This is a slice of dry-cured hot Italian sausage, dripping in a marshmallow cream sauce. Sweet, spicy, salty, chewy, sticky…a surprisingly delicious experience.
How much do you know about REAL dry-cured sausage? For one, it’s famously difficult to make, one salumiere called it “the pinnacle of the art of meat” And it’s increasingly hard to find. A field trip this past weekend to North Denver Sausage left me “encased” in new knowledge about an old fashioned process. Let’s take a look.

On Saturday, Kirsten from My Kitchen In The Rockies, Karen from Eat Drink and Wash Up and yours truly headed into the city to chase after a battalion of Food Trucks that rolled into Denver for a leg of prime time Food Network’s series, The Great Food Truck Race.
The Great Food Truck Race is a Food Network series where seven teams representing some of the country’s best food trucks hit the road to cook their way across America. Each week the teams that sell the most food race on to the next episode. The losing team drives home. In the end one food truck will remain and the team behind the wheel and the grill of that truck will win the grand prize.
Happy Thanksgiving!
I’d like to introduce you to our little 4 pound Yorkshire Terrier who inspires the “Z” part in the title of my blog. Her name is Zia, we call her Z. This morning at 7:00 we headed over to Shea Stadium in Highlands Ranch along with about 2,000 other neighbors and who knows how many dog neighbors to participate in our Highlands Ranch Community 5K Turkey Run. Proceeds benefit the Colorado National Guard Foundations, to help our military families. Here’s a few picture of our adventure.
