My brother-in-law, a Denver dad of two and owner of In Season Local Markets, eats only from his own market and blogs about it at the link above. All of the food is from a 250-mile radius, it’s all ethically grown and traceable, most (all?) of it is organic, and a lot of it is gluten-free. Eating only seasonal food from the Denver area obviously poses some challenges.

Read because: His kids are cute (okay, I’m biased), there are good food ideas, and he’s just funny. And you can always make fun of his spelling. 

Check it out, even if you aren’t from CO!

I think I found my new hobby.

Cooking through this list of recipes. You should click that link now, and don’t miss the “Savouries” section, that I might have to start with. Hat tip Allerson.

A martini bar that looks quite refreshing.

I could use one. Thanks. From Sunday Suppers.

Homesick (or beachsick?) googling.

Frankly, Google is genius for reading my mind and putting this together.

This multimedia message was downright mean, Allison.

She found a replacement for a Savage’s St. Patrick’s Day sugar cookie. I have yet to find one. Maybe I’ll go check in Starbucks, just in case.

Paris, 1962 by the late Tom Palumbo.

The best set on Flickr I have ever come across. I love when professionals’ work is available online.

Market aspirations for In Season.

The market’s shelves, fully stocked.

Artisan bread made from locally grown wheat flour. Peach cider that, let me tell you, tastes delicious mixed with bourbon. From The Weekly Veggie’s coverage of In Season. I can’t wait to get back to Denver!

What I did with my weekend in Denver.

Helped my brother in law open his local market! I am so proud of how the opening went, and I am so glad we got to eat some of the food on sale for dinner. It was GOOD. Have you tried Lion’s Mane mushrooms? You should, immediately.

Missing Denver already. How much does a market clerk make? I could probably subsist.

Thanks to Jen for snapping the pic, we all know that Lady GaGa went to Kuma’s yesterday.  Love it.  A year ago this became one of my favorite places :)

(too bad the service sucks and the wait is horrible)

Wonder if they’ll name a burger after her?

Kuma plus Gaga would make me a pretty happy person.
