Did you see it???????

So as most of you know, yesterday I got the fantastic opportunity to do a cooking demo on "Everyday" here in Denver and I can't say enough thank yous to all the people who wished me well beforehand, but especially to everyone who sent me such nice messages after the show.  It was incredibly fun for me, and something I really love to do.  I hope there will be more opportunities like that in the future.  (If you didn't get a chance to see it, it is posted on the home page of this website, so go check it out!!!)   After the show yesterday morning, a great weekend continues.  Last night was First Friday in the Santa Fe Art District where their was a celebration of Andy Warhol's birthday.  There was the opportunity to get your picture taken wearing the infamous Andy Warhol wig and sunglasses.  I passed.  After that, a great dinner at The Avenue Grill....dirty martini with bleu cheese stuffed olives and Lo Mein.  This morning, the celebration continued with brunch at Bistro Vendome in Larimer Square.  I can't believe I have lived in Denver for 3 years and this was my first visit.  There were at least 10 things on the brunch menu I wanted to try.  I settled (although settled isn't really the right word), I decided (that's better) to have the classic french Croque Madame.  It was served with french fries (or should I say pomme frites).  As you know, if you are a follower of this blog, there are no pomme frites that can stand up to those served at Balthazar in NYC, these didn't match up either HOWEVER, these have a place all their own.  There is a slight hint of sweetness to the fries, which I find really delicious.  I also had an amazing french press coffee.  Sitting outside on the patio under the trees, it really was a perfect summer morning.  Now, back to reality.  As some of you may already know I am moving out of my apartment next month, and with my schedule in full blown mode, I am faced with the dreaded task of packing.....I won't have many opportunities to get it all done between now and the time I move, so I have sequestered myself to the task at hand.  That doesn't mean that I haven't strayed a bit.  So far this afternoon, in an attempt to avoid the inevitable (and use up some aging lemons) I have made a lemon yogurt cake and 4 bars of lemon soap.  Ridiculous I know, making soap when I have all this other stuff to do, but it's what gets me through the day....Have a good weekend. 

I'll share a couple pictures from last nights Art Walk......
