New Fave

So some of the friends and I tried a new place for dinner the other night, Sage's Cafe.  It's a restaurant that several of my friends and co-workers have raved about, that just happens to cater to Vegans and Vegetarians, and lovers of fresh, locally grown organic products.  And since I'm all about the veggies anymore, it has peaked my interest.  So I was thrilled to be able to go there the other night, and even more thrilled that A - I was able to find it (as the entrance is rather hidden from view), and B - that the food was fabulous.


I'd been perusing their menu for a couple of weeks, and knew at first glance what I would order.  There are probably four foods that will get me every single time - avocado, pesto, artichokes, and hummus.  And since this dish had 3 out of the 4, how could I not be swayed by their "Guac-n-Roll" burger, a burger made with cashews, almonds, garbanzo beans (there's the hummus), and topped with pesto and guacamole.  And it was DIVINE!  Apparently the majority of my friends had thought the same, as 4 out of 5 of us chose the same thing.


As the evening was in celebration of last month's birthday, we also ordered a dessert to share - a brownie sundae.  The brownie was homemade, gluten-free, and topped with vegan vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce.  Word to the wise - vegan means they don't do dairy.  So our ice cream did not have the same creamy texture you might expect.  But it was still tasty, and flavored with real vanilla bean.  YUM!

Looking at the rest of their menu, there is nothing they offer that does not sound fabulous.  I'm pretty much going to have to go back, so I can try everything.  I can't wait!

Hi, my name's Tracie and I'm a Mormon. That being said, I've provided enough context for the conversation I had with the receptionist at work today: Christy: (Showing me a photo) What picture is this movie from? Me: Mmmm, Serendipity maybe? Christy: No...you should know this. Me: I should? Christy: (Finally) It's from the movie "Charlie"! Me: How would I know that? I don't watch Mormon movies. They're dumb. Now that I've let the cat out of the bag, I guess I should also confess that I also don't listen to Mormon pop music (other than the original recording of The Forgotten Carols), or read Mormon fiction. So sue me. Let's face it, it's not like most of them are of real quality anyway. When it comes to Mormon music, I'll stick with my MoTab and the hymns of Zion.

New 'Do

For probably the last 10 years or so, I've had pretty much the same hairstyle. For the most part, it's been long, all one length, and I would eventually put it up in a ponytail almost every day, because I couldn't stand having it in my face. It drove me crazy, but I didn't know what to do with it, and at the same time, I liked that I could basically get up and go every day without a lot of effort. For the past several months now, I've been threatening to do something different and drastic, and finally, yesterday, I did. At the recommendation of Angel, I made an appointment with her stylist. It took several weeks to get in, but finally, the day arrived. Angel went with me, for moral support, and to be the photographer. I went in with some basic ideas, but after some consultation and looking at photos with Francine, this is what I ended up with. First, the "before" shot: In process: And finally, the finished product: I can't remember the last time...

Triple D Divas Do Northern Utah

Last Saturday, the Triple D Divas met for a day trip get-away to Northern Utah - specifically Logan and Brigham City (with a little touch of Idee-ho thrown in for good measure). We started our journey with lunch at the Bluebird Cafe. Everyone knows about the Bluebird - it's about the oldest place on main street, and is tradition for anyone whose ever done a Logan Temple Trip. We went in to see the Logan Tabernacle, and I snapped this cool picture of the oragn pipes. (Of course, now that we're all in our 40's and have shrinking bladders, the Tabernacle also made for a clean and convenient potty stop.) ...Also a view of the Logan Temple spires from outside the Tabernacle...    From there, it was off to Glossner's Cheese Factory for some squeaky cheese. After that, we went to the Pepperidge Farms Outlet, and the girls all found some cookies and stuff.  But nothing really excited me there.  However, the outlet is located...
