I'm not Irish, but I am Lithuanian.  So, we made some Kugelis today.



This will likely be the last meal we cook in a real kitchen before we hit the road.  Hopefully, we can quickly figure out how to use the dutch oven that arrived today from Amazon.

Boeke Prospective City Analysis Matrix AND House Walk Through!

By
Several people have asked us how we picked Fort Collins as a place to live so I thought I would share the story with all of you. Or rather, the Matrix. Because that is how we decided.

It didn't wither under the intense scrutiny that I put it under and when we got here to do our final "walk through", it felt right.  And that feeling hasn't gone away. I love that I can ge
