Austin: Manuary Party for the Men

I have never heard of this Manuary idea, but as men are occasionally left out here at this blog (you may like my fashion posts a smidge less than the other fabulous things I write), I feel obligated to post. Plus I really like Dulce Vida tequila. Sabia, Criquet Apparel, and Dulce Vida Tequila would…

Recipe: Cabbage Soup

This is the best cabbage soup ever. Not that I’ve had a lot of cabbage soup. But it is LEGIT!! It has lots of dairy, so if you are a non-dairy Paleo, you can stop reading. As usual, I started somewhere with someone else’s recipe and modified it like crazy for what I have in…

Aspen: BB’s Kitchen [updated]

BB’s Kitchen is Aspen’s newest top-floor establishment, and what a rooftop it is! It’s more like a complex: BB’s restaurant at the top of the stairs on Cooper Street, the BB’s lounge to your left, and a huge deck for sunning–when it isn’t snowing (it’s not open yet). The Vermonster and I were lucky enough…

Around the Fitness Horn: FOOD

My interest in food and diet waxes and wanes, some days I’m all about paleo, others I’m more about moderation. I’m working on an article about cleansing, and discovering some interesting things. Will post it when it’s written. In the meantime, check out these: The Road to Digestive Health Continues (More things that might be…
