Snowing in the Mountains

Mark and I drove by a roll over accident on our way to the mountains on Friday. The car burned. On Saturday when we drove into Breckenridge from the cabin to ski there was a police barricade. A young man had been missing for the past month after he walked away from a bar in a snowstorm. They found his frozen body . It seems he lost his way and died in a snowdrift. We did not find out about this until after we finished skiing. The snow has good and the day was warm for the mountains in the 40s. This was definitely spring skiing. I love doing the bumps on my snowboard and wore myself out by the end of the day. We were quite hungry getting back to the cabin and started with Goose Foie Gras with crackers after I started a log fire. We watched Moliere with our meal of Oven-roasted lamb chops with Mint Chimichurri with a side salad of snow peas with thai peppers and toasted almonds. We paired this with a Louie Martini Cabernet Sauvignon. Chimichurri is a condiment of fresh mint, shallots, garlic, red wine vinegar and jalapeno. It snowed Saturday night and was snowing until we got to Georgetown on the way home. It was beautiful in Denver and the daffodils are blooming in our yard. Our new appliances for the kitchen make over will be delivered tomorrow so we had to make room in the garage for them. Marty is coming back tonight and we will have Polla de Olive with a fennel salad paired with Alianico an Italian varietal.
