For those interested the Annual Soup Party date/time/location has been deteremined. See me privately for details.

The latest product is just WRONG! At least for my taste.  I'd much rather have them seperate and then be able to have the honey soak into the bread and form a little crust, but hey that's just me.  Apparently there was enough data to indicate that this product would be successful and who am I to argue with research, I mean it's never been wrong before right?

He's the one that introduced me to putting Hot Cocoa powder packets on top of my vanilla ice cream.  I was probably 10 at the time that he taught me that and ever since that's how I eat my bowl of ice cream. Many people think that it's strange, many others have picked up the habit and love it. Now look at what Dreyer's has come out with.  I think that Roger should get some sort of royalties on this one.

We attended the 2nd Session of Oquirrh Mountain Temple Dedication this afternoon with some of our children. It was great to be able to take them and experience that with them.  Just as it was about to begin, President Monson and President Uchtdorf were walking by the room that we were in and briefing stopped and waved to us as they went by. Afterwards, President Monson stopped and "wanted to say Hello".  Since it was his birthday everyone wished him a Happy Birthday.  He mentioned a couple of words about his birthday and a couple of the younger girls in the room being dressed in pink and how the boys had better watch out, then went on about his way. Overall it was a great experience.  My children were grinning from ear to ear. Afterwards we went to lunch at New Dragon Diner.  We of course received fortune cookies and if you've been reading this site for any length of time, you know me and fortune cookies. This one was fairly tame.  It read "Assert yourself, your ideas are worthwhile at this time."  We'll see where that leads me.

Something tells me that this would only make the news in Utah and only at BYU.

I can pretty much see one of their locations from my window at work and am tempted to go there for lunch frequently, but I resist (most of the time). Now they're being written up in the New York Times (KSL Story).  Now I want a Burger, Fries with fry sauce and a Strawberry shake.

Recognize this building, or at least what is was originally?  Try finding many of these places that are Dine In anymore.  It's pretty tough to do.  Seems like most of them are now Delivery or Pick Up only.

(For those of you that don't know, it was a Pizza Hut)

Recently I was at a Salt Lake Bees Baseball game with my children and what's a baseball game without buying a bag of Peanuts. My son read the allergy information on the bag and asked "Isn't that kind of obvious Dad?".  It says "May contain Peanuts and/or Tree Nuts".

While living in North Eastern Pennsylvania, I was introduced to Stromboli and from the first time that I tried it, I loved it. Ever since returning to Utah, I've tried finding it here, but like all good regional foods, you can't find something that's just right outside of its "home" region. While grocery shopping the other day my wife and I saw these and decided to try them. They aren't bad, but they certainly aren't anything like the real thing. Oh well, I guess this just gives us an excuse to go back to PA for another visit.
