Hello all! As I have the weekend off from cooking at the B&B, I took advantage and went to the Farmer's Market in Golden, Co with my friend Paula. It was not like going to the Farmer's Market in Reno! There were only a couple of venders with produce. One booth had just kettle corn, there were two bread booths, one booth sold Colorado honey, another sold goat cheese & chutneys made in Colorado, another sold beef. Someone was selling crepes of various kinds, while another sold smoothies, another coffee, another soaps, and another music-quite a variety of things. After exploring Golden, we drove thru a winding valley and along the (?) Platte River to Evergreen. We went back to Creekside Winery and had lunch. If you remember, this is the winery we went to for one of our field trips for school. We had just missed the town parade they had for the start of the rodeo there. (I was ok with that, lol!) Evergreen reminds me a lot of Truckee and as I was feeling a little homesick, it seemed the logical place to go. We sat out on their deck. There is a river that runs next to the Winery and the sound is so relaxing. The day was a sunny and the food was fantastic (we shared an antipasto platter and each had a cup of tomato bisque soup). We sipped our wine (a Viognier) and just enjoyed getting out of town and away from studies, even if it was only for the day!
Then it was time to return to reality.
We had a study group this evening at Alta's house. She grilled some halibut and salmon and vegetables and also served baked sweet potatoes. Yum!
There seems like so much more to study this week! But for tonight at least, it's bedtime......
