Friday's Fabulous Find

Life is crazy my friends. Crazy busy when it is filled with laughter, friends, work, church, music, and love. But it is a good kind of crazy. One that I love and wouldn't trade. Yes, it means that some things don't get done and that I will always have a someday list filled with items that I might get to one day. But, through it all I find that living life to the fullest is the best way to do it even if it is crazy. And part of living life to the fullest for me is experiencing new things. It is discovering what is out there that is good in this world and enjoying it while I can. And that is why I like Friday Finds so much. It gives me an excuse to go and find new things and to try new things. It gives me an excuse to discover.

And just what did I discover this last weekend, you ask? Well I discovered two very enjoyable things that I would like to share with you. The first one is a restaurant. Now I had been to this place before, but I had never actually eaten there. I had only had a glass of their signature lemonade. Which was delicious and I enjoyed it at the time.  After that one time being there I have wanted to go back and Friday gave me a reason too. Which is why when my friend suggested we go there for dinner I was happy to agree. The restaurant is called the

Blue Lemon

Phone: 801-328-BLUE

This restaurant has a variety of dishes that one can choose form. You can go for a fresh salad, a sandwich or a gourmet entree'. They also have a variety of sides which includes soup and fries. Plus they have a bakery with delicious looking treats as well.  For dinner I choose to get the Artichoke and Tomato Chicken.  And oh was it good. Not only was it served rather quickly, but it looked great and tasted even better. I also had a taste of my friends Butternut Squash Soup and will definitely be going back to get it for myself one day. Overall, I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed this place. The food was delicious and the waiters were friendly and attentive.

My second Friday find came right after dinner when we headed over to Abravanel Hall for the concert that was preforming that night.  The concert we saw was The King's Singers. Now, I have not really listened to them before. I had heard some of their songs but I don't own any of their music and I had never been to a concert of theirs. After having spent the night in joyful awe, I have them on my list to see again. Needless to say, I enjoyed the show. The Utah Symphony did an amazing job and The King's Singers surpassed my expectations by far. I loved their rendition of the story Wind in the Willows, and their performance of Over the Rainbow. I will definitely be buying some of their music. If you would like to check them out and see what they are all about visit their website at http://www.kingssingers.com  You can also check them out on iTunes. I truly recommend that you do. But beware, you just might fall in love with their music too.
