Ok. Are you stressing out about the holidays? Maybe you are someone who doesn't give the holidays much attention. Or you might be somewhere in the middle. The holidays bring a gamut of feelings and depending on where you are in life, the excitement, or in some cases, anxiety, changes over the years. The meaning of the holidays also transforms a bit. When you are very young Christmas is filled with excitement and anticipation. The most stressful thing you worry about is talking to Santa. I must...

Ok. You have probably heard the phrase, "The power of the written word." Somehow putting words on paper packs a punch. The law clearly recognizes the impact of and the difference between the written word and the spoken word when they made "slander" (a spoken defamatory statement) and "libel" (a written defamatory statement) two distinct bad acts. Libel has historically been treated as the more egregious of the two, and it is not hard to see why. Writing something down gives it a bit of...

Let's be honest, the bread accompanying dinner is often the best part of the meal. Whether dipped in olive oil, gravy, or slathered with butter, dinner rolls never disappoint. Similarly, a good bun is the difference between a good and an outstanding burger/slider/sandwich. These recipes make the perfect rolls and buns every time.

Ok. Do you remember when you first learned about Thanksgiving? It probably included the tale of Pilgrims sailing to America and befriending some Indians, after which they had a turkey feast in thanks for the Indians’ help surviving the winter. Wow, that was a lot to unpack as a child. In a nutshell, this song, sung to the tune “We Gather Together,” I learned in first grade summed up all I knew about Thanksgiving: “The year 1620 the Pilgrims came over. The good ship Mayflower brought them ac...
Just in time for Thanksgiving! Let's start with the green bean casserole so many of us feel must be on the Thanksgiving table.

Cranberry Concoctions What would Thanksgiving dinner look like without cranberry sauce and its progeny? Probably a little more peaceful since the debate between homemade cranberry sauce and the jellied kind from a can dominates the very important Thanksgiving cranberry decision. Go ahead, buy the canned kind, slice it into half-moons and enjoy. But here are a couple of alternatives. CRANBERRY SAUCE MADE FROM CRANBERRIES Basic cranberry sauce is almost as easy as opening a can. The bonus is that...

Ok. Life can bring great joys and great disappointments. In the face of adversity, do you despair or embrace it? For example, last week, I was wearing sandals and a tank top. This week I was planning to hike Mt. Sanitas but instead found myself bundled in a sweater cuddling my electric blanket. By the way, it is only in the high thirties. By February the mid-thirties will seem downright balmy. Abrupt changes can be a jolt. But before long, we get used to the change and fluctuations in the...
From reading the marketing blurb on the back cover of Justin Courter's latest book "Cadenza, A Novel" (available at Inkberry Books), one might be forgiven for anticipating this tale to be a simple heart-warming story of a prodigy overcoming great physical and emotional odds to become a singular success on the world stage. The blurb casts the protagonist thusly: Despite the barriers of her scarred face (from a house fire at an early age that killed her sister) and her tragic childhood, she...

With Halloween behind us, attention turns to Thanksgiving. The Courier Cookbook will count down to the big day with recipes perfect for any Thanksgiving meal. We start with stuffing. "Stuffing" is usually used to fill the turkey while the term "dressing" is used for similar dishes but served outside of the turkey. Either way, they are essential to the traditional Thanksgiving fare. Instead of buying it in a box or bag, try these. Next week we will focus on cranberry sauce and other fruit side...

Ok. Was I the only one who thought "trunk-or-treat" was a typo? Seriously. I soon realized I saw the words too often together for "trunk" to be a typo. But I still didn't understand what trunk-or-treat meant for longer than I want to admit. What was happening here? And was there really an elephant involved? I figured it had to be a social distancing remnant of COVID. But after a little googling, I learned trunk-or-treating has been around for at least 10 years, well before COVID. Where have I...
It began with a wedding ring that vanished one night. Adrianne, a longtime Niwot resident, had followed the same bedtime routine for over 40 years. She would remove her ring and place it carefully on her bedside table. One morning she woke and her ring was gone. In its place was a child's toy ring, the kind of ring you might find as a prize in a Cracker Jack box. It was small and plastic, and gleaming in the morning light. Despite searching the entire house, her wedding ring was nowhere to be fo...
