Admittedly, we don’t watch much Olympics (or any other sports) in our home, but it’s difficult not to get caught up in the excitement of the London Games. Also, the drool-worthy athletes do much to inspire when I am at the gym.
- I don’t know who this Stasty is, but she has me floored with her lemon-flavored Olympic Torch Cupcakes. Also, her post is charmingly non-American, as in her use of “colourful” and “caramelised.”
- Almost as enticing are these Olympic Torch Cupcakes from Hoosier Homemade. She went wrong by making chocolate cupcakes. Egads.
- Oh wow. Another set of Olympic Torch Cupcakes. You know what? I don’t even need the cupcake; I’m happy with just the buttercream.
- If cake isn’t your thing, even of the cup variety, then how about some Olympic Torch Ice Cream Cones?
- How about something for the grownups? Like an adult beverage? Like this Olympic Cocktail? Yes, that sounds about right.

I was naive.
Or clueless.
Or both.
Now, I’m no fool (perhaps). I knew that, by moving to Denver, I was giving up access to the bounty that is California’s Central Valley. But I didn’t appreciate the depths of winter and the much, much shorter growing season.
Naive, I tell ya.
Every Saturday during the winter, I resignedly trudged to the (only!) indoor farmers market and hoped to find something more than the (only!) paltry basket of tiny potatoes that were the available fresh veggies. I did develop an unfortunate fixation on some enticing empanadas, which accomplished little, other than to pad my waistline.
I diligently followed the local farmers markets and marked their opening dates in the calendar: April 7 in Boulder and May 5 in Cherry Creek.

So, it’s now November. Almost the end of November at that.
I haven’t even logged in to post since March — I just found an aborted post that I had forgotten about — after I made such a big to-do about allegedly being back.
But I am back for reals now…mostly because I am now moving to Denver.
