Coquette's Colorado Springs Open in Spring 2014.

Hi there.  I found out that the Coquette's new location in Colorado Springs, CO. will be open in the Spring of 2014.  Construction is still going on inside.  I hope that they will have a great Grand Opening.  I hope to be there.

On another note, today is National Strawberry Day. So, I made nutella filled strawberries once again.  I gave some to the volunteers at Seeds Community Cafe.  They were taken pretty quickly.  I am hoping to make more soon.

That is it for this post.  I look forward to see you on my next post in March.  Take care and have a great day!

Nutella Filled Strawberries - 2/14/2014

Happy Valentine's Day 2014 to everyone.  Before I volunteered at Seeds Community Cafe in Colorado Springs, CO today, I decided to treat my fellow volunteers with Nutella Filled Strawberries I made this morning.  Here's a picture of them before they were all eaten.

I received many positive reactions to these delicious filled strawberries.  If you would like to have some and are in the Colorado Springs or Denver areas, please e-mail me at mikea1@earthlink.net

Thanks for visiting my blog and have a great day!

No Child Left Hungry - 2/1/2014

Hello, everyone.  It is the start of a new month.  I recently read that at Uintah Elementary School in Salt Lake City, Utah that school lunches of up to 40 students were taken and thrown away because of outstanding balances on their accounts.  This should not happen in any school anywhere.  Money should never come in the way of children having a well balanced meal at school.

I believe that a community cafe should step up and provide lunches for those families that can't afford school lunches.  In some areas, a fast food sandwich and a soft drink are cheaper than a school lunch.  What are your thoughts on that?

Let us use this hash tag on our Facebook & Twitter pages: #nochildlefthungry  Our children are our future.  Let's leave our world better than the one we lived in in our youth.

Here is to the start of a great month filled with love.  Have a great day!

Roast Pork Medallions at Seeds Community Cafe - 1/22/2014

Hello again.  Yesterday, I had roast pork medallions at Seeds Community Cafe in Colorado Springs, CO.  It came with mashed potatoes and turnip greens with bacon and onions.  It was pretty good.  I only wished that they had butter to go along with it.  Here's a picture of my plate before I ate.

I had the loaded potato soup with it as a side.  I hope you come by and try it if it's on the menu that day.

Well, that's going to do it for this post.  Follow me on Twitter @uniquelymike or e-mail me at mikea1@earthlink.net  It's going to get colder tomorrow.  Dress for the weather wherever you are.  Have a great day!
