Making a cooking resolution? These 9 recipes will get you started.

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:11:53 GMT

If abiding by resolutions were as easy as setting them, perfection would be attainable and the self-improvement section of the bookstore would be cobweb city. Still, self-reflection can be a rewarding exercise at the beginning of a new year. What better place to start than in the kitchen, where you have to spend at least a little bit of time each day?Consider a gentler approach to resolution-making: Try to become just a little bit better at something, rather than change your habits wholesale. Perhaps you’d like to incorporate Meatless Mondays into your weekly routine, or maybe you’re resolving to bake the birthday cakes for your loved ones this year.

Letters: The Russell Wilson saga — Can the Denver Broncos’ management get it together?

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:11:53 GMT

Can Broncos management get it together?I have been an avid Denver Broncos fan ever since I came to the United States back in 1976 and began living in Trinidad. Since then, regardless of where I have resided, I have not stopped following the Broncos. But I am sick and tired of so many dramas in recent years.First, there was prolonged and protracted ownership, which was poorly handled by a custodian attorney who made god-awful decisions that reverberate even today. Then, a head coach who made a sacrificial lamb out of his players, and now headline-grabbing decisions. The general manager is playing with the team as if engaged in baseball card trading. A team either sails together or sinks together.Can the Denver Broncos run a clean ship? It is time for George Paton to get the boot-kicking. Because he never asked if the head coach and the quarterback that he was courting were a good match and a good fit for the organization. His house-burning decision to trade for Russell Wilson will ha...

Colorado should finally license funeral home workers, state regulators recommend

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:11:53 GMT

Colorado regulators recommended the state once again license funeral home workers in light of recent egregious abuses in the industry.In a 51-page report sent to the state legislature last week, the Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies said, “It is clear that the public is harmed by the general lack of regulation of funeral service professionals in Colorado.”Colorado has long boasted the laxest mortuary regulations in the nation. The state is the only one in the country to license funeral home businesses, not those running them.Under a recommendation proposed by the Colorado Funeral Directors Association, new funeral home and crematory workers would need to graduate from an accredited mortuary sciences school, pass a national exam, serve a one-year apprenticeship and pass a background check.The industry group requested current workers be grandfathered in, only mandating they submit an application and fee to the state and pass a background check.“People in oth...

Is there a future for this Jefferson County golf course that is overrun with weeds?

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:11:53 GMT

Deer Creek Golf Course is dying.Where once lay verdant fairways, the 18-hole course near Jefferson County’s Ken Caryl Ranch community is now largely weeds, cattails and long grasses. Nature, inexorably, reclaims its own.No one has played a legitimate round of golf here in three years. The clubhouse sits empty and forlorn, with a four-tiered fountain at its entry now dry and defunct. And though Deer Creek Golf Course claims on its website that it is merely “closed for renovation” and looks forward “to serving you in the spring,” nobody believes it.“If you’re rational, you can tell it’s not going to be a golf course again,” said John Walker, president of the Meadow Ranch homeowner’s association, which oversees 333 homes that line portions of the course along a stretch of C-470 near Kipling Street.Deer Creek’s future is anyone’s guess. It’s a mystery the course’s owner hasn’t unraveled publicly, a...

“Harlem After Midnight,” by Louise Hare (Berkley)“Harlem After Midnight,” by Louise Hare (Berkley)In the first Canary Club mystery, English singer Lena Aldridge was lured to New York for a Broadway career. The job turned out to be a sham. Now Lena is booked for a return trip, but she’s intent on spending her few days in the big city hunting for information about her father. He was a black musician who suddenly left Harlem for England in the early 20th century. With the help of bandleader Will Goodman, the object of her shipboard romance that Lena believes might become a more permanent relationship, she is ensconced in Harlem with his friends. Lena spends days searching for signs of her father and her evenings swept up in prohibition-era Harlem nightlife. She begins to see a future in New York with Will until a murder makes her wonder if she really belongs back home in England.“The Beautiful and the Wild,” by Peggy Townsend (Berkley)“Robert B...

Lauren Boebert’s switch-up throws massive political wrench into Colorado’s two largest congressional districts

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 16:11:53 GMT

Lauren Boebert’s current congressional district shares a border with the one she wants to represent next year. But she’d have to drive nearly 300 miles from her home to reach it.That distance underscores the surprised reactions prompted by her decision last week to abandon the 3rd Congressional District, where she narrowly avoided a reelection defeat in 2022. The controversial right-wing Western Slope firebrand’s announcement of a switch for the November election to the 4th Congressional District, on the state’s Eastern Plains — seeking to represent an even more politically conservative district than the one she sits in today — is not getting the kind of welcome she might have hoped for.“It looks like she’s so in love with the D.C. swamp that she will do whatever it takes to stay there,” her old friend Greg Brophy, a farmer and former Republican state lawmaker from Wray in northeastern Colorado, told The Denver Post. “Sometimes y...
