March 12, 2025Thrilled to offer a mid week Boyle Supper Club Meal Deal at Arelita's Cuban Restaurant. Amaury Hernandez, a very talented chef, and his lovely wife operate this little, hole in the wall, right on a main drag, but a little hard to find, local gem. When you step inside, and yes, I have been to Cuba, it is like stepping into a cute cafe in downtown Havana. Offering three delicious entrees with side for only $10 each. Esta bien! Choose from the ropa vieja (shredded beef), the pan con lechon (roasted pork), or my favorite, the vaca frita (crispy shredded beef). They have a liquor license, so maybe a mid week mojito might be in order. Thanks for helping support this wonderful addition to the Springs' scene.

Dine in or take out. Get as many of each as you wish. I will be there broadcasting from 3-5PM, and specials will be offered from 3-6PM.

March 22, 2025I'm coming up north. The folks at IHOP have invited us to enjoy an evening meal at their Northglenn store. Choose any of their wide selection of hamburgers for only $7.10 (regular price about twice that). Dine in or take out. Choose from sides of fries, onion rings, or pancakes. Or you can choose the classic chicken sandwich or the Philly cheese steak sandwich, each with choice of fries (again, about half price). Big plates, big portions, big savings. This is their busiest store, so come early, come hungry.

March 26, 2025Should be an interesting Book Club meeting. We will be joined by Michael Cannell, author of Blood and the Badge, the story of two rogue New York City cops. Books have been written about them, their capture, convictions. A compelling story. We will also be joined by Bob Daly, a retired NYPD officer from the 1980s and 90s who knew both officers. Has some first hand knowledge and interesting tales.
On another note, suggest attendees watch the documentary, The 7-5, the story of the 75th Precinct in New York during the 80s and 90s. It truly was the Wild West. Remember, everyone is welcome, but please contact Lisa Fellows at lisa_fellows@comcast.net, club coordinator, to let her know you would like to attend. She will also forward the latest updated information about the meeting.
Finally, local Colorado author Barbara Nickless has agreed to join us. I just finished Blood on the Tracks by Barb. Enjoyed it.

March 29, 2025For over 50 years, Panino's Downtown has been doing a great job. Family owned, operated, menu with a lot of variety. We have been invited back for a Lunch Bunch. Great specials will be HALF PRICE meals. The best selling grinder sandwich, the Cowboy panino, and the veggie panino will all be featured as well as the gluten free chicken fettucine. My advice? Come for a nice lunch, enjoy a panini. Then take home the pasta dish for dinner.
Remember, you can call in your order and it will be waiting for you when you arrive.
