We ventured off the mountain to Boulder for Tracy's birthday. For her present, Tyler prepared a five-course dinner at her house. I didn't take any pictures because he was making me work too hard, but here's the menu that will make you salivate:
Mom's Birthday DinnerFirst course
pumpkin soup, curried pumpkin seeds, maple syrup
New Belgium 1554 Enlightened Black Ale reduction
Second course
steamed mussels, smoked tomato sauce, quinoa cake
shaved fennel and grilled pear salad
Third course

poached quail egg
Fourth course

fingerling potato salad, brown butter mustard vinaigrette, bacon
Fifth course

Not bad for a dinner at home, eh?
