POPLAR STREET PUB - 242 South 200 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84101-1801; 801-364-1061
Open for lunch!
Mouth-watering. Crisp. Flavorful. Addictive!
The Garlic Fries at the Poplar Street Pub are the best fries around! Pair them with the French Dip or Grilled Chicken Sandwich and you'll be in heaven! I had the French Dip; toasty soft bread that sops but won't sog with the au jous, mounds of delicious beef, stretchy cheese... it had me picking onions out just for the sake of the onions! The whole thing is portion perfect; fills you up and leaves you with some to go! *wink
Whether you sit in the air conditioned ambiance of the bar or opt for the shaded, misted patio, you can't go wrong. I took a booth in the bar and enjoyed being able to see the sun but not having to be in it.
The service is excellent. The ladies who helped serve me were attentive without hovering, had great things to say about the food (she was going to order the French Dip, but had it last night!) and were helpful when I needed to use the facilities.
For those so inclined, the Poplar Street Pub has 6 local beers on tap, and plenty of other drinks to suit your mood.
They are even "Green-minded": Stickers on the paper towel dispensers remind you that "These come from trees". I used half as much as I normally would, and got to feel good about it!
You should plan a party, go for lunch, order a pizza to go!

Crazy Dreams...
Have you ever had trouble sleeping and you keep waking and going back to sleep? When I do, I get some of the most interesting dreams!
I had one where a bug turned into a Transformer (decepticon of course). Then there were people who were transforming and it was because the allspark had affected mechanical implants like pacemakers or the like... I have not even seen the second movie, but I did watch an episode of Eureka recently where they had an android sherriff...
I had a dream I died. It was a beautifully landscaped park that looked like a cross between the red hills of southern Utah and Memorial Park in SLC. I was wandering around in the middle of an orchestra. I think I had a heart attack, but here's the fun part. I was a ghost! I didn't wake up! I wandered around a hospital where some people could see me, but I was still incorporeal. (I think Nurse Roberts from Scrubs was there) Then... it was like a big house with people I knew there. Not my family, some friends, and some friends I haven't seen in a long time that were like family. One of them seemed upset with me... One of my friends looked more like she had in Jr. High and was wearing inch thick - literally - glasses. Another thing that struck me was that even before I died, throughout everything in this dream there were children frolicking and playing, day or night. Like they were invisible sprites or spirits. Weird.
Well, not the weirdest I have ever had (nothing can compare to the Amish man on a stage that turned into a giant dancing turkey!) but still interesting.

Something I wrote today by the water machine...
The old lady slowly brought the glass to her lips. She'd filled once, sipped and spat out the first cup claiming it was too cold. The second fill was meticulously orchestrated using both hot and cold water intermittently.
"Ah," she cooed as she drew a guzzle at a time, "perfect room temperature!"
I scoffed quietly and she didn't seem to notice. I would have laughed, but she would have viewed that as bad manners.
"It's better for the digestion, you know. No shock to the system either way."
I marvelled at how much joy she could derive from a simple cup of water, both pitying and envying her for it.
*****
I guess the people in my head wanted some 'outside time' lol.

Some Unfinished Business
So I went to the Sugarhouse Arts Festival a couple of weeks ago and have some interesting sites/products/people I said I would post:
www.wix.com/marianapalova/MarianaPalova
The above has some amazing digital art! I loved the way the graphics would bleed and come through the pictures!
http://www.apronsbyjulie.com/
This is one where the ladies make old 50's style inspired aprons. They were so adorable! They reminded me of when a friend of mine in high school tried to start an 'apron fad'!
http://www.mxwclothing.com/
This one was very interesting. They have pants made from bamboo. They are one size fits all and maybe a little pricey, but I like the asian inspired style and they are supposed to last a LONG time. They had some other silk dresses, flowy feminine shirts etc...
https://www.joinmda.org/2009telethonexeclockup/miranda
This one is yet again a plug for my MDA Bail site. Please help me raise money for kid's to go to camp! I have a bail of $2400 and have gotten $30 so far. If you can't help monetarily, please repost and tell others about it! Thank you!
And lastly, I have a sort of 'tip' I suppose. Look into this:
http://www.yourbuzzirkteam.com/?gclid=CNz5vKDb2psCFR0Sagoda2TY_w
I went to one meeting last night where I met the owner, he was showing off his phone... I have a good feeling about it and want to get in now. You're invited and encouraged to join me!
God Bless!

If I went to jail, would you bail me out?!
https://www.joinmda.org/2009telethonexeclockup/miranda
That's right. I am going to jail 'for good' in August, but you can help!
The phone call was for my co-worker, but I got involved and decided it souded like a great cause and could be lots of fun to joke about! I have to 'raise my bail', so check out the link! Loves!
If we all give a little, it helps a lot!

Our Service: Save Souls
The Lord emphasized the worth of each man or woman, youth or child when He declared:
“The worth of souls is great in the sight of God. …
“And if it so be that you should labor all your days in crying repentance unto this people, and bring, save it be one soul unto me, how great shall be your joy with him in the kingdom of my Father!
“And now, if your joy will be great with one soul that you have brought unto me into the kingdom of my Father, how great will be your joy if you should bring many souls unto me!” (D&C 18:10, 15–16).
*******
I have been struggling with this lately. My own testimony and strength have not been so great, but I love my friends and all the people I know and want for them to find the greatest happiness. We talked in church on Sunday about how so many think that missionary work is 'not for them'. Or that the gospel and all that comes with it is 'not for' their friends. We don't want to be labeled churchy, preachy, prudish or otherwise 'too religious'... but when we know the truth, is it not the best to share it? To be bold and proclaim what we DO know, even if it is not everything?
I lost a relative recently. I didn't have a chance to get to know her. I wonder if she will be there when I make it to the other side... And for those that she belonged to, I pray that she will. I make a picture in my mind's eye of those that have passed, all of them together, happy and waiting for us. Praying for us to make the right choices here. I don't want to let them down. I don't want to lose them, or for them to lose me. We are one big beautiful family! I just want to go home!
