I saw a story today about Bon Jovi opening up a "pay what you can" restaurant in New Jersey this spring. That reminded me that I haven't been to One World Cafe here in Salt Lake City in a while. So I thought I'd give a shout-out to them! Even I found something good to … Continue reading Pay What You Can – One World Cafe
Did you know that hard-boiled eggs aren't supposed to be boiled? I didn't. I've never liked them, so I'd never learned how to make them. I only started eating eggs about 11 years ago, when I found out I was sensitive to gluten and could no longer eat bread or oatmeal for breakfast. (I know … Continue reading Simmered eggs

Here in the USA, we are conditioned from an early age to gorge ourselves on candy at Halloween and Easter and be "OK" with that.

Tonight I did all of the poses in this series and my face definitely feels more relaxed. I'm going to do this several times … Continue reading Facial Yoga
Tomorrow is the last time you will need to fight for a parking spot at the 645 E. 400 S. Whole Foods location. The Trolley Square location opens on Monday, March 14th, at 9am. I thought that might mean there would be great sales this weekend to eliminate the majority of their inventory. That’s apparently … Continue reading Whole Foods Trolley Square
I made the rounds of the local markets yesterday, and man... shopping local is NOT fast. I left home just before noon and went to Oasis Cafe first to visit Chad's Produce. There, I bought eggs, spring mix greens, a yellow squash, and leeks. Next I made a quick detour to our landlord's credit union … Continue reading Saturday shopping
