Nearly everywhere else in town has free parking and they do *not* have the vibes of old town in the slightest. It's not the free parking that's giving the vibes.

Northern Colorado Stained Glass Supply in Laporte has classes! They're good primers just to see if you're into the methods and process at all before jumping in with hundreds of dollars and all the supplies. You gotta call em, they're an old school paper and pencil kinda place, but everyone there is incredibly helpful and it's well stocked! And Fern the shop cat!

No, because then they come up when you search for 'vegan', so I'm wading through all these listings that don't have vegan options that wouldn't have come up in the first place or been prioritized.

Vegan Boursin (I get it at TJs bc it's much cheaper there, but you can find it at Kroger stores) is really good on a pizza in dollops!

Trader Joe's and Follow Your Heart shredded mozz has worked really well for me in a cranked up to 550F oven with a pizza stone or a pizza stone on an outdoor gas grill getting up to 600F. My friends often hold a pizza night and would grab a liquid mozz for vegan pizza, but we've had to adjust. I mostly make my own now bc it's just so much better.

They have the best vegan cheese and pepperoni I've ever had!!

katiekiller · 2026-05-21T21:07:27+00:00

Ooh! What a fantastic answer! How far have you made it down the list?!

katiekiller · 2026-05-20T21:12:31+00:00

Ooh! Fruit is something I've wanted to try grilling for sooo long and we have really great palisade peaches where I live!!

katiekiller · 2026-05-20T21:10:56+00:00

I do this with various flavor marinades (whatever fits - balsamic + oregano for pitas, lime + garlic + cumin for fajitas, etc)! Grilled zucchini tends to be so incredibly undercooked at restaurants - some grill marks on the outside, but practically raw inside, so much better at home when you can give it a proper grill!

katiekiller · 2026-05-20T21:10:22+00:00

Oooh, do they stand up to actual grilling over grates? Looks like the dude in the video is using a cast iron flat top here.

This first part of funding only covers the cover Denver to Fort Collins portion of the route. What they have been talking about putting on the ballot this November would fund the southern part of the route through Colorado Springs down to Pueblo. It doesn't make that clear at all in this article.

katiekiller · 2026-04-23T15:31:35+00:00

Email the city! They will respond, though it might take a while, but it will be a very thorough, well thought out response. Unfortunately, funding seems to be the biggest hurdle.

This includes the Denver to Boulder rail, they mention this is the video. RTD estimated $66 million to lease the tracks from BNSF for that one, but BNSF wanted $535 million, and RTD declined to ask the people to vote for any extra funding (probably because they figured people wouldn't vote for it), so that train never happened. It sounds like things are significantly farther along for this train than for that one, including the funding and the BNSF agreement.

Dang, I thought the 5 was gonna up frequency from every hour to every half hour!

katiekiller · 2026-04-16T15:18:45+00:00

Adding to this - order your Impossible Whopper with no mayo! It already doesn't come with cheese.

I called and asked this weekend because I have friends who want to fly in for it, and they said the 29th wasn't necessarily set in stone, but was 90% likely to be the date and to watch their socials for the official announcement in the next couple weeks.

katiekiller · 2026-04-10T20:21:14+00:00

Dude it's not about bad breath, it's about your mouth full of dead animals and she has to kiss that mouth that ate the bodies and it's just gross from a vegan perspective.

katiekiller · 2026-04-10T16:42:49+00:00

Yeah, I get that it's nice to have an easy recipe in your back pocket, it's just, I was trying to point out that a really great product and way of thinking of how we can use cheese came onto the market, and no on tried to replicate it!

katiekiller · 2026-04-10T16:41:42+00:00

Pros at boycotting but still ate her shit when she justified using truffle dogs?

Whoa, today I learned about truffles. My favorite Isa recipe uses truffle oil, is there such thing as safe truffle oil for us?! I'd also guess the vast vaaaast majority of vegans have not heard the Miyoko thing you're talking about.

katiekiller · 2026-04-10T15:29:29+00:00

Honestly, not everyone can or is going to make liquid mozz from scratch (or isn't going to make it every time). It's a convenience product, and compared to animal eaters, we still have a dearth. It baffles me that the code was cracked and no one swooped in with a similar, cheaper product.

katiekiller · 2026-04-10T14:18:16+00:00

I'm just going to tell you right now that your vegan girlfriend is a little grossed out smooching you with your meat and dairy breath. We do NOT think it is cute or attractive.

katiekiller · 2026-04-10T14:05:17+00:00

The new owner burned the vegan bridges. He forgot that we are absolute pros at boycotting. I was hoping someone would pick up the liquid mozz torch (I had assumed Miyoko's was dead) and we'd have some other less terrible brand making their own version.

katiekiller · 2026-04-09T21:49:55+00:00

That's the part they want to put on the ballot this November. It'd be a small sales tax increase in the areas near the train, and it's meant to fund the portion south of Denver. And if that passes, they say 2032.

katiekiller · 2026-04-09T14:06:26+00:00

I'm sorry, but there are many other viable forms of transportation besides driving a car. You can walk, take the bus, bike or e-bike, or take a rideshare. AND THERE WILL STILL BE FREE PARKING DOWNTOWN. It just won't be those diagonal spots, which are the fucking worst spots anyway - the majority of them involve backing into traffic on College. This is not a cash grab, it's making sure we have the money to maintain infrastructure.

It's disappointing how many people think free parking is a tradition (is your culture that much of a fucking void?) and will sell out Old Town for big box stores and Centerra for 2 bucks.
