Went up to Old Highlands this weekend and found a new ice cream store, Sweet Cow on 32nd. A little pricy but the ice cream is great. Had a double with Coffee and Espresso and they where delicious.

Want some good ice cream, go check out Sweet Cow!

I signed up as a volunteer to do this --

-- at the Epic Beer Festival here in Denver next month. Free beer is good!

Had a nice dinner at Highlands Pacific last night. A very flavorful Cioppino and the Catfish with Black-eyed Pea cake and Collard Greens. The Cioppino was the fave of the two. I also tried Longmont's Left Hand Brewing's Polestar Pilsner, which was tasty.

This morning, walked over to Common Grounds for a last cup of coffee before they close this location and move off to 44th.

About a century ago, a new craze gripped the country's health conscious: mastication. Chewing each bite of food precisely 32 times would help people control how much food they consumed -- turning them from gluttons to epicureans -- according to the early 20th-century dietician Horace Fletcher.

So, I've have some Evergood Hot Link Sausages that where given to me. Out of curiosity I checked out the nutrition facts on the back of the package. A serving has 14g of total fat.
