Composting

I am starting a composting pile.  Who would know that this would cause so much stress!!
Guess how many times I have moved my pile of sticks and grass?  THREE. 

First it was under the tree, but then I thought it needed sun, so I put it by the house. 

Then my dad told me to not put [...]

Would I do this?

From my local paper:
Salt Lake City police say a 27-year-old man was trying to go north to Bountiful. He pulled up Google Maps on his cell phone to find an alternate route.
Instead of heading home, he ended on a four-wheeler trail somewhere above City Creek Canyon near 5500 East and 1900 North.
Detective Jeff Bedard, spokesman [...]

Working From Home

Today is the day the earth was created.  Or so thinks millions of people sitting on the parking strip right outside my house watching a Days of ‘47 Parade.  It’s when the Mormons came to Utah, and we celebrate it with rodeos and glowsticks.  I was going to write a whole post about how much [...]

Machine’s don’t like us.

I was listening to a Woody Allen stand up routine in my car that Dust got from his buddy.  He was talking about how machines hate him.  I laughed; mainly because he’s a comedian and that is what you do, and because Dusty and I have the same problem!
Friday night at 6 we were down [...]

Is there anything edible in Utah?

I have become a food critic.  Not because I know alot about it, but because I complain about other people’s use of it.  Yes, I blame Michael Pollan for teaching me what is not food.
Everytime I work outside of my office, I am left to try and find lunch somewhere.  I suppose my healthiest option is [...]

“Beulah es tu mama?”

So Superman, as seen in the header riding a wooly mammoth, is one of my kids, and one of my favorites.
He is three and cant’ speak english yet.  He can barely speak Spanish, to tell you the truth, but boy does he speak.  He doesn’t stop.  Everytime Dusty says something in English, Tony (Superman) goes, [...]

Curried Beets

I only used 1/2 my beets the other day in my beet and goat cheese salad and decided to use the rest in a beet stir fry.  But, I have a hard time making stir fry without adding curry, because I LOVE IT.  I have been lazy lately and used the Golden Curry mixture from [...]

Serendipity Roasted Beet Salad

Holy MMMMM…
I was throwing things together the other day when I realized that I absolutely MUST get goat cheese for my new salad.  So, I ran to the local market and asked the guy behind the cheeses what kind was good for salad.  He handed me a cheese and said “I am making a goat [...]

From the funnies vault

I am sure he will be mad, but this picture captures everything I love about Dusty so well….

It’s not just those tentacles and that huge blue head…
It’s that nothing on this planet makes him happier than dressing up in the costume his girl made him and looking like a retard with his nephews.  Ok, so [...]

My 5 favorite words

“He looks just like Kelsey!”
Lucky kid.

I am pretty sure there is nothing greater than a getting a nephew.  AND getting him to come out looking just like you.  For those with less experienced eyes… I can’t really see it much either.  But I’ll take it!!!!!
I can’t wait to hang out with little Thomas Elliott and [...]
