More local things I like are Haystack Dairy Goat cheeses (and I don't like goat dairy as a rule), Glacier ice cream, all the attitude and history in each jar of Lachlan's red pepper jelly (and I don't like cooked red peppers as a rule), and I wish I lived next door to a Savory Spice Shop. What local stuff do you like? What are your favorite discoveries?

Also, those jars of spicy red chile sauce from the Hmong lady at the Boulder Farmer's Market with no label are amazing, especially with some Haystack marinated cheese. Sisters' Soy Lime Vinegrette. I love their dumplings, but mostly because they're an excuse to dunk in this stuff. I buy bottles and use it as salad dressing, dipping sauce, in stir fries... Finally, Dale's Pale Ale, Old Chub and Mama's Little Yella Pils from Oskar Blues in Lyons are the best beers in a can in the world.

Bread from the Denver Bread Co., of course. Fri May 15 08:16:07 -0700 2009 4683379 11106 tatamagouche 2 4715717 Right you are, about Spice Boys closing their shop.

Now quite "chowhound" tasty, but great balanced quick nutrition. Wed May 27 10:14:16 -0700 2009 4683379 216969 LurkerDan
