Now, Faith tends to choose wines based on bottle labels and art that she likes. (Not that there’s anything wrong with that.) So, I shouldn’t have been surprised that she brought home a bottle of 2019 RICKSHAW Pinot Noir … [Read more...]

Moscow Mule at Stoneground
Whether enjoyed in the crisp chill of winter or as a refreshing summertime libation, the Moscow Mule has become a favorite among American cocktail lovers. However, the popular cocktail doesn’t seem to have originated in Russia. Boozy historians speculate that the Moscow Mule was created, pre-Cold War, in the good ol’ USA sometime in the 1940s.

WILLKOMMEN TO WELLER’S—Excellent German Fare & More in Layton
Being of German and Austrian descent, I love my schnitzel, sauerbraten, spätzle and such. And yet, it’s easier to find Ethiopian fare - which I also love - in Utah than to find German cuisine. To my knowledge, the only German eateries here are Rimmels in Orem, which specializes in döners, Das Cafe in Spring City, and Siegfried’s Delicatessen in SLC. So I was thrilled … [Read more...]
