Oink Oink Beep Beep!

There are certain aspects about living in CO that I'm still adjusting to. Food is one of them. You guys know me, I love food! Growing up in New York and now living out here has made one thing perfectly clear. I am a pizza snob! It's really hard to find good thin crust pizza out here. It's not like there aren't colleges with hungry students looming around. What gives? Also, for those of you who are soft serve lovers...I have yet to come across a soft serve ice cream stand. You know...like Footies. They just don't exist. And for the last time...Subway subs aren't real! So for those of you considering the move...I'm just giving you a heads up.


However, two things you'll never run out of...really good Mexican food and Starbucks! You're pretty much guaranteed to find Starbucks no matter where you are. In fact...some shopping plazas I've seen have one on each end of the parking lot. Down town Denver has a Starbucks on pretty much every corner. It's true, people who live in Denver walk around with shaking hands looking all jittery. Caffeine high. Ask anyone. What's amusing is that when they ice your coffee it costs more!


Real Mexican though...you can't beat it with a stick. It's unavoidable out here. Breakfast burritos kick some major butt cheeks. Something that always makes me laugh though...you can go down any block and come across authentic Mexican food...no problem, but the parking lot of Across the Boarder is always full. Mexican Applebees...What is wrong with people?! Just this morning my boss brought me a breakfast burrito and it was delicious.


So pretty much every trip back home to NY, I plan out just what restaurants I'm going to hit up. King subs, Pudgies, Melody Land...how crazy am I?! No, really?


My last trip home was amazing. I had such a great time! It went by so fast. On my way back I packed my suitcase full of wine and marinades. I brought back some Lucas Tugboat Red and now one of my friends out here is addicted and wants to order a case. I really do love New York. People might act like a$$ h*les when they drive, but out here, they actually drive like a$$ h*les. Mike can attest to that. I've never seen his middle finger fly out the window so often. Also, South Park really does exist and soon enough Mike and I are going to head to Cave of the Winds to try to get a glance of Man Bear Pig.
