In no particular order:
1. Sweet potato fries at Cafe Orleans
Since the Pastry Pub is closed (burned up but reopening in a couple of weeks), we've been forced to branch out when looking for places to eat. I don't really think it's possible to make a bad sweet potato fry, but the ones at Cafe Orleans are particularly fine.
2. The Garden House
Again, new restaurants are required this year. Several people from my London tour group recommended this restaurant to me, but the dinner menu is a bit pricey. We went for lunch today, and my meal was excellent. (The building's lovely too.)
3. Quinn Mattfeld
We saw "The Comedy of Errors" at the Utah Shakespearean Festival last night. "The Comedy of Errors was the first Shakespeare play I saw AND understood. I was 9 or 10-years-old and when I returned to school in the fall, I made a diorama based on the play constructed with Ken dolls wearing turbans. I have no photos of it but I'm sure it was a thing of great beauty. Quinn Mattfeld plays Antipholus of Syracuse in the play this summer and he was completely charming in the role last night.
4. Tarts
I mention the tarts at the Festival often, but they're bigger this year so I figure they deserve another mention. I believe that tonight's dinner is going to consist entirely of tarts.
5. Cedar Breaks
I hadn't been to Cedar Breaks in years and years, but we drove up this morning and it's stunning. Also, the name for the free-standing formations? Hoodoos.

I love hoodoos. Both the formations and the name. It just rolls off of the tongue and gives many opportunities for silly tongue twisters.
I hadn't heard about the Pastry Pub. So sad. But so glad they will be able to open back up. Very, very happy to also hear about the tarts.
Moo--So true. It's a fantastic word.
Yankee Girl--Yeah, the Pastry Pub burned months ago and it's taken a surprisingly long time to open back up.
