Jazz Brunch at Dazzle

P231

Great brunch at Dazzle in Denver this morning. Family, food, and great music. Sunday brunch puts The Julie Monley Quartet on stage. Nice stuff! And, the buffet is superb with tons of specials like pulled pork, stupendous Mac-n-cheese, gnocchi, pork enchiladas, and so much more.

The Platte Valley Hunting Retriever Club hosted an introduction gun dog training class this weekend. They did a great job! Lots of good folks were there, learned a lot, and our little retriever Inara had a great time. And, as you can see, it's not all work! The puppies had a blast!

Fondue at the Melting Pot

Melting_pot_fondue
My daughter's 19th birthday was this weekend. We got her lots of neat presents, but the best part, I think, was going out to dinner for fondue. We went to the Melting Pot and had cheddar fondue, vegetable broth fondue for the entree (which included shrimp, chicken, salmon, and two cuts of beef). We wrapped it all up, of course, with a chocolate fondue. Had a great time.

Ducks and Geese on Easter

Had a great day on Easter! The weather was fantastic. After training Inara that morning and spending time with family for a fantastic brunch, we relaxed for a bit. What's that mean? We cleaned decoys and cooked goose wings! The goose wing recipe is on my Squidoo Recipes for Goose page. We marinaded them for nie on 36 hours and then slow cooked them for over two hours. Helped make them more tender (though some were still a bit chewey). They tasted fantastic! It made for a fantastic day. Lots of good prayers.

Easter Eggs!

P200

Doing the Easter Egg thing! This is a great tradition -- art you eat, and food you play with. We did about three dozen this year to share with family tomorrow.

One bummer: PAAS is the kit I've always used from as young as I can remember. Year after year the general kit you get in the store has fewer Christian symbols. And this year, none. Time for another decorating kit.
