Sorry for the lack of posts recently, but things got busy. Christmas was so much fun. Lots of food, family, presents, and celebrating of our Savior. The weather was a little gloomy over Christmas in Auburn, but that just made for our arrival in the snow white land of Colorado even more glorious. There is nothing better than waking up to this beautiful landscape out your bedroom window. 

and upon walking in the lobby of the hotel, we were welcomed with warm glasses of hot cider and a GI-normous gingerbread house that took over 30 hours to construct. 

But the best part was when I heard that this man was in his restaurant Spago. Yeap that is Wolfgang Puck himself. I swiftly turned around on one foot and directed myself to meet him. I walked in, headed toward the booth where he sat with his cookbooks, and chatted with him for a few. He was a delightful man. Those of you who know me, know what I am a cooking affetionado, but not a celebrity stalker. I really could care less. But getting to meet Mr. Puck was crazy awesome in my book, especially since I was not setting out to meet him. It was a total surprise, and a good one at that.

So as Mr. Puck would say, “Happy Cooking”. I will be back soon with lots of snowy white pictures!
