Ridgeway RR Museum The incline leading to the Telluride Historical Museum can be an intimidating haul, and not just for visitors from sea-level. Often, the museum located at the top of Fir St., is out of sight, out of mind.

But no longer!

Effective immediately, Galloping Goose buses, Telluride's free public transportation, will detour their route to choo-choo guests to the hospital turned museum upon request.

Happy New Year There are myriad superstitions involving food that I ignore. But a few I hold fast to for no other reason than they are habit, and to question the ridiculousness of them would be living life a little too seriously.

If the wishbone makes it intact after carving a roast chicken, I grab my end, dream big and twist. At friends’ weddings, I throw rice or seeds like all the other guests, blessing the bride and groom with a fruitful union and messy hair. When salt is spilled in the kitchen, I throw a pinch over my left shoulder to stave off bad luck, if not the annoyance of the sprinkled person behind me.

And I always eat black-eyed peas on New Years day. The dish is called Hoppin’ John and there are lots of theories why some people eat it for good luck, with a slew of others as to how it got its name.

ResizedImage340563-12-29-action-cafe Telluride-based The New Community Coalition is happy to announce the next Sustainability Cafe, this one in Mountain Village. We are grateful to the fine folks at Fairmont Heritage Place, Franz Klammer Lodge who are opening their Alta Room for the gathering, which takes place Wednesday, Dec. 29, 10:00 a.m.
 
If you haven't been to a Cafe, it's pretty simple. Sustainability Cafes are a chance for us to gather and talk about issues of the day that generally relate to sustainability. (What doesn't?). Who should come? Anyone and everyone, young and old, visitors and residents, friends and neighbors. What's on your mind? What have you done lately that you're proud of? What changes have you considered in your life, and where are the challenges? What help do you need? What actions can we take as individuals, businesses, and as communities to do better? Since we're coming to the end of 2010 and looking forward into 2011, now is a great time to reflect  and plan for the future. Not exactly New Year's Resolutions. Or maybe they are...

Tamales_1 Growing up, I thought it was just my family that had skewed tradition a little on Christmas day. The morning always began straight out of a storybook with a delicious slice of homemade Stollen bread, a mug of steaming hot chocolate and the frenzied unwrapping of Santa’s bounty. But for Christmas dinner, while the other families in our New York City apartment building were sitting down to roast beef and Yorkshire pudding, we were tucking in to a pot full of spicy pork tamales.

It turns out we were just borrowing from another culture, and from my mother’s past. She had grown up in San Antonio, Texas, a beautiful city whose architecture and cuisine is influenced by its southern neighbor, the country it once belonged to. The population of Mexicans and Mexican-Americans in San Antonio still outnumbers everyone else, and the Mexican-influenced food is some of the best in the country.

Trimming by Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer Be patient towards all that is unsolved in your heart. And try to love the questions themselves. Do not seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is...
