LIFESTYLE LETTER

EDITOR

Feelings, Fall, Food & Fun Things Welcome Fall!

With the changing seasons comes a change in what we are craving, and with fall that often means comforts of family, friends and food-filled activities. Our October Issue is filled with our favorite activities which include eating and drinking at fantastic restaurants and breweries, exploring nature trails, tailgating with friends, carving pumpkins, creating new recipes, and learning more about the amazing people in our community.

Creating this issue reminded me that food is present in most memorable events, whether you think about it or not. Why does this food that you eat at a party, or any social event cause you to produce memories from your past and create new ones to remember in the future? We all think of food as this simple and delicious thing, yet it is so much more. Food activates portions of the brain and causes you to feel a plethora of emotions. It also acts as a time machine and as you take that first bite of your favorite meal, you are immediately brought back to your past.

Food is much more powerful than we think, and we must not take it for granted just as we shouldn’t take hospitality for granted. The hospitality one receives during social events, gathering at a dinner table or at a restaurant lives within us as much as a flavorful dish satisfies our taste buds.

This issue means so much to me because each person involved and part of this issue extends, lives, and breathes hospitality into everything they do. I couldn’t have been more excited to be part of the genuine connections made. There is an art to creating hospitality, great food, and social events. But what I’ve come to realize is the main ingredient is love what you do and love sharing that with others.

As always, thanks for reading, and I look forward to seeing you around town!

Identifying and Choosing the Best Types of Pumpkins ARTICLE BY GLENNA HOPE | PHOTOGRAPHY BY SUNRIA MOSES

October is a beautiful time of year and one that is synonymous with pumpkins. When you think about pumpkins this time of year, generally there are two basic purposes. One of those purposes is for eating and the other is for decorating. This seasonal crop of delight is grown in wide varieties, and each type of pumpkin has reasons to celebrate.

FOR EATING: Pink Lady Its light-textured, deep orange flesh is sweet and excellent in pureed soups or baked into pies, bread and muffins.

Blue Jarrahdale This blue pumpkin with golden-orange flesh is fine-textured and sweet. It’s good for making pies and soups.

Buckskin Used by some commercial processors for canned pumpkins, it’s perfect in pies.

Fairytale Fairytale pumpkin is one of the best varieties for cooking.

The fine texture and thick flesh make it a good substitute for butternut squash.

Galeux d’Eysines The skin is a beautiful salmon pink with warts that look like peanut shells. It’s great in soups and the scent is reminiscent of sweet potatoes and apples.

FOR DÉCOR: Mini Hybrid Usually used for decorating, they also make cute little serving vessels for soups.

Iron Man Thanks to its toughness and smooth hard shell, this variety it’s just right for painting.

Cotton Candy This bright white pumpkin—even the flesh is white—has a smooth, glossy skin that lends itself to be painted or carved.

White Mini Jack Use this little white gourd as you would any mini hybrid pumpkin.

FOR BOTH: Orange Kabocha The stripes and bumps on kabocha squash make it decorative. Use its sweet and slightly nutty flesh in any of the ways you would a hard winter squash.

Silver Moon A silver moon pumpkin is spectacular when carved. It also makes wonderful puree for pies, and is loaded with highly snackable seeds.

Though the mountainous state isn’t known for its fruit production, you’d be surprised at the hidden gems you can find throughout the region.

Growing up in Colorado, my family created many amazing traditions that I continue to share with my children today. Yet there still has been a lingering adventure to be experienced. I have always wanted to spend a day with my family apple picking in an orchard.

When the children went back to school a few weeks ago, I started researching and much to my amazement, nestled in and around the Rocky Mountains are the best apple orchards in Colorado. Though the mountainous state isn’t known for its fruit production, you’d be surprised at the hidden gems you can find throughout the region.

If you have had similar dreams to experience this activity with your own family. Please enjoy this curated list of some of the most beloved locations to spend the day loving one of the most classic and nostalgic activities of apple picking.

Spider Vein Removal In Glenwood Springs.

CONSULTATIONS ARE COMPLIMENTARY. At Lifestyle Laser, our Nd-YAG Laser emits flashes of light energy onto the unwanted spider vein. The light energy specifically targets the hemoglobin found in blood while leaving the surrounding skin tissue unharmed.

The blood evaporates upon contact, causing the vessel or vein to collapse and eventually disappear.

O UR TOWN | FOOD + BEVE RAGE

Celebrate National Taco Day ARTICLE BY GLENNA HOPE

In the United States tacos were first mentioned in a 1905 newspaper article. At the time, Mexican immigrants were starting to move to the U.S. for mining and railroad jobs, and they brought their food tastes with them. The rest seems to be history.

We all know the phrase, TACO TUESDAYS, but I am willing to bet that most people don’t save taco eating just for Tuesdays. With National Taco Day on October 4th and with so many local options, it’s easy to celebrate tacos in October.

The origins of National Taco Day can be attributed to

Roberto L. Gomez. Gomez was a San Antonio journalist in the 1960s with a passion for Mexican cuisine. Believing that Mexican cuisine deserved awareness in America, Gomez established the National Taco Council.

If your love language is Tacos just as much as mine, here are some recommendations on places around town to celebrate.

Let’s get eating, last year Americans ate over 4.5 billion tacos!

That’s 490,000 miles of tacos, which could take you to the moon and back. Cheers to breaking the record this year!
