Scenes from the baptism

I love these little breaks from weddings. Especially on such a flawless Memorial Day at Light of the World Church in Littleton.

= cutie pie.

Bhut jolokia set my blog on fire (featured in Colorado Springs Independent)

Sick and tired of the subtle taste of Sriracha sauce? Feel the need to ingest actual fire for a decent kick of flavor these days? Here's where you need to go. The restaurant is called Zingers. Open since 2010 and already possessing a devoted following, Zingers knows hot wings. And the Colorado Springs Independent sent me over to photographically capture these wings.

There's one in particular made with the 2nd hottest chili pepper the Earth can make, the bhut jolokia from India. They call it their WTF? wings and it will completely own your sinuses with its hell-raising hotness.

I'm not even kidding. The bhut jolokia pepper is 400 times hotter than Tabasco sauce, and 3 times hotter than habañero. And these skull-clearing peppers get hotter with time. The most intense was around the 1-3 minute mark after I sampled some of this hair-singeing sauce (thanks to Danielle at Zingers for diving off the deep end with me with this taste test).

Lucky for you, I survived. And am able to show you these photos. I love food, even if it does try to set me on fire. It's a love-hate relationship through and through. Go to Zingers this weekend for lunch. FTW.

How I celebrated the Rapture this weekend

These are chocolate-banana pancakes with raspberries built-in. (Bourbon-maple syrup not shown.)

I like stacking them using fresh banana slices as support columns. The combination of these flavors enraptured me all weekend. Definitely making these again.

Boulder Engagement Pictures: Ben & Kat

Kat & Ben invited me up to Boulder for a evening walk down residential alleyways just west of the Hill for their springtime engagement shoot. These alleyways revealed hidden secrets of this mysterious city: carefully sculpted backyards, vintage walls and textures seemingly perfect for pictures. Thank you Boulder! Thank you sunlight that lasted till the last drop.

And thank you Kat & Ben for showing me around and being supermodels for me. You got some serious love skillz! Our next adventure will be your New Year's Eve wedding at the Immaculate Conception and the University Club. I wish it was sooner I'm so excited for those moments. But until then,,,
