rowing up in the flatlands of the midwest, Colorado ski trips were always a highlight for me. While I loved my home town of Kansas City (Go Royals), the last few days of the vacation were always tough because I was never ready to leave Colorado.

Upon college graduation, one of my best friends, Scott, immediately packed his Ford Bronco and bolted for Vail, Colorado. Knowing my parents would not be quite as stoked on this idea as I was, I did what a good college grad should do and took a low paying, chew em' up, spit em' out entry level corporate job. Scott would often call me as his night was winding down, and my morning commute was starting.

Heather Shoning | HShoning@LifestylePubs.com

Needless to say, my tenure in the healthcare staffing industry was a short one. That February, I informed my folks that I was heading to the mountains to get some skiing in and visit my old pal Scott. I withheld a few details. I was going to Vail, and I was not coming back until the lifts stopped turning in April.

My first stop in town was the Vail Resorts employment office. There was no way I was going to fill my parents in on my extended spring break until I had employment. By this mid-way point in the ski season, there were enough lift operators who had flaked out and I was hired. Those three months turned into three years. I can still remember turn by turn of some of my most memorable powder days. If you know, you just know. There isn't anything like it.

Around Town HIGH SCHOOL FAIR SET FOR NOVEMBER 5TH Boulder Country Day will host a High School Fair for Boulder County 7th and 8th grade students on November 5th. This event is unique in that both St. Vrain and Boulder school districts high schools hold open houses, but neither district holds a district-wide fair. This fair will include public and private high schools from Boulder and surrounding counties, as well as, Colorado- and nationally-based boarding schools. Student can come and obtain information on a broad range of choices all at one event. Cara Ray, of Climb to College, will also be at the fair to conduct a school fit workshop regarding high school choice.

PUBLIC HEALTH OFFICIALS WARN AGAINST TULAREMIA After an Erie resident was recently diagnosed with tularemia, more commonly known as “rabbit fever,” public health officials recommend the following precautions: Avoid all contact with wild animals such as squirrels and rabbits. If a dead animal must be removed from your yard, use a shovel to place it in a garbage bag, double the bag and place the bag in an outdoor garbage can. Stay out of areas inhabited by wild animals or rodents. The tularemia bacteria can persist in the environment, such as soil and water, for weeks to months. If you must enter areas frequented by wild animals, always wear a repellent that is effective against ticks, biting flies, and mosquitoes and that contains DEET or oil of lemon eucalyptus. Prevent pets from hunting or eating wild rodents or rabbits. Infected pets, such as cats, may transmit the disease to people. Contact a veterinarian if a pet becomes ill.

HISTORIC LOUISVILLE IN MINIATURE

WRITE A NOVEL IN THE MONTH OF NOVEMBER The Louisville Public Library has scheduled a series of weekly writing programs during National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) in November. NaNoWriMo is a fun, seat-of-your-pants approach to creative writing. On November 1, participants begin working towards the goal of writing a 50,000-word novel by 11:59 p.m. on November 30. Anyone interested in accepting the novel-writing challenge is encouraged to ‘Come Write In’ and register at the kick-off meeting at the Library (951 Spruce Street, Louisville, CO 80027) on November 1, from 12-2 p.m. For the next four Wednesdays, the Library will hold meetings where writers can share ideas and support one another.

NaNoWriMo is for anyone who has ever—even fleetingly—thought about writing a novel. For more information, contact Adult Services at 303.335.4820 or ref_desk@louisvilleco.gov.

ERIE COMMONS AND COAL CREEK TRAIL TO BE LINKED The Erie Community Library, Community Park and Community Center in the Erie Commons area will soon be connected to the Coal Creek Trail. After earmarking nearly $300,000 for the improvements, the town set out to have the project designed by Loris and Associates. A final selection for the construction was recently made, awarding the project to Castle Rocks’ 53 Corporation LLC to complete the connector trail for $191,793. The new parking lot at the Leon A Wurl Service Center will serve as the trailhead. The connector will link the paved Erie Commons trail southeast of Bonnell Avenue with the Coal 12

Louisville native Dick DelPizzo built a scale model of historic Louisville, which is on permanent display at the Louisville Historical Museum. The model includes the Louisville Town Hall building, which took more than 30 WHAT to be completed. Through years of research of the town’s history and architecture, DelPizzo pieced together the model of what he suspects the town looked like in the early 1900s, when the town’s population was less than 2,000 people. He conducted personal interviews with residents who would remember the town in that early era. The six-foot model is not yet complete. DelPizzo plans to add 10–15 more buildings including local residences. So far, he has about 1,500 hours into the project.

LOUISVILLE SNUFFS OUT E-CIGARETTES A recently passed ordinance amends the City’s municipal code to include a ban on the use of electronic smoking devices in the same way tobacco cigarettes are restricted. Smoking e-cigarettes and using vapor pens is prohibited within 15 feet of open windows, air intakes and outdoor seating. Louisville joins five other cities in the ban: Durango, Edgewater, Fort Collins, Golden and Lakewood. The ordinance’s definition of smoking now reflects the state definition under the Colorado Clean Indoor Air Act. The maximum fine for smoking in public places remains $300.

Shoes and Brews THE LONGMONT STORE BRINGS TOGETHER SOME RUNNER FAVORITES ARTICLE HEATHER SHONING | PHOTOGRAPHY PROVIDED

R

unning and beer have long gone hand-in-hand, and today they are literally joined under one roof. Shoes and Brews is a running shoe store with an adjacent taproom. And they are serious about both.

In June of 2013, Colin Anderson and Ashlee Velez were on a run together when Colin came up with the idea of starting a business that would bring the pair’s two passions together. They joined with five other interested partners to open Shoes and Brews in July 2014.

“We wanted to create a social place where people could come and be active with friends and family,” Velez says.

To encourage activity, the staff has organized weekly activities.

There’s a social run on Thursday evenings. The course is out and back up to six miles. When runners return, they enjoy half-off drinks and get freebies from sponsors.

Saturdays the store offers assisted long runs with water and nutrition drink stations every couple of miles. The store has paired with Left Hand Brewery to hold a 5K run on November 2. The event starts at Left Hand and finishes at Shoes and Brews.

The sales staff on the shoes side has more than 20 years of running shoe industry experience. They are knowledgeable about the products and can help fit the perfect shoe for you.

They carry brands such as Brooks, Saucony, Pearl Izumi, New Balance and more.

SHOES AND BREWS As for the brews side of things, the 63 S. Pratt Pkwy taproom offers a wide variety of Front Longmont Range beers. The options are always 720.340.4290 changing, but you’re certain to find ShoesBrews.com something to suit your palate.

“You don’t have to be a runner to drink here, and you don’t have to drink to come in and shop for shoes,” Velez says. However, the place attracts a community of runners, beer lovers and the large majority who are both.

Colorado Music Festival and Center for Musical Arts, a Boulder County Gem. You’re never too young or too old to learn to play or sing.

offee. What is it about that wonderous word that has so much comfort wrapped around each letter?

These days, many of us steer clear of the large coffee shops in favor of smaller, independently owned little gems. These baristas can not only tell you the name, the region and farm your beans came from, but also the person who roasted them. We all have our favoraite style of coffee. Personal preferences, as we all know, can sometimes get a little out of hand.

Every cup will taste different because of the bean, the grind, amount used, the temperature, and many other factors. For me, I like it pretty simple. I like a full fat latte plain, or sometimes with a raw sugar. One of the reasons a latte brightens my day, is the beautifully crafted design floating on top. Like many things in life, it all comes down to the experience. As a former Starbucks employee, I cannot say that I have much knowledge about latte art. I can say, however, that I truly apprecate it.

Have you ever looked down and wondered if your barista had a crush on you? Or a secret obsession for ferns? Or just way too much time? This is the world of latte art. Baristas are creating these designs through free pouring and embelishing. Latte artists may be criticized for taking too much time to create these designs, but have also been known to be the best tasting.

“Drinks with latte art taste better because all of the components and ingredients of the espresso drink that come together in harmony. Each one creating synergy with the next for a mouthful of delicate flavors and love”, says Cody Osborn, owner of proper grounds in Lafayette.

Osborn says, “Only when the barista pulls all the pieces of the drink together in a perfect marriage can the magic happen. With the crema, the microfoam, and a couple of well performed wrist motions the espresso drink becomes a canvas for the artist to explore”.

Easy? I think not.

Here in Boulder County we have our fair share of organically gown, handpicked, handcrafted, roasted-on-the-premises, made to order, better-than-national-chain coffee shops to choose from.

Here are a few of our faves:

The Front Rangers’ Spectator Guide

TO THE 2015 FIS ALPINE WORLD SKI CHAMPIONSHIPS VAIL AND BEAVER CREEK FEBRUARY 2–15, 2015 ARTICLE SANDRA HENDERSON

T

he world’s best alpine ski racers are coming to Colorado, and Front Rangers will have the rare chance to experience more than 700 athletes from 70 nations along with the international flair and excitement of a prestigious world sporting event up close — for free. The 2015 FIS Alpine World Ski Championships will take place in Vail and Beaver Creek from February 2–15, 2015.

The biennial alpine ski competition, second in scope and scale only to the Winter Olympics, returns to U.S. snow for only the fourth time in history, and for the third time to Colorado’s Vail Valley (Aspen hosted in 1950, Vail Valley in 1989 and 1999).

WATCHING THE RACES UP CLOSE

Possibly the best part of having the FIS Alpine World Ski Championships at home in Colorado is that the races are free of charge to spectators, unlike championships in Europe. “This is not a ticketed event. If you want to get a great seat, just get up there early,” says Kate Peters, senior marketing and public relations manager for the Vail Valley Foundation, the event’s organizer. “The championships are a two-week-long opportunity for fans from the Boulder area to see as much or as little as they want.”

Photo Jack Affleck

All of the races will take place at Red Tail Stadium in Beaver Creek. The best spot to get swept up in the excitement of the sport’s premier event and get close to the athletes will be the finish area, which will also have multiple giant screens and can be accessed by free shuttle or on snowshoes, skis or a snowboard. Red Tail Stadium will also be the best spot for kids to interact with their heroes.

“What’s really great and unique about the 2015 Championships is that our U.S. Ski Team is performing so well right now. If they continue to be strong, there will be exciting medal ceremonies to watch,” Peters says. “That’s really a pretty unique situation, since it’s such a European-dominated event. At the last Championships held here in Colorado, in 1999, we didn’t even podium.”

Of course, Coloradans will have their very own local stars to root for. “Mikaela Shiffrin is having a peak in her career, and Lindsey Vonn’s comeback is highly anticipated,” Peters says. “Aside from our local athletes, of course, watching Bode Miller ski is always exciting and fun, and Ted Ligety is really strong right now.”

Boulder County Lifestyle | November 2014

The spokesperson expects the downhill races to draw the largest crowds. “It’s an all out speed event, which makes it spectacular to watch.”

Athletes will compete in all five alpine disciplines—downhill, super G, super combined, giant slalom and slalom.

The World Championships Ski School will offer special lesson packages for kids and adults that will include live observations of the races and are designed to help skiers understand their own technique compared to the world-class athletes competing in the Championships. “The Hero” lesson package, for example, places emphasis on race fundamentals for children ages seven to teen.

IT’S A PARTY—CEREMONIES, CONCERTS, CULINARY EVENTS

While Beaver Creek will be Race Central, Vail will host evening festivities, including opening ceremonies and nightly medal presentations (in total, 30 individual and 18 Nations Team medals). “The two weeks during the races are truly the best time to be in the Vail/Beaver Creek area, not just to watch the ski races,” Peters says. “Our goal is to have one fantastic piece of entertainment every evening during the races; and a lot of it is free.” The entertainment program will feature concerts, artistic performances, films, art exhibits and culinary events.

Avon, at the base of Beaver Creek, will host post-race activities before crowds head to Vail for the evening. Each day from 2–5:30 p.m., Après Avon will be a street fair of live music, craft brews and distilled tastings, and visits by the 2015 mascots. Après Avon will also be another opportunity for fans to meet racers.

What’s more, spectators will be able to celebrate athletes and their home countries at the heated International Experience Celebration tent located in the center of Beaver Creek Village, where every afternoon a different country or region participating in the races will showcase cultural food, beverages and entertainment.

“In addition to the International Experience Celebration tent, après will be lively at the Coyote Café, Beaver Creek Chophouse, Toscanini Restaurant, Dusty Boot and there will be many places in Vail, too,” anticipates Jen Brown, Vail Resorts’ representative for Beaver Creek.

SKIING WHILE IN VAIL/BEAVER CREEK

Front Rangers won’t have to leave their own gear at home when visiting the Vail Valley to view the ski races. Ninety-eight percent of the terrain in Vail and in Beaver Creek will be open to recreational skiers and snowboarders.

WHERE TO STAY

The close proximity of the upcoming World Ski Championships offers locals the option to make an action-packed day trip out of watching a race or two. However, for visitors who want to stay longer and take in the full program, including evening festivities, the Vail Valley offers a wide variety of lodging options, from luxury hotels to cozy bed and breakfast inns. “It’s an off-peak time period, and if you’re planning to come, book now,” encourages Brown. Call the Vail Valley Foundation at 970.777.2015 for event-specific packages hotels are already offering.

GETTING AROUND

“We want to clear up this myth among Front Rangers that this is going to be a crowded event to stay as far away from as possible,” Peters says. “We want people to feel like they can drive up and have a great experience during the Championships and move around the Valley freely and for free with the shuttles.”

The same parking lots day-trippers know from skiing at Vail and Beaver Creek will be available during the World Ski Championships.

Brown sums up why the 2015 World Ski Championships in Vail/ Beaver Creek will be a winter highlight for Coloradans: “The time period is off-peak and what better way to celebrate ski racing and see the best in the world right in our backyard.”

Boulder County Nordic YOUR GUIDE TO LOCAL NORDIC ADVENTURE ARTICLE JULES MARIE | PHOTO COURTESY OF ZEAL OPTICS

I

f you are blessed to be able to walk from your backyard into the beautiful open spaces in and around Boulder County, you can traverse endless miles of snowy terrain for hours on your cross-country skis or snowshoes. Otherwise, a quick bus or car ride will have you at a trailhead in no time where an abundance of Nordic ski options await.

It’s no surprise that Colorado’s ski resorts, once home only to downhill skiers, are experiencing a surge in the popularity of snowshoeing, skate skiing and cross country skiing—sports once relegated to the quiet backcountry. Many resorts have added Nordic centers offering groomed trails, lessons, equipment rentals and that delicious hot chocolate everyone hates to love. Outdoor sports enthusiasts are flocking to the snowy trails to enjoy serene forests, pure white alpine meadows and elegant mountain backdrops.

By now you’ve probably heard that Louisville might be one of the best cities to live in America. Could it be the seemingly thousands of miles of open space surrounding this tiny hamlet of 19,000 people that attracts visitors? Bikers and runner abound on the endless maze of trails until the snow hits and cross-country skiers and snowshoe lovers of all ages flock to the trails. Traffic-free and easily accessible, open space anywhere is an ideal ski option.

Here are a few Nordic options around Boulder County.

Boulder County Lifestyle | November 2014

Boulder County Trails If you’re looking for an off-the-beaten-path experience, look no further than your local mountain parks and check out the Lichen Loop Trail at Heil Valley Ranch, Bummer’s Rock Trail at Betasso Preserve or Myers Homestead Trail at Walker Ranch; all local, easily accessible and all completely free. A quick Internet search will reveal many more miles of private, mostly unchartered terrain. No car? No problem; you can’t beat the skiing in north Boulder Park or around CU’s south Boulder campus.

Eldorado Canyon State Park Located right in our backyard, Eldorado offers world-class rock climbing as well as some stellar cross-country skiing and snowshoeing right in town. After a heavy snowfall, visitors can be seen shoeing along the road and on Fowler Trail. Though some recommend Rattlesnake Trail, skip it unless you’re a serious adventurer and can handle an excessive elevation gain. Many state parks close in the winter providing skiers with excellent flat roads to practice on.

Eldora Mountain Resort Eldora may be the go-to place for family-fun, proximity and relatively low cost for downhill skiing but did you know they boast a Nordic Center with over 40 kilometers of cross-country trails? The Nordic Center is home to all things cross-country, skate skiing and snowshoeing and here’s a bonus—RTD offers ski-and-ride bus service between Boulder and Eldora. This very close and kid-friendly resort offers various programs, passes and prices for all ages and abilities.

Nederland Consider visiting Lost Lake in Nederland, an ideal area for any level skier or snowshoer who wants to enjoy the beauty of a high-elevation mountain lake without losing their breath. Or consider the 4th of July Road to Buckingham Campground nestled in the midst of Indian Peaks and offering a rare chance to spot bighorn sheep.

Ned is also home to Caribou Ranch Open Space and Mud Lake both offering excellent Nordic skiing. The Blue Bird and DeLonde Trails snake along wetlands, streams and forests. Elk and moose have been spotted on the ranch and the trail is bathed in thickets of snow-laden trees.

Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests It’s no surprise that some of the best trails are located within the U.S. Forest Service land. Located a few miles west of Boulder, a plethora of forest trails can be found, particularly around the Brainard Lake Recreation Area and throughout the vast Indian Peaks Wilderness. Brainard has three particularly good winter-use trails; CMC Ski Trail and Little Raven for all single track skiers and The Snowshoe Trail for snowshoes only.

Weather, road and trail conditions change in a second so check conditions prior to embarking on a winter adventure. And, if you find you love the freedom of cross-country skiing or snowshoeing, consider joining a local group and ski/skate/shoe for the fun of it.

For more information on local Nordic trails, visit FS.USDA.gov and Eldora.com

Boulderites are notorious for doing everything with their dogs.

When you head out for some winter fun with your pup, be sure to keep them protected and warm with a coat from MountainMutt.

The Power Shield Coat from MountainMutt is at the top of the line in its category of soft shells for outside activity. Most importantly it has a heat exchange rating of 1.4, which means it’s designed to keep the body’s core temperature stable. Power Shield has cells which expand and contract based on how much heat the body is generating. It’s also extremely water and wind resistant.

The benefit of MountainMutt coats is that they’re designed for the dog’s comfort and warmth. They are constructed from top quality fabrics, the same ones worn by human athletes. The coats are generously cut and have a lot of adjustment for individual body shapes. Because the coats are handmade in Colorado they can easily be altered to fit your pet correctly. They make custom coats for harder-to-fit dogs. No seams or Velcro touch sensitive places on the dog’s body; there are no seams along the spine. The draped coats are made longer in the back to cover thighs and upper legs on short-haired dogs. All coats have collars to protect sensitive necks. They also make snoods to cover heads and especially cropped ears.

Open House

Serenity and Safety in Niwot ARTICLE DELL BLEEKMAN | PHOTOGRAPHY ROB LARSON

T

he charming town of Niwot owes its name to Chief Niwot, a greatly respected Arapahoe Indian leader whose tribe lived just three miles west of the present village. With high-performing schools, an historic old town with locally-owned shops, and close proximity to Boulder, Niwot has long been on the radar for those seeking a small-town feel in Boulder County. Niwot is also home to Goldbranch, a luxurious residential development that aims to bring the look and feel of Tuscany to the Front Range.

curity company. “Our residents want a turn-key experience with complete peace of mind,” Temaat explains.

Temaat, a bit of a Renaissance man—he collects vintage cars, repairs classic cars and plays piano at weddings—had been with RE/MAX of Boulder for 20 years. He feels Goldbranch is something special. “I talk about this community everywhere I go,” he says. And given that Goldbranch may be one of the last subdivisions allowed in Niwot, demand is almost certain to rise.

FROM INSPIRATION TO REALITY

CASA BRUNELLA

The builders behind Goldbranch set out to evoke an old-world Tuscan look, using the finest building materials available. The resulting homes, clad in stone, accented with soft natural hues and dark wood trim and topped with tile, look perfectly at home in the rolling hills of Boulder County.

Pat Temaat is the listing agent at Goldbranch. He has half- and full-acre lots for those looking to build their own custom home, and is currently representing the owner of a stunning estate on a gently sloping and expansive lot. “There may be more expensive homes in Niwot” he explains, “but none with this level of workmanship, attention to detail and use of labor-intensive materials.”

Goldbranch is also a secure community with many cameras throughout the development monitored by a Boulder-based se-

Temaat’s current Goldbranch listing is Casa Brunella. Built five years ago, this 8,250 sq. ft. home has been lovingly maintained by its owner. It’s truly emblematic of rural Mediterranean architecture, executed to the highest of standards.

A COUNTRY KITCHEN

The kitchen, expansive and open, is the joyful heart of the house. With distressed wood cabinets, honey-yellow tile and smooth granite countertops, the kitchen is as delightful as it is functional. Exposed beams, wide plank floors, a large breakfast nook and windows that flood the room with natural light complement the room perfectly.

The main level, with its handsomely proportioned rooms,

UPPER AND LOWER

The upstairs master suite has its own fireplace and balcony; the vaulted ceiling and two sets of French doors provide a sense of openness that allows for a splendid mix of the indoors and out.

There are two additional upper level bedrooms as well, each with private bath. Panoramic views of the Front Range are throughout.

The finished lower level contains another two bedrooms, recreation area and formal bar. With high ceilings and subtle recessed lighting the entire floor exudes comfort.

A MANICURED EXTERIOR

allows for easy flow thanks to an open floor plan. The large family room, for example, is in easy sight line with the kitchen as only a polished granite bar separates the two. A large office opens to the courtyard.

Casa Brunella, situated comfortably on a half-acre lot, opens to a riparian corridor where local residents include hawks, foxes and other wildlife. Outdoor entertaining possibilities abound with the spacious interior courtyard, punctuated by a large circular granite fountain. With a fully landscaped backyard and lovely stone retaining walls, this is the perfect home for gatherings inside and out.

This home boasts an immaculate attention to detail; interior walls have a hand-rubbed finish that mimics the aged plaster walls of Tuscan farmhouses. The use of natural materials—stone, travertine, and granite—is abundant. It is, quite simply, a discriminating property for a discriminating buyer.

Casa Brunella is offered at $2.895 million. For information on this or any Goldbranch property, please call Pat Temaat at 303.652.0150.

Healthy Lifestyle

A

s a food lover, wine drinker, dark chocolate addict, and coffee connoisseur, I would not catagorize myself as a good "cleansing" canadiate.

Not to mention I don't have a much self control when placed anywhere near a basket of french fries.

I have attempted several different types of cleanses methods in the past but for one reason or another I always wimp out. Whatever seems to be trending at the time, I typically don't last more than two days. Pathetic, i know.

The biggest reason being, I'm a rebel at heart. When you tell me I can't eat or drink something, that is all I think about. Being a competitive person, the Conscious Cleanse was very attractive to me as you are cleansing with a group at the same time.

When I first met Jo and Julie, founders of the Conscious Cleanse, I fell in love with their story. As health ge-

Cleansing Consciously DETOX YOUR BODY.MIND.SOUL. Eat well, feel good, be happy.

Learn more at ConsciousCleanse.com or sign up for their New Year, New You cleanse starting Jan. 17, 2015. Sign up for free email updates and download a copy of their free e-cookbook, A Taste of the Conscious Cleanse.

MYTH 1: I WILL BE STARVING ALL THE TIME!

MYTH 2: I DON’T HAVE THE TIME FOR A CLEANSE.

TRUTH: The Conscious Cleanse is a whole foods based cleanse, filled with an array of choices. This includes veggies, fruits, nuts, seeds, non-gluten grains (like brown rice and quinoa) beans, legumes, and organic lean cuts of meat, wild game and fish. Wow! True nourishment is the end goal. No starving allowed! You can have everything you want–ideal body weight, boundless energy, and mental clarity–simply by giving your body real food.

TRUTH: We all have incredibly busy and full lives.

The Conscious Cleanse is about slowing down and making your health a priority over the course of the 14-day journey. You may think you’ll have to spend hours on end in the kitchen, but we’ve specifically designed the program for real people who have full-time jobs and real-life commitments.

MYTH 3: I WILL FEEL TERRIBLE AND HAVE NO ENERGY. TRUTH: The heart of the Conscious Cleanse is the idea that you begin to wake up to life, to how you’re feeing, to where you are going, unconscious in your habitual choices. Society is full of ideas for dealing with detox. More rest, more water, taking a hot Epsom salt bath or getting a massage can help your body speed up the detoxification process. After the initial detoxification phase, you will undoubtedly shock yourself with how much energy you have– without the use of any stimulants or caffeine.

niuses and coaches, their approach is more about mindfulness rather than depravation. The 14-day, whole food cleanse is more about listening to your body than a diet. Participants are challenged to view their food as medicine.

Support through the team comes from daily inspirational emails, as well as a slue of delish recipies included in the back of their book.

I may have cheated once, (or twice) but the girls are quick to communicate that it's about "being human", not being perfect. I honestly felt amanzing after the 14 days. My skin was more clear, I was a few pounds lighter, and most exciting was my extremely high energy level. I will most definitely be a repeat cleanser!

What's Cooking?

A Stew Reborn GRAM’S BEEF STEW GETS A BOULDER MAKEOVER ARTICLE MISTY LEBOWITZ

A

t my house, fall is the start to my favorite food time of year. Everyone gets excited as the leaves begin to change, and I reroute from light healthy summer menus to warm, mouthwatering, comforting foods for cold weather and most i mportantly football Sundays. One very special recipe that keeps everyone coming back for more is beef stew in a red wine reduction served with a nice crusty loaf.

Now, when Grams first taught me this recipe back in 1987 she used much different ingredients. Lots of lard, boneless beef short ribs and no wine. Today, I am going to show you how over the years I took a good family recipe, did some research on Julia Child, tried a few experiments and then gave it some Colorado personality. I have swapped out the beef for some local, lean bison and added some delicious cabernet sauvignon from the Boulder Creek Winery.

INGREDIENTS

• 1 tablespoon butter – good quality unsalted butter is preferred • 2 tablespoons olive oil • 2 pounds trimmed bison, cut into 8 pieces • Large pinch Salt • Freshly ground black pepper (I use a mixture of black, pink, and red peppercorns) • 1 cup finely chopped onion • 1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour • One 750-milliliter bottle dry red wine – I prefer Cabernet Sauvignon (this time I am using a nice bottle from the Boulder Creek Winery, but you can use any sort of dry red wine. Different wines will produce different depths of flavors, it really is a matter of preference) • 2 bay leaves 26

Boulder County Lifestyle | November 2014

• 1 thyme sprig • 6 ounce slab of bacon, (Pancetta is a nice touch if you have it available; if so remove rind) • 15 small cipollini/pearl onions, peeled • 15 baby carrots, peeled (thick carrots work better than carrot sticks) • Large pinch sugar TIP: For those of you who are used to making a beef stew by cooking the protein and vegetables at the same time, this recipe may seem strange. However, I find that cooking them together tends to leave the vegetables mushy and really changes the texture of the stew. So, I like to first braise the bison in the red wine until a nice, rich sauce develops. Once the sauce is to my desired consistency, I then add the vegetables, allowing them to soak in the flavors as the bison tenderizes. Give it a shot. I promise it’s worth the extra effort!

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 350° In a large Dutch oven or heavy bottom pot–oven appropriate–melt the butter in one tablespoon of olive oil. Position bison in a single layer at the bottom of pot and season with salt and pepper to preference. Cook over medium-high heat (the pan should sizzle when you add the bison), turning occasionally until browned on all sides, about eight minutes.

Add the chopped onion and garlic. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened, about five minutes. Add the flour and stir to coat the bison. Add the wine, bay leaves and thyme, season with salt and pepper and bring to a boil. Make sure to stir to dissolve any delicious brown bits trapped to the bottom of the pot!

Cover the pot and carefully transfer to oven. Cook the stew for 1 1/2 hours until the bison is tender and the sauce is savory.

Meanwhile, in a saucepan, cover the bacon with two cups of water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 30 minutes. Drain the bacon and cut into one inch slices.

In a large skillet, combine the bacon, cipollini onions and carrots. Add the remaining one tablespoon of olive oil, 1/4 cup of water and a large pinch each of sugar, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Cover and reduce heat to simmer until almost all of the water has evaporated, about 15 minutes.

Uncover and cook over high heat, tossing until the vegetables are tender and nicely browned, about 4 minutes.

Stir some of the vegetables and bacon strips into the stew and scatter the rest on top as a garnish. Top with a little chopped parsley and serve.

Parting Thoughts

Adolescent Lesson NO ONE LIKES A SHOW OFF WORDS JORDAN LEBOWITZ

A

s snow begins to cap the backdrop to all of our lives, camping gear is packed away and cold weather sports are here to stay…for a long time!

But we embrace the cold for every bit of fun there is to have.

I grew up outside of Baltimore in Maryland, and the ski resort we would visit is just over the Pennsylvania line. Having now experienced true grandeur by way of the Rockies, the slopes I used to know seem like biggish hills. Nonetheless, mountains big or small, hitting the slopes is always an experience that will hold you in the present and often creates memories that you’ll always cherish.

My teenage years aligned perfectly with the snowboarding movement. Skiers everywhere were losing the battle to keep boards off of slopes. I switched skis for a board and never went back. Lucky for my 13-year-old self, a lot of girls were making the switch as well.

Let me explain.

A ski shop across the street from my middle school would bus local kids to a resort every Saturday for one month during the winter.

My parents were good enough to allow me the privilege to go on these trips. Girls from school had parents that were good enough to allow them to go as well. These girls were also making the transition from skiing to snowboarding and needed help.

“Help you say, why I can teach you, it would be my pleasure,” is about what I said in seventh grade.

I would ride the lift with a group of girls and give them pointers as we slowly made our way down the trail. The true novices would even request a helping hand to get on their feet. This quickly gave me a reputation among the girls at school. A reputation I enjoyed (i.e. sweet, helpful, patient).

My “generosity” was paying off nicely until one Saturday, on the way down a trail, we passed by the freestyle board park.

One girl said, “hey, you’re always so nice going slow to stay behind us and help when we fall. Why don’t you do this and we will watch?”

To which I idiotically respond, “cool, I’ll hit that big jump real quick.”

I was a good snowboarder at the time, just not that good. The jump I assuredly proclaimed to “hit” was the largest one at the bottom of the course that every decent freestyle park would have.

I make my way down the course towards the big air jump. Now, I’m not so lame as to slowly approach the jump and just kind of ride over it in a weak attempt to save face and not risk a bad fall.

I carve once or twice to balance my take-off and I lift-off with decent form. I over-rotate and land on my back edge, causing my body to immediately slam backwards on the hard, icy landing at the base of the jump. I lay there for a minute. Normally, I would pop right up worried about being tough in front of the girls. This time getting up before I was ready never even crossed my mind.

I won’t speculate about the possibility that I may have sustained a concussion, but after slowly making my way down to the lodge, the rest of my day was spent inside recovering. On the bus ride home someone asked me what happened to the back of my ear, to which I had no idea. Upon inspection I discovered that my icy landing had scraped all of the skin off and it was now just dry blood.

Yes, this time I learned my lesson!

No one likes a show off, and now I didn’t either.
