Buddhism in Utah – Cultural Traditions Combine with Modern Practices

August 22, 2020 by Catherine Groseclose Leave a Comment

On a day just before 9/11, Mary Ellen Sloan went for what she thought would be a typical walk around her Avenues neighborhood. She knew nothing of the goings-on inside the well-maintained Queen Anne house at the corner of 1300 East and South Temple. Its sign simply read ‘Zen Center.’  She felt compelled to climb the steps and returned the next evening for a class. “I went in … [Read more...]

Comfort Kitchen – 10 Classic Cookbooks for the Home Chef

August 21, 2020 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

Thanks to the pandemic, many of us are spending an inordinate amount of time cooking and eating at home. And not surprisingly, we seem to be longing for foods that comfort us. I doubt if many are creating cuisine minceur dishes at home these days, opting instead for meatloaf, roast chicken, casseroles and such. Correspondingly, I find myself reaching for tried and true classics … [Read more...]

Epic Sour Brainless on Guava & Habanero

August 20, 2020 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

My son, Hank, and college friends of his were visiting us last weekend and my wife, Faith, picked up an array of interesting beers for a weekend cookout. One that got my attention - in part because it’s one of the strangest sounding beers I’ve ever come across - was Epic Brewing Co. Sour Brainless On Guava & Habanero, Cellar Reserve. What in the world?, I thought.  It’s … [Read more...]

Shoyu Chicken

August 20, 2020 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

August 18, 2020 by Amiee Maxwell Leave a Comment

Neat Places to Explore - If You Can Get In As if Utah doesn’t have an endless supply of natural landscapes and historic sites to discover, the state is also packed with mysterious underground wonders just begging to be explored ― if you can only get into them. Driving up Little Cottonwood Canyon, I often forget there is an entire world tunneled into the granite. … [Read more...]

Squaw Peak Road – My favorite Sunday drive in Utah

August 17, 2020 by Dan Potts Leave a Comment

I rediscovered the great American road trip in the 1980s after returning from graduate school in Alabama. I had just started up Provo Canyon in my car when I saw the turnoff to the Squaw Peak Road (FS Road 27) on the right leading to the Rock Canyon area above downtown Provo. The Rock Canyon “Gorge” is easily visible from I-15, immediately above the Provo LDS Temple, and … [Read more...]

The venture just outside of Cedar City is thriving. The for-profit Red Acre Farm sells shares in the operation, and in return, the 40 member families get food for three meals a day, … [Read more...]

Grafton – A Silver Screen Ghost Town

August 15, 2020 by Mary Beth Skylis Leave a Comment

Covered in dust and aged by tragedy, there’s an old town situated outside of Zion National Park. Now a ghost town, Grafton was repeatedly abandoned by Mormon settlers because of its inhospitable environment. Illness, severe elements, and Indian attacks made the town lethal to most of its inhabitants.  In 1859, five families settled along the Virgin River in what would become … [Read more...]
