What Do Donald Trump and Joseph Smith Have in Common?

February 27, 2021 by Richard Markosian Leave a Comment

The short answer is they were both presidential candidates accused but never convicted of inciting riots. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints founder Joseph Smith had a similar anti-establishment attitude to Trump when it came to federal power and how it is wielded in Washington. And Smith certainly wanted to “drain the swamp” but in a manner that is very … [Read more...]

February 26, 2021 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

Each and every year - pandemic notwithstanding - Deer Valley Resort justifiably receives piles of awards and accolades for its world-class hospitality, amenities, skiable terrain, and of course, food and drink.

Valley of the Moon Pinot Blanc-Viognier

February 25, 2021 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

I really love wines made with Viognier, a grape varietal that lends gorgeous floral aromas and flavors to wine. Wines that have Viognier in them - either a lot or a little - typically offer up perfumed scents of fruits like honeysuckle, peach, tangerine, mango and apricot. Recently I came across a very nice wine that blends Viognier and Pinot Blanc grapes from Sonoma County: … [Read more...]

3-Way Meatloaf

February 25, 2021 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

Meatloaf - along with macaroni and cheese - has to be at or near the top of the list of great American comfort foods. But, too often it can come out dry and bland. I’ve tried many meatloaf recipes over the years and have settled on this one as my favorite. It features a combination of three different meats: veal, pork and beef. However, you could customize your meatloaf by … [Read more...]

Why Should You Drive to Provo to Get Your Rock Climbing Equipment?

February 24, 2021 by M. Shane Richins Leave a Comment

Outdoor sports are one of the biggest reasons to live in Utah. People come from all over the world to ski, mountain bike, rock climb, and pursue a plethora of other adrenaline addictions that bring them face-to-face with raw nature.  The geographic wrinkles that rise up all around us in this beautiful state, sculpted and carved by wind and water, offer a view from just about … [Read more...]

Have Utahns Forgotten Their Industrious Pioneer Ways?

February 23, 2021 by Richard Markosian Leave a Comment

Will we adopt California’s identity if we don’t define it ourselves? Does Utah and the West still have an identity? Are we standing up for who we are? And what we want? Or are we likely to become culturally, politically, and religiously like California? Politics flows downstream of culture, and for decades California has defined and created the culture of the west. … [Read more...]

Utah’s Identity Crisis: Will Crony Capitalism Define Utah’s Future?

Stocking Up On Fabulous Foods From Our Favorite Markets

February 20, 2021 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

  When I moved to Utah in 1992, specialty food stores were few and far between. Liberty Heights Fresh was still a year away from opening and Granato’s was about the only gourmet game in town, selling imported Italian foods, hot and cold sandwiches, kitchenware and such.  Thankfully, much has changed in the nearly 30 years since then, and SLC and its environs are … [Read more...]

STELLAS! A V-Day Visit to Ogden’s Best Italian Eatery

February 19, 2021 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

It is impossible for me to see or hear the name “Stella” without picturing the scene from A Streetcar Named Desire where Marlon Brando shouts “Hey, STELLA!!!!!! STELLA!!!” So naturally, I was curious about how Ogden’s American & Italian Bistro called Stellas (no apostrophe) got its name.  Owner/Executive Chef Geraldine Sepulveda speaks especially fondly of two … [Read more...]
