Refuge at the Market

The week before Labor Day is turning out to be a quiet one. Another Social Distanced week that is consisting of smoky overhang from the mountain fires and the heat is still at record highs. My first week of social distanced high school is behind us, and right now we’re ready to get cookin’.

In the paper: Rocky Mountain News has the issue of Life & Culture a good writing of restaurant revivals – even though they are still mostly outside seating and in the smoke and weather. Then there is a story all about french fries (spoiler alert, they’re not actually french). Though today my story is about refuge from all these crazy things (aka fires, Corona, heat, etc, etc.) I found this refuge at Spinellis Market.

This afternoon, to hit off yet another week of distance learning, I took a trip to the best little Market in Denver: Spinellis. Here they are equipped with everything from ice cream, to sandwiches (the best around, especially the Rosemary Ham sandwich), to Italian Cream Sodas. This little place (quite literally a slice of Heaven – for they have pizza and pie, too) is my refuge for this week. All is good here… aside from everything else.
