Making a cooking resolution? These 9 recipes will get you started.

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 01:58:47 GMT

If abiding by resolutions were as easy as setting them, perfection would be attainable and the self-improvement section of the bookstore would be cobweb city. Still, self-reflection can be a rewarding exercise at the beginning of a new year. What better place to start than in the kitchen, where you have to spend at least a little bit of time each day?Consider a gentler approach to resolution-making: Try to become just a little bit better at something, rather than change your habits wholesale.

Letters: The Russell Wilson saga — Can the Denver Broncos’ management get it together?

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 01:58:47 GMT

Can Broncos management get it together?I have been an avid Denver Broncos fan ever since I came to the United States back in 1976 and began living in Trinidad. Since then, regardless of where I have resided, I have not stopped following the Broncos. But I am sick and tired of so many dramas in recent years.First, there was prolonged and protracted ownership, which was poorly handled by a custodian attorney who made god-awful decisions that reverberate even today. Then, a head coach who made a sacrificial lamb out of his players, and now headline-grabbing decisions. The general manager is playing with the team as if engaged in baseball card trading. A team either sails together or sinks together.Can the Denver Broncos run a clean ship? It is time for George Paton to get the boot-kicking. Because he never asked if the head coach and the quarterback that he was courting were a good match and a good fit for the organization. His house-burning decision to trade for Russell Wilson will ha...

Colorado should finally license funeral home workers, state regulators recommend

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 01:58:47 GMT

Colorado regulators recommended the state once again license funeral home workers in light of recent egregious abuses in the industry.In a 51-page report sent to the state legislature last week, the Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies said, “It is clear that the public is harmed by the general lack of regulation of funeral service professionals in Colorado.”Colorado has long boasted the laxest mortuary regulations in the nation. The state is the only one in the country to license funeral home businesses, not those running them.Under a recommendation proposed by the Colorado Funeral Directors Association, new funeral home and crematory workers would need to graduate from an accredited mortuary sciences school, pass a national exam, serve a one-year apprenticeship and pass a background check.The industry group requested current workers be grandfathered in, only mandating they submit an application and fee to the state and pass a background check.“People in oth...

Is there a future for this Jefferson County golf course that is overrun with weeds?

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 01:58:47 GMT

Deer Creek Golf Course is dying.Where once lay verdant fairways, the 18-hole course near Jefferson County’s Ken Caryl Ranch community is now largely weeds, cattails and long grasses. Nature, inexorably, reclaims its own.No one has played a legitimate round of golf here in three years. The clubhouse sits empty and forlorn, with a four-tiered fountain at its entry now dry and defunct. And though Deer Creek Golf Course claims on its website that it is merely “closed for renovation” and looks forward “to serving you in the spring,” nobody believes it.“If you’re rational, you can tell it’s not going to be a golf course again,” said John Walker, president of the Meadow Ranch homeowner’s association, which oversees 333 homes that line portions of the course along a stretch of C-470 near Kipling Street.Deer Creek’s future is anyone’s guess. It’s a mystery the course’s owner hasn’t unraveled publicly, a...
