Things That Would Lure Me Into a Trap

Any sexy British actor might lure me, but after watching Season 8 of MI-5, I am reminded once again why Richard Armitage tops the list.

Here are a few other things that might get me to fall for a trap:

White Chocolate Tiger cake from the Pastry Pub in Cedar City, UT

Kittens

Red Velvet cake bites from The Sweet Tooth Fairy

A serenade from Gary Lightbody of Snow Patrol

A time portal to the 2009 "T in the Park" music festival in Scotland



What about you? Is there something you just couldn't resist?

Only About 5 Years Late

So I finally got around to reading The Book Thief recently. I knew it would be a good book, but it's just so hard to read something if everyone else has already read it. Why is that?

Anyways, the author, Markus Zusak, is coming to the library in March and I wanted to read it before he came.

Can I just say wowowowowowowow! Now I understand. It's not just a good book. It's an AMAZINGLY good book. The way Zusak describes things. . .wow. . .and the story. . .wow. . .and the characters. . .wow. There were so many moments that I had to stop and reread a sentence just because it was like nothing I'd read before.

Probably most of you will know what I am talking about, but if not, get out there and read this book as soon as you can!

Sweet Home Chicago...Pizzeria

Since our trip two years ago to Chicago where I got to try authentic Chicago style deep dish pizza, I've been wanting to eat it again.

Well, now it's possible and the farthest you'll have to go is Draper or South Jordan. Sweet Home Chicago Pizzeria, brought to you by a family born and raised in Chicago and who have apparently moved to Utah to provide us with this tasty piece of the Windy City, has (according to my inexperienced taste buds) a pretty authentic taste.

Ann-Marie and I decided to make a break for lunch there on our way to the Oquirrh Mountain Temple last Saturday. The restaurant is actually just across Bangerter Hwy from the temple so it's an excellent choice if that's where you're headed.

We ordered the Jake and Elwood which has fajita chicken, fresh tomatoes, black olives, onion, and green peppers. It was very tasty! I'm not a huge fan of chicken on pizza. I always think I am going to like it, but rarely do. This was one of those rare cases, however.

Ann-Marie and I were told that if we could eat the entire pie, the pizza would be free, PLUS we'd get a t-shirt, AND our photo taken. . . Yeah, we had to pay.
