Although it can be cooked in the oven, smoking brisket properly is an art form. If you have a smoker and are ready to cook your own, great! If not, no need to worry. Most BBQ restaurants sell meat by the pound, already prepared and pulled. Be sure to call ahead as some places tend to run out early in the evening, especially on busy days. These recipes are a great use for leftover meat if for some reason it wasn't all eaten after a home BBQ. TEXAS TWINKIES Adapted from www.meatchurch.com...
Since graduating from Niwot High School in 2013, the career path for John Acton has not been typical, but rather, a well accomplished legal vocational road that has led the Niwot alum all the way to the judicial chambers of the United States Supreme Court. Acton recently completed a prestigious year-long clerkship with U.S. Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett, one of the most coveted and competitive legal roles in the country. The appointment marked a milestone in a journey that included...
As part of the Left Hand Valley Courier's Neighborhood Spotlight series, which features various local neighborhoods, their history, issues, and general nature, the Courier is taking a close look at the Quiet Retreat subdivision. On the eastern edge of Niwot, north along Niwot Road and next to Niwot High School, is the small secluded neighborhood that lives up to its name, Quiet Retreat. The private enclave consists of just 11 homes, each sitting on a spacious one-acre-plus lot all connected to...

Ok. Do you know what a shot ski is? Neither did I. I was at a wedding recently where one of the bar options was a "shot ski." I couldn't wait to find out what that was. I soon found out. A shot ski is a ski, specifically a snow ski, without bindings. Any number of shot glasses are attached to the top of the ski, equidistant apart. A shot ski can be purchased or easily made. Shot skiing is played like this: Line up people in front of each shot glass, fill each shot glass with a beverage of...
Apple harvest season is here, so it's time to head down to the orchard and grab some of the fruit that keeps the doctor away. Fun fact: apple pie isn't actually an American tradition. The original apple pie recipe first appeared in England in the 14th Century, so it's something European ancestors brought with them, including the planting of the first apple trees in North America. The wide range of types of apples provide many options to use them from main courses to desserts. ROAST PORK LOIN...

Ok. I just ate a bowl of Raisin Bran. With milk. From a cow. It was delicious. I had forgotten how good cereal can be. It got me thinking about how we used to have cereal every morning as kids in the late 60s and 70s. I am not talking about granola or muesli or rice puffs. I am talking about old school mainstays like Cap'n Crunch and Fruity Pebbles. Those were some good eats. We used to eat sugar and artificial dyes with abandon. Remember Trix, Lucky Charms and Fruit Loops? Any good day started...
For her work with Niwot Hall and many other nonprofit organizations in Niwot, the September Left Hand Laurel is Dayna Roane. Dayna Roane grew up in New York, while her husband Robert Roane is from Oklahoma. Although Dayna has lived in Colorado on and off for a long time, the couple didn't find Niwot until 1996, after they got married. At the time, Dayna was working for an accounting firm in Boulder, while Robert worked at the air traffic control center in Longmont. They began searching for a...
Thanks to the drop in temperature, the start of fall brings lots of public and private events to Niwot Hall. Get-togethers range from community organization meetings to celebrations of life to historical lectures and musical entertainment. In an effort to make the Hall as cost effective and all-encompassing as possible, new rental packages for events with food service are being rolled out. Packages begin with three options: an appetizer event, a buffet table, or a plated meal. Each package...

Summer is most definitely not over yet, so there is still plenty of time to fire up the grill and get to cooking. These burgers are certainly unique, but definitely worth a try. Ranging from odd names to modern creations, these will be meals that start conversations and add some variety to a plain old cheeseburger.

Ok. Does a sock or a pair of underwear ever fall out of the sleeve of your pajamas or the leg of your jeans when you are getting dressed? That happens to me all of the time. I guess I have too much cling in my clothes. But it is always a happy happenstance when that happens. Just like that elusive sock, many things that we think are lost are simply “hidden” from sight until they are ready to be found. Lately, I have been searching for my string of pink and white pearls and their matching ear...

Now that football season is here, time to find some good savory foods that are easy to make and easier to enjoy. Even if you're not a sports fan, these are great to enjoy at any late summer gathering. Hopefully there won't be any leftovers, but on the off chance there are, these all will keep well in the fridge to enjoy later or can be repurposed into other meals.

Some things bear repeating. The first week of school chaos repeats itself every year. I repeat myself all of the time. So, let's repeat Let's Talk About... from Aug. 21, 2024 (slightly revised). Ok. Can we all take a deep breath after the first week of school? That first week is a little rough, don't you think? All the fuss, anxiety, and logistical planning comes to a head with the start of school. Whether you are a parent of a student or the student, it's a tumultuous time. In the blink of an e...
Gargoyles are hard-working students, incredible team players, great friends, and an integral piece of the Niwot community over the summer at events such as Lobsterfest and Rock & Rails. They assist in keeping events at Whistle Stop Park zero-waste. The Courier is spotlighting some of these friendly, essential volunteers. Milo Peterson, a Niwot High School senior, has spent all four of his high school years volunteering with the Gargoyles at the annual Niwot Rock & Rails Summer Concert Series at...

Mention around town that this month's Left Hand Laurel goes to Tony Maurer, and prepare for a flurry of superlatives. "Tony is so deserving," or "He always wants to help." and then, "If I was ever stuck in a foreign jail (of course, wrongly accused), Tony would be the guy I'd call." That last bit was from Dan Hawk, who co-manages the Rock & Rails Summer Concert Series and regularly relies on Maurer's help. "I know he'd get me out," Hawk added. In short, Tony Maurer is a guy who gets things...
Ok. You know how baseball players have a song that plays when they walk up to the plate? The song gets the crowd excited and acts as a kind of “signature” of the player, right? The Rockies’ Charlie Blackmon stepped up to the plate to "Your Love” by The Outfield, with the crowd singing along to the chorus. Former Rockie Dante Bichette's walk-up song was "Sledgehammer” by Peter Gabriel. And Athletics’ catcher Austin Wynns approached the plate to the sounds of ABBA’s “Dancing Queen” during h...

Since August is National Peach Month, let's dive into some creative ways to use this fruit. But first, some crazy facts. Peaches have been cultivated for around 5,000 years, now with over 700 varieties, all packed with great nutrients. One more tidbit, the fuzz on peaches is not only a defense mechanism against pests, it helps the fruit hold its moisture on those hot summer days. Orchard or market fresh – even frozen – peaches are a tasty way to help eat healthy and natural. If you bought a fla...
