use real butter

When we heard this storm referred to as the Blizzard of ’06 on the radio, Jeremy and I looked at each other and laughed. We’ve heard a lot about the blizzard in March ’03 from several neighbors and friends. I’ve seen dozens of pictures of said friends shoveling several feet of snow off their decks and drives. We just didn’t think this would amount to much.

John’s restaurant is an unassuming 104-year old house, removed from the bustle of the Pearl Street Mall by several blocks. The chef-owned business is run by a brother-sister pair: Cory Buck (chef) and Ashley Maxwell (pastry chef), both natives of Boulder. It’s a charming place. Curiously, during our dinner, one of the fellow patrons came over to ask if I was a public television personality… I wonder if he thought I was Kylie Kwong (because a lot of folks have asked me if I am). Sorry dude, I’m just a geologist, but I would so rock that Australian accent of hers.
