Keystone

Went up to Keystone with a co-worker. It was actually a pretty warm day for the end of February. The conditions were decent - a few icy patches.

Winter Park

I went up to Winter Park with a few co-workers. It's nice to go up to the mountains in the middle of the week with no traffic. It was a beautiful sunny day. I will say that Winter Park is not the place to snowboard unless you plan to be on the black slopes all day. The greens are nearly all flat. Even the blues go into flat greens.

Julia Child's Night

In August, Joan, Ellen and I saw the movie Julie & Julia. After seeing the wonderful dishes made in the movie, we decided to have a Julia Child's night. Joan made the infamous Boeuf Bourguignon which was delicious. I attempted to make the almond chocolate cake. At first I thought it didn't rise correctly, but after looking at pictures on the web, it's a pretty flat cake. Ellen decided to make bread although got the recipe online since there aren't any in the original cookbook. She ended up buying it after an attempt at making it ended up in the trash.
