I’m back in Colorado this week, and it’s just like I remember – snow! Yes, that’s right, it’s snowing today. Looks like winter is here! It’s a good thing the recipes in our “Fall Comfort Classics” show are great for winter as well as fall! I had a blast in Longmont last night. It was a packed house, and we had a lot of fun. Thank you to every one for sticking around despite the snow!! There are some great pictures of the show on the Times-Call website.
Before coming to Colorado this week, I had a few shows in California: Yuba City, Paradise, Watsonville and Costa Mesa. In Yuba City, they gave away a beautiful dinette set to one lucky winner. In Paradise, I was escorted on stage by Nutsy – the squirrel. He’s the mascot for the local Ace Hardware. I was hoping to get a picture, but wasn’t able to, so you’ll just have to imagine it if you weren’t there 
Watsonville and Costa Mesa were great shows too! Thank you to everyone for coming!!
I’m heading back to California next week for three shows; it’s going to be a busy week! Monday night I’ll be in Vacaville – it’s a fun show every year, so if you’re anywhere close, I hope you can make it! On Wednesday I’ll be in Oxnard. It’s the first time we’ve done a show there, and everyone is so excited!! There is a great video on the Ventura County Star’s website about the show, and some information on a special contest, so make sure to check it out here. Then I’ll head up north to Redding for a show Friday night. What better way to kick-off your weekend than at the Cooking School? Get your tickets soon!!
Halloween is almost here, and there are so many fun recipes here on tasteofhome.com. Make sure to check them out if you’re looking for something new for your party this weekend!!
