A woman cannot survive on salad alone.  I knew that I was going to fail my salad-only diet attempt a few days into the challenge when I decided to bake cookies.

Travels and tribulations

I’m not stupid. I know nothing in life is free. But when this random email appeared in my inbox offering to fly me down to South Padre— and pay for my airfare, hotel, and meals—I said yes. Full story

Death Soopers

One dangerous spring break

As a little girl, I was once told that most people die of a vehicle accident within a 30-mile radius of their homes. It is for this reason that I encourage everyone to leave this 30-mile death zone as often as possible. And now that it’s spring break, you have the perfect opportunity.

Cyclopedia

Reusing the written word

I love books. Books are the friggin best. Altered books, however, are not the best.

Handmaiden

Chauvinism center stage

Margaret Atwood’s novel The Handmaid’s Tale is heavy on the creepy sex, violence, and lusty affairs. UC Denver’s theatre department’s spring production shows a proposed future for women when a totalitarian theocracy takes over the U.S. government, and women are reduced to cooks, sex slaves, and baby-makers.

After some reluctance, Walker decided to pursue the idea, and her life hasn’t been the same since.

Roller Skating With My Cousin

Theater experiments

Don’t be afraid to walk into a random warehouse in Denver. Well, that is if the windowless garage-style building is on the corner of 22nd and Stout. Because, thanks to The LIDA Project, there’s a lot of acting going on inside.

Jonesy EatBar

Jonesing for gastropub fare

The best thing about eating at Jonesy’s is Jonesy—Leigh Jones. Her attitude toward providing genuinely good service filters down to her staff, which compensates for a lot, even when my dining experiences at Jonesy’s have stumbled into the territory of borderline disaster.

Venue of the Restaurant Week

You only have until March 5 to experience Denver Restaurant Week, where diners get the chance to sample some amazing local menus for $26.40 a person.  So how do you choose from among the plethora of dining options our grand city offers? Here’s a tip: choose Venue.

H Burger

Hold on to hope for H Burger

It’s only been open a couple of weeks, but damn, do we really need another overpriced burger in this town? I don’t think so.

Stella

Four stars for Trattoria Stella

This top notch eatery disappoints at first, but ends up with a spicy bang.

Green Beans

Modest but far from mundane

Many Denver restaurants can boast a good meal, and many do, but there are few that have the brilliant humility of The Squeaky Bean.

Club cardio

Fit Beat: Clubbin' and some cardio

Supposedly, you’ve got to have your cardio. From working the elliptical to pumping out some extra jumping jacks, it’s worth trying most anything to get in cardiovascular exercise to drop pounds. While these endeavors can show results, the excitement and fun are, well, lacking. But get ready, because the fun is starting. Girls, strap on a pair of high heels. Guys, swipe in some hair gel. You’re going to a new gym: the club.
