When Jeremy was short-listed with CU Boulder, I told him if he got an offer, we would go to the Flagstaff House for dinner. Right after I told him this, I realized I shouldn’t have said anything because if he didn’t get an offer, I wouldn’t feel we could ever go there for fear of any lingering guilt on his part. Good thing he got an offer!

With taxes done, we decided to head out to review Laudisio, a restaurant that my supervisor (a foodie in her own right) raved about. [Note: We reviewed Laudisio when it was in its old location. It has since moved to the 29th Street Mall in Boulder and expanded into a larger establishment. We have dined at both locations. The old location had better, more personalized service. The food is still very good.]

This morning before we set off to ski, I made myself eat something. I usually dislike eating in the morning, and I’m typically not a huge fan of breakfast foods. But the last time I was in the grocery store, I decided it was high time I got more calcium and fruit. This idea was spurred by Nicole’s magical smoothie recipe which includes, of all things, two scoops of vanilla ice cream – no wonder it’s so magical! I opted for a slightly healthier version.

On a spur of the moment decision tonight, we went into town for dinner because I was craving a buffalo burger. That’s all I could think of, so we went to Zolo Grill. I’m not sure if it’s skiing or being out in the cold that works up the appetite (or both!), but there you have it. I brought my camera in case I wanted to review Zolo, even though there are about five other places I’d prefer to review instead. I just wasn’t in the mood for anything but my buffalo burger. I went ahead reviewed it, although it’s not in the same league as the first three. Jeremy said once I determined to review it, my facial expression became serious and I was thoughtfully tasting each dish. Hey – I take food seriously.
