Goats Milk and Chocolate

Recently my nutritionist suggested I not drink milk but goat's milk is fine. That's OK, I've never been a great fan of milk. But the main place I would miss it is in my hot chocolate. We make really really good hot chocolate (not yet available on the site). So recently I bought some goat's milk and cooked up a cup for myself.

Well, dear readers and fans of Telluride Truffle, I must first of all say ..... please appreciate what I do for you. I offer up my pallate in the interest of informing you, our customers. And I think it's safe to say: Do. Not. (I repeat) Do. Not do it. Trust me. For those of you who are tempted, imagine feta cheese with chocolate poured on it. Wow - that is one nasty taste. But if you must, sugar helps alot. I use agave. Our hot chocolate is not that sweet so adding about 2 teaspoons of Agave made it drinkable. Next .... staytuned for my explorations into rice milk.

By the way - until we get it on the site, if you would like to order the hot chocolate just give us a call and we can get some out to you. One pound $16.

It's MARCH!!! Oh thank God ...... it's March!

In a town with 6 months of winter, you learn to notice the little changes that say - we've only got a few more months to go!!! And that becomes apparent in .... MARCH! The light changes - it's brighter and more, well ... sunny. But the best part is SPRING SKIING is here. That time of year when skiing becomes effortless. The snow is sooooo soft we call it "hero snow" because you can ski alot better than usual - it's effortless. And you can leave the heavy coat and the layers of long underwear at home. You can ski in just shirt sleeves and a baseball hat. I love .... MARCH!

I'm going to let you in on a secret because not many people know about this place - even locals don't know about it.

Best place to have breakfast in Telluride: San Sophia Bed and Breakfast opens their doors to the public every morning for a really really good breakfast buffet. Everything is done to perfection. On top of great food they have friendly service and a homey and inviting ambiance. $16 for everything including beverages. I don't know much about their rooms, but considering how happy everyone looks in the breakfast room, I would imagine it's also a great place to stay.

Last time you heard from me I had just completed turning a 1200 sq. ft. space from a real mess to a beautiful new home for Telluride Truffle. And then ... nothing for two years!! What happened?

1. I got really busy - I didn't even really ski or boat for two years!!! Now THAT is BUSY.

2. I began writing this blog before blogs were even called blogs. I just called it a"Diary from a girl in the mountains." I guess I just picked up the idea from the collective consciousness because now everone is doing it. But way back then, the format to write diary entries was really laborious and finally it quit working and I got busy (see excuse 1). But we updated the site and put in this new format so I'm back in the game. How hip am I - blogging away.
