God bless the broken road that lead me straight to....

My flatmates and I set out on a narrow way, just last night
Hoping we would find frozen yogurt at a Maverick store
We got lost a time or two
Visited four stores and kept pushing through
We couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to Redwood Road

The first store we visited (300 S and 500 E) just had vanilla. We were not willing to settle for that so we continued our journey. The second store (300 S 900 E) had cheesecake but no other solid flavors. Personally cheesecake without another flavor mixed in is no good. The third store (600 S by the Red Lion) didn't have a yogurt machine. But they did have the signs advertising frozen yogurt...can you say false advertising. We finally found the best frozen yogurt ever at the fourth store (N. Temple & Redwood Rd). It is still September but they had my favorite flavor...PUMPKIN. I swirled the pumpkin with vanilla and it tasted like Pumpkin Pie with cool whip on top. After my first bite I decided that it was worth the long road. I'll keep my fingers crossed that they keep it through November. If anyone wants to join me for a little pumpkin yogurt, please call. If you have forgotten how much I love pumpkin, you can be reminded here.

The Blue Lemon

I heard about a new restaurant and wanted to try it out. It was a true culinary delight. The restaurant is The Blue Lemon in Highland, Utah. I seriously had a hard time deciding what to eat. The entrees were fabulous and the desserts were irresistible. Check out the menu to see for yourself.


The ambiance in the restaurant was great. It is a great place to catch up with friends, especially friends that will share a bite or two of what they order. I finally decided on the Chipolte Pineapple BBQ Brisket sandwich. Holly got the butternut squash soup (aka Autumn in a bowl). Jenn got the Grilled Balsamic Chicken Panini and sweet potato fries.


The desserts were just as great as the entrees. I got a lemon shaped sugar cookie, Holly got a brownie and Jenn got a lemon meringue tart. The Blue Lemon is definitely in my top 5 favorite restaurants. If you find yourself anywhere near Highland or Alpine stop by and see for yourself.

Utah Marathon Relay

Last Saturday I ran the Utah Marathon Relay. I heard about the race in a random email and was intrigued. To be a PART of a marathon sounded fun and to experience 1/5 of the pain of a marathon sounded fabulous. So I organized a team. Our team was made up of 5 runners, we each ran 5.2 miles. Here are our times:

1. Me 0:44:55.
2. Chelsea 0:45:35.
   
3. Alex 0:51:44.
   
4. Caitlin 0:49:24.
   
5. Christian 0:54:58
   

Our total time was 04:04:48. I have to say I had the easiest leg of the race. I was up first so the air was cooler and I was ready to run. I think each leg got progressively harder. Kudos to Christian for taking the last leg of the race. He stopped to call an ambulance for a runner that had passed out on the course and still had an awesome time. Thanks team! It was an awesome experience. I hope we can repeat it again in a year. We will need to repeat the Mimi's Cafe stop post race too.
