...cucumbers and daikon to pickle and use off-season, as well as late-season bumper crops of rhubarb and eggplant, neither of which they've ever tried pickling before, but are excited to try. Diners will also see pickled and preserved late-season produce year-round at three of Denver's most popular and critically praised restaurants, Mizuna, Luca D'Italia and Osteria Marco - all under the command of chef Frank Bonanno, whose own kitchen at home is healthily stocked with fruits and vegetables that he preserves with the help of his wife and young sons...
...least this is the conclusion I came to after sitting down with her at Denver's Westin Tabor Center during the Democratic National Convention. I'd been tagging after her for a couple of days, from one rapturous audience to another, including the crowd at a community-service event for soldiers, at which an Iraq-war veteran introduced her by announcing, "Ma'am, I know you weren't in the military, but I'd follow you anywhere."

...Take the case of Jose E. Serrano, a charismatic Congressman from New York who said in Denver that Bronx is the poorest district located in the “richest city in the world.” But measured by personal net earnings, New York did not even make the global top ten last year. Did Mr. Serrano mean to make a more modest U.S.-limited comparison, perhaps? A 2005 Forbes rating by the highest median household income reveals that neither New York nor Los Angeles are among the ten richest cities, even in the United States...
