We met up with some of our good friends, who are newly engaged (yay!), and headed to Bountiful for a mission reunion. From there we headed in to downtown Salt Lake and ate dinner at bluelemon, then grabbed dessert at Hatch's Family Chocolates. From there we made our way to the Salt Lake City Cemetary. Why? Because it's time to kick off Halloween. In fact, I'm hoping TT will let me watch Hocus Pocus tonight.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>And Saturday</b>: Was an adventure! After work, me and a few coworkers headed out to the Bonneville Salt Flats for a photo shoot and workshop. It was supported exclusively by <a href="http://www.pictureline.com/" style="color: #cccccc;">Pictureline</a>, and held by <a href="http://www.wasatchcameraclub.com/drupal/content/bonneville-salt-flats-photoshoot" style="color: #cccccc;">Wasatch Camera Club</a>. We got off on exit 4, exit 4!! That's 4 miles from the Nevada/Utah border, and also 4 miles shy of Wendover. I can't wait to share more pictures. It was a lot of fun. And naturally, after the shoot we packed up and headed to Wendover to grab some food. It was a first for me. I'll be sharing more about this later in the week.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6143/6205772003_95d400cb7e_z.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6143/6205772003_95d400cb7e_z.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Let's just say the Salt Flats are really, really cool.

Today Katie and Danielle (my super cute coworkers) and I went to <a href="http://www.ekamaithai.com/home.php" style="color: #999999;">ekamai</a> for some Thai food. This cute and tiny restaurant dishes up some delicious curry and noodle dishes. We tried egg noodles with broccoli and chicken sprinkled with lime and red pepper flakes. If you like Thai food and live in the city I recommend ekamai. <br />
Last week I tried <a href="http://www.yelp.com/biz/guzzis-hamburgers-salt-lake-city" style="background-color: white; color: #999999;">Guzzi's</a> with my mom and dad, famous for their burgers. Between the three of us we tried the Guzzi, Bacon and Bleu Cheese, and the Veggie Burger. All were delicious, although maybe a little too greasy for our liking. <br />

Where do you like to eat in Salt Lake?

It always falls on Labor Day weekend. The weather is usually starting to transition from summer to fall, school is back in session, and the long weekend comes at the perfect time. Our family has a place in Midway we love to call our home away from home. Swiss Days runs from Friday to Saturday, with an incredible amount of activities from start to finish. There is a 10k on Saturday mornings, which we've run in past years, a parade, traditional Swiss food and a whole lotta other good food, crafts, and usually a really good find or two.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Last night we headed over to Maria's aka brilliant cake decorator and she taught us the technique/special frostings for dam and fill sugar cookies. I loved every minute of our mid-week girls night in. Thanks Maria for your patience, and thanks Britt for making the cookies! I can't wait to try this again.

Later that day, TT and I went on a long walk with Crew, watched a movie or two, and played games. Tuesday night after work I met my mom and sister at <a href="http://www.caffemolise.com/" style="color: #999999;">Cafe Molise</a> before we saw the Broadway production of Mary Poppins. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6162/6134788377_06b27e1e9f_z.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="380" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6162/6134788377_06b27e1e9f_z.jpg" width="640" /></a> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The food is Italian, and the restaurant is right in the heart of downtown Salt Lake. We weren't completely sure how felt about our meal, but wouldn't mind trying it again. Seeing Mary Poppins reminded me of how much I really love the classic Disney movies, and songs!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6155/6134788491_a761396d0f_b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="216" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6155/6134788491_a761396d0f_b.jpg" width="640" /> </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Thursday night we had a shower for miss Randi in my parents backyard. I get to work with these beautiful ladies! On the menu was broccoli quiche, strawberry pistachio salad, almond poppy seed muffins, a sherbet shine drink, and lots of jordan almonds. It was delicious. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6188/6134798061_b534942186_z.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="380" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6188/6134798061_b534942186_z.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Oh yes. When I got up to Midway last weekend, my mom and Grandma promised me they wouldn't have dessert with out. I ended up taking longer than expected, and didn't make it up there until around 10pm. They stayed true to their word, and we jumped in my car to go for shakes and sherbet cones at Dairy Keen. It was so enjoyable going on a late night eat in with these two! We originally sought out some fresh pie, but the majority of Heber was already closed, so we settled for banana cream pie shakes instead!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6194/6134853453_a83409d90f_z.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="322" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6194/6134853453_a83409d90f_z.jpg" width="640" /></a> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6072/6135345886_017a1570c4_z.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="380" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6072/6135345886_017a1570c4_z.jpg" width="640" /></a> It's been a great week!

We had one last summer "official" summer bbq in my parents backyard today. And some of us just so happened to dress alike. On the menu, a hotdog bar, accompanied by salads (almost all of my aunts and each of my grandmas specialize in one particular salad) and desserts (always the best part!). The hotdog bar turned out quite successful. Everyone likes to prepare their hotdog a different way, and today they could.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6079/6119172230_f3e5d833f1_z.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6079/6119172230_f3e5d833f1_z.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"> My favorite was the chili cheese dog.

And we're all so excited for her. Tonight we threw a shower for some of Randi's friends, at the beautiful Sarah's home. The food was fantastic, the decorations were beautiful, and there was such a fun theme! Everyone was assigned a specific fairytale, and their gift was supposed to be based from it. For example: our friend Carly was given Rapunzel, so she gifted Randi a frying pan... how clever (If of course you've seen Tangled)! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6077/6098660463_fdd6e9e8fc_z.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6077/6098660463_fdd6e9e8fc_z.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6087/6099212946_f9066990f1_b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6087/6099212946_f9066990f1_b.jpg" width="266" /></a><a href="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6190/6098672679_fcf0c23ea6_z.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6190/6098672679_fcf0c23ea6_z.jpg" width="266" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6200/6099222868_5d240c98d5_b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6200/6099222868_5d240c98d5_b.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6061/6098669157_4e95de2a38_z.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6061/6098669157_4e95de2a38_z.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6195/6099206272_15ac3af033_b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6195/6099206272_15ac3af033_b.jpg" width="266" /></a><a href="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6200/6099214780_10a90051b9_z.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6200/6099214780_10a90051b9_z.jpg" width="266" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6083/6099209622_a393526b1b_z.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6083/6099209622_a393526b1b_z.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">What a fun night!</div>megarahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01099110074395778901noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1608270694007102874.post-88056869645680670002011-08-29T23:16:00.001-06:002011-08-29T23:30:50.636-06:00Dinnertime<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6207/6095711648_4722693011_z.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6207/6095711648_4722693011_z.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">It scares me that I seem to be taking more and more pictures of food, and less and less pictures of everything else. Am I obsessed? Am I remembering how much I really love to cook? Is it that I have been able to take advantage of the natural light and take some pictures the last few days? Maybe I just love food! Tonight, TT and I made dinner together. He got the noodles ready and grilled the chicken, while I prepared the special sauce/dressing and put the other groceries away. I hate putting the groceries away! If it were up to me, they'd probably get left on the counter the majority of the time. </div><a href="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6207/6095712858_2cd5fc398b_z.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6207/6095712858_2cd5fc398b_z.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />

The noodles were delicious, but to be completely honest with myself, I'd have to say they were not quite as flavorful as I'd hoped they'd be.
