day shoeing horses.

This weekend is filling up with local stuff. The farmer's market ended a couple of weeks ago, but there's a special Thanksgiving market this Saturday. There will be one more before Christmas, but these are just shadows of the market during its peak in summer. There will be winter squash, maybe some apples, lots of crafts and jellies. Definitely worth going, but we've had several feet of snow already this fall so one can't really expect to see the produce section of Whole Foods at this thing.

Anyway, this week is First Bite Boulder. Lots of cities do something similar under different names, but the idea is the same: restaurants participate in offering multi-course meals for a set price that all participating restaurants honor. In Boulder, it's a three course meal for $26 per person. Most of Boulder's top restaurants are participating and we've got reservations with some friends this weekend after the big lighting ceremony downtown.

Wow, the eggnog is starting to kick in. I put in a bit more rum than I intended. G'night!
