Food

Boulder has some good little food places.
We are very close to the Pearl St outdoor mall.
(Basically like downtown Park City)

When we finally got here Thursday night,
we walked down there to the Yellow Deli.
Google said 13 minutes on foot.
A pleasant evening walk.
(It was 10 pm)

Google did not mention the slight up hill
(Pant pant)
nor the extreme downhill.
(Which meant an extreme uphill on the return trip)
YIKES!

However, we successfully found the deli 
and discovered it was a cheerful, although
somewhat dark (lots of wood) 
throwback to the 70’s complete with
jute macrame dividers between the booths.
The gentleman who waited on us was a delight!

We had a couple of DELICIOUS sandwiches,
Nancy had the “Spring chicken” and I had 
a Yellow Submarine.
She had a natural orange cream soda and 
I had the BEST iced chamomile tea!

We had a wonderful time visiting and sharing
stories about our respective day and journey.
She spent a fun day in Denver, even took a subway!

When we were done, we called an Uber for
the quick 3 minute drive home.
A FIRST for me!
And TOTALLY worth the $!

We enjoyed it so much, we went back
for breakfast the next morning!
We both got an egg sandwich that was super
yummy and filling!

No lunch.
(See above... haha)

I’ll come back and tell about the day later,
this is just about the food.
The evening found us at a marvelous
restaurant called Riffs.
We nearly had to order the entire menu.
It all looked so good!
Finally settled on a grilled peach and
prosciutto salad for an appetizer,
and the Nancy ordered a fabulous watermelon
salad with pickled red onions and basil.
And a player of delicious bread and more
of the amazing prosciutto.
I got a roasted smoked pork loin with
garlic smashed potatoes and green olives, 
capers and other random but tasty veggie.
We ate family style sharing everything.
YUM!

AFTER we had eaten it all, we decided that
henceforth we would take pictures of all our
wonderful food.
Which likely means we will be eating 
Pop Tarts and Hot Dogs from here on out.
Hahaha


Actually we found a fun diner while out and about
looking for a yoga mat for Nanc.

Eggs, bacon, hash browns, a pancake for Nanc that
was as big as her head and a big Denver omelette for
me, because, DENVER!
