Fortunes from Beijing Noodle in Fort Collins, Colorado, December 22, 2025

We did peppernuts before Christmas this year. We did a 6-cup-of-flour full recipe.

2024 haul, 2023 haul, 2022 and 2021 hauls

Another big peppernut haul! This is a 6 cup of flour, full recipe.

Previously:

• 2023 peppernut haul
• 2022 and 2021 peppernut haul

Ate at Cracovia Polish-American restaurant in Denver’s most-misspelled suburb, Westminster. It was delicious.

Saw an exceptionally bad commercial tie-in the other days, Oreos, and Star Wars

More bad tasting booze.

2024’s corned beef and cabbage! A decent corned beef this year, slightly salty. The extra salt in the broth gave the vegetables delightful, extra-umami flavor overtones.

Quite a haul this year. My son and I made a full, 6-7 cup of flour recipe.

Possibly the worst booze I’ve ever had.

As a kid, there was absolutely nothing better than convincing my mom to buy some Lucky Charms brand frosted toasted oat cereal & marshmallows.
