A Taste of Colorado, or Post #1

So here we are: 2010. I've moved to a new city, met some new people and I'll be one of these presumptuously grandiloquent grad students soon. Naturally, now is the time I start a blog! A blog about something everyone does, something that everyone enjoys, something so seductive that we wish we were doing it whenever we aren't. It's my blog about a prolific bringer of joy, pleasure and satisfaction. It's a blog about...wait for it...hold your breath...wow, I can't wait...oh my god I'm such a douche...eating. And cooking, and exploring, inventing and experimenting with food. These and whatever else comes along, but since food is probably always involved somehow it seems like a pretty legit common thread to string all those miscellaneous riff-raff events together.


Anyway, everyone know Labor Day Weekend means you have to wear all your white clothes real quick. But it also means that it's time for A Taste of Colorado, an event all about music, shopping and, duh, food. Also, this weekend also means it's time to stain all your nice white clothes with the myriad colorful edibles you'll find. Case in point: a pair of white socks that fell victim to green chile sauce from a cactus burrito (I was sitting cross-legged in the grass, don't worry about how it happened). Besides that gastrointestinal dive, I had some really tasty Buffalo Chicken Balls with bleu cheese, Chipotle Wild Boar Pulled Pork, Fried Alligator Tail and Elk Jerky. Some other things, too, probably. Do I have pictures? No. Why would I bring my camera? That's dumb. Mary and Connor did, though, so I'll steal their pictures to post later. Of course the day ended with stomach cramps and thus a fairly miserable Light Rail ride/walk back home. But, whatever. Worth it.

UPDATE: This is my cactus-burrito-ruined-sock.
