<\/a><\/p>\nJalapeno\u2019s stuffed with pulled pork and then wrapped in bacon and basted with a sweet BBQ sauce. I really don\u2019t need to discuss, Pulled Pork & Bacon Jalapenos are just damn good!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Ugh! Sorry that I haven\u2019t posted in a couple of weeks but life happens, right? The real estate business still hasn\u2019t slowed down in Denver and I ain\u2019t complaining! It\u2019s crazy. Six offers on a listing that I put on the market Monday morning. We went under contract above the asking price. I always feel bad for the folks that didn\u2019t win the bidding war! Good for my client though, a little peace of mind knowing that her home is fabulous!<\/p>\n

Besides da biz\u2026 I again need to pinch myself and realize how lucky I am in my life for the amazing opportunities and experiences that happen to me. This week was no exception! I was asked to join my friends Johnny and Jenny in Albuquerque for the annual International Balloon Fiesta<\/a>. Johnny has been flying his balloon in this event for years and this was the second year in a row that I got to experience something so incredible as flying with 550 balloons in a mass ascension! So hard to describe the feeling but the pictures below will give you a pretty good idea! This was an extraordinary year for Fiesta as the weather was absolutely perfect! This hardly ever happens and the balloons flew for all nine days! That\u2019s nine days of leaving the house at 5:30 am, setting up the balloon, flying, landing, having the chase crew find you, taking down the balloon, loading up, popping your first beer at 9:00 am, tailgating, eating fair food (it\u2019s really good at Fiesta, tons of vendors), getting back to the house for a nap, going to dinner, coming home, cocktails and good conversations with friends around the fire pit, going to bed and doing it all over again! Johnny and Jenny are troopers for getting through the week all while being the most generous and gracious hosts that I have ever known! Just awesome!<\/p>\n One night at Fiesta, we had a party at the \u201cHouse of Hot Air\u201d, aka, \u00a0John and Jen\u2019s house\u2026 Lots of other balloonists and their crews came over to swap stories and enjoy the comradely of this tight nit community. My contribution to the party was a variation of these Pulled Pork & Bacon Jalapeno\u2019s. I actually made my first version with sausage (delish). It turned out yummy but I had another idea on my mind! I have always wanted to stop by Obie\u2019s<\/a>, this BBQ joint in Colorado City, CO. Colorado City is an exit off I-25 in between Pueblo and Walsenburg. Seriously an exit off a major highway with a gas station and a BBQ restaurant! I have driven by it 100 times but this week I stopped and got some pulled pork to take home! I had this feeling that Pulled Pork & Bacon Jalapenos would be delicious and I knew that football would be on all weekend so this is my contribution to this afternoon\u2019s football-watching festivities! Yep. Spicy, smokey, sweet bacony goodness. It hits all the senses! Give them a try. You can thank me later!<\/p>\n
