Green with Envy

I've been posting a lot of pictures of our awesome weather (minus the rain the past few weeks), and trips to the beach lately. But there are things that we miss that even the California weather doesn't make up for. To all our Utah friends and family, please take some time to enjoy the things we miss so much. In no particular order:

Hawaiian pizza at the Pizzeria is fabulous. Why doesn't everyone put green pepper on a Hawaiian? Yum. And the deluxe salad is not complete without thousand island and blue cheese dressing. I am salivating.

Recently, there have been a few Cafe Rio's opened in Vegas, which is a 4 hour schlep that we make every so often for the weekend, but even when we get there, Kirt doesn't particularly like it. I need one closer to go to lunch with my girls during the day. I know there are recipe's floating around for the pork, I just have failed to even try. Can't a girl just go out and get a sweet pork enchilada?
The Burger Bar - nothing like it. We can't find anyone that can make a shake like the BB. We recently found a little stand with marshmallow flavoring, but still a dim comparison to the old favorite. And not to be all food related, there are other things in this photo that we treasure. Our families and friends. I had to narrow it down to a few pics, but if you see any of our family around, give them a hug for us.
We love our families so much and are so glad they're all so willing to make the trip out to see us so often. And whenever we make it into town, everyone makes a special effort to get together. There you have it, I'm jealous.
(If Kirt were writing, he'd probably mention the snowboarding and sledding, but he's not posting and just thinking about it makes me cold.)
