A Night Out

We took a break from the Olympics tonight and, like the good Americans that we are, went out to eat! We went to one of my favorite local neighborhood spots, Shells & Sauce.

We sat outside and could feel the heat dissipate as the cool evening air blew through. In Denver we only have a few more weeks of the heat; already there are "break days" of cooler temps in between the days of 90 (or higher) degrees.

These mozzarella sticks were the size of Twinkies. We were not complaining. But that was a lot of cheese.

My salad was out of this world and perfect for a summer night. Those are grilled peaches (tasty, tasty char!) topped with goat cheese. The arugula salad was tossed in raspberry vinaigrette and was served, as you can see, with onions, prosciutto ham, and pine nuts.

A few crispy Brussels sprouts, too...

After a leisurely dinner and dessert, we walked around Barnes & Noble, saw a few books we couldn't resist, and then came home to this one and the Olympics.

I'll give you all my King Sooper's coupons to lesson plan for me.

That is all.
