alarm clocks aside, we stopped in for breakfast with friends at Snooze Southglenn during our vacation.  An ‘AM Eatery‘ devoted to high energy creative breakfast dishes that highlights the mighty pancake.  They have a creative breakfast menu and I really wanted something other than pancakes but couldn’t quite resist at least trying them.  I had a flight of pancakes that included sweet potato (light and fluffy, by far my favorite), the blue mesa (blue corn with corn inside and chile maple syrup) and the daily special of toffee bacon which was filled with – toffee and bacon (overly sweet for me).  I had a cup of their specially sourced Guatemalan coffee and found it to be a bit week.  Z had lovely breakfast pot pie of puff pastry filled with rosemary sausage gravy (I am going to figure this out… I swear it) and scrambled eggs with a pretty side of nondescript hash browns.  While I wished I would have had eggs our time with our friends was sweet.

weird green powder freaks me out.

there are sure a lot of bland looking bowls of noodles on this blog.  Z’s favorite food is basically buttered egg noodles with tube cheese.  Not so high falutin’.  Just got home from a summer vacation wedding trip to Denver.  We arrived Monday evening and after dropping our rings off for some love at Shane Co. stopped in at Noodles & Co for Z’s favorite dish.  It pains me to spend $5.35 on a bowl of noodles.  But I did.  I got the Wisconsin Macaroni and Cheese which wasn’t the best ever but was a trip down memory lane.
*I have a texture in food thing and do not stir my noodles.  Don’t do it for me or I will be less happy.

I have a small core staff of year round, all the time, come in every day staff. They are all really committed to the work of Bible translation and are the front porch welcome for the visitors center at Wycliffe. We inform, inspire and involve people towards partnering with Wycliffe in multiple ways. Since we took the plunge and bought the house they wanted to come over and bless us with a little bit of dinner. I being me, had to have a piece of that and turned into a regional Mexican fiesta! The rain poured and lighting and thunder roared and we had a fun night with street tacos, bacon and tomato guacamole. The guests outdid themselves as well bringing chips, hot sauce, limeade and tea, flan and homemade ice cream. Quite the spread and we really were blessed to have them join us.

we like, even relish, trying new things. Z likes to read up on stuff and find all the parts and pieces and forge ahead trying things once, twice… or until I freak out.  We tried out a new David Rocco recipe because it seemed intriguing. It is called pasta Anto-te and you can find the recipe at the link. It had a few new to us items in a pasta dish and one was pistachio – yum, right? The other was rose water. Not so much really. It called for three tablespoons, which in some cases, like oh, parmesan or olive oil would be sublime.
Rose water belongs elsewhere. In the garden or behind your ears or something. Every bite was as floral as the last and by the end. Well, I didn’t get to the end of my bowl. I think the pistachio could deserve another chance but if anyone wants rose water – I have a slightly used bottle.
