Tonight, I did Korean. Bibim Bap to be specific. I made Kimchi earlier in the week - which was fun. A little tricky - I'll have to edit my recipe for next time. But I will definitely make it again.

Korean Cooking
With all my time off, I have taken up extravagant cooking in addition to all my other extracurricular activities.

To the Top
My mom and I hiked the Royal Arch today. It's a classic Boulder hike, and yet, one neither of us have done (I am making headway on ticking off everything on that list - I will be doing the Bolder Boulder this year).
Anyway, David had hiked this several times, mostly in the dark. Yes. It's a killer place to watch the sun rise. It's also a killer hike. It's only a mile, but it has an altitude gain of 1200ft. And since we did it in January, there was a lot of ice on the trail - for added challenge you know. I am not ashamed to admit I came down a significant part of the trail on my butt. It may have been a Tuesday, but we passed at least 20-25 people doing the hike. 3 of them were running. One of the runners had a killer pair of shoes... I never found out what they were...
Anyway, we're planning for next Tuesday - I found a nice 3.5 mile hike in south Boulder. The book says there is an altitude gain of 3000 ft. Watch me kill it.

Fancy Cheese Me, Please
It's 2am. 2:11 to be exact.
And the club across the street is thumpin' like there's no tomorrow.
Living in downtown Denver is L O U D. Sirens, base, screaming... decorate our evenings... and mornings. Normally I wouldn't tolerate such exhausting living conditions... but we've already found 6 killer restaurants WITHIN SINGLE BLOCK OF OUR LOFT. ALL WITH DRINK MENUS. AND HAPPY HOURS. HAPPY HOURS ARE JUST SO HAPPY.
Yesterday I had an avocado piña colada with bubble pearls and some soup dumplings - soup dumplings filled with a delectible french onion Gruyère soup. TO DIE FOR. It was 9 pm on a Friday night, and it was still happy hour. No shit, 9pm on a Friday night is still happy hour in LoDo.
BRING ON THE GRUYèRE!

A nice texture
So our kitten (who honestly, is no longer a kitten) just made that creepy "baby sound" yowl cats are somehow capable of. And since she's not vocal to begin with, it's even creepier...
David and I come to peek at her to make sure she's not dieing, and we find her doing the vomit hump in the middle of the hallway - where she proceeds to hack up two, two, rubber bands.
Special needs little lady, special needs.

The Big Leagues
Yesterday I turned 29.
Today I drove to the grocery store all by myself.
Happy Birthday Jen! You're such an adult!

Dead Things
It's 10 degrees outside. My dad and I drove out to pickup shot and gunpowder so we could spend the afternoon reloading 12guage shotgun shells.

Sitting in Snow
So were spending our second night in Nebraska. Wasn't our plan, but a wee snow storm has made I80 troublesome. So we gave up around Grand Island.
We were sitting down to breakfast when it started snowing outside. With coffees in hand we listed to the surrounding conversations. One: most people were lamenting having to start their Christmas shopping. Two: nobody was mentioning the weather.
It's good to be back.
