What’s the deal with Soda Bread during the festivities?
What a surprise and delight to find that bread has decided to take a spontaneous vacation to also enjoy the festivities. How thoughtful to leave us here, bewildered and wondering how we’ll manage.
Well .. off to the local store and it is on the rack… The unimaginable horror of a breadless meal. Tragedy of epic proportions adverted

Today is a stunning blue bird day. Today is a spring day of fishing and stream reconnaissance. The sun shinning bright lead to hopes that with the water warming up – so would trout’s appetite. The trout are lazy in the cold stream and lethargic. A triple treat with black and white nymphs successfully pulled the trout out of the sleepy shadows. After a day of fishing, catching and telling stories of the brook trout that got away – our own appetites’ soared.

French Onion Soup – is a staple of where i try the menu. According to my parents it is a classic. If one can do a good soup, the saucier and soup maker knows what they are doing. The tastes that i look for are rich flavors of beef, caramelized onions cooked to perfection, lending a sweet and savory depth to the broth.

The Broadmoor Golden Bee meets expectations and i will work my way around the menu (or perhaps stay with French Onion Soup as it was really good).
Travel eats lead us to Colorado Springs. The Golden Bee has ambience and charm of an Irish Snug with all the old world charm. The Golden Bee at the Broadmoor, Colorado Springs is a restored English Pub of the 19th century. “You can tell a […]
