Anyone under 18 can receive free meals through Utah Community Action‘s free curbside meal program. If you haven’t heard about their program and their positive impact providing meals to our children, you will right now. And the need for feeding our kids was always there, but with the COVID-19 situation and quarantine, keeping kids from schools and Head Start programs, the increase in economic hardships due to lowered wages, furloughs and lay-offs, the need has only been amplified.

But kids going hungry is something that should never happen, not here, and not now. Utah Community Action is serving up nutritious and fresh food, including fruit and veggies to supply: breakfast, lunch and a snack. Cartons of fresh milk are given as well. For babies and small children: powder formula, baby food, wet wipes and diapers (At each pick-up location, they are asking for donations for those items in particular.)
Picking up is as easy as, driving up. Once curbside, parents/caretakers indicate how many meals are needed by holding up fingers.
For babies and small children: powder formula, baby food, wet wipes and diapers (At each pick-up location, they are asking for donations for those items in particular.)
From the UCA’s South Salt Lake Head Start pick up location a message was shared from a family’s curbside experience, “THANK YOU for doing this, it’s our activity and outing for the day. We get bathed and dressed and ready to go get lunch. Then we come back home or stop at a park and eat it. It has made all the difference in the world for us and it’s what we look forward to each day.”
“The first is that we’re now at 8 locations, with the Grantsville and Tooele locations removed due to alternatives available very nearby. The second is that we’re no longer able to accept volunteers per county and city guidance. We are still welcoming donations for baby essentials (wipes, formula, baby food, etc.). Currently, Magna is the most utilized. Yesterday alone that site distributed over 300 meals.”
Fresh prepared veggies and fruits are included in these curbside meals.
Packed and ready to be picked up by families in our community.
Thank you Utah Community Action and all those who are serving our community!!

Doki Doki is one of Salt Lake City’s most authentic Japanese bakeries. And the authenticity shows through their delicately handcrafted pastries and cakes. Plus- fluffy pancakes, can it get any better? ⠀

People used to say a group of hobbits smoked their pipe weed and padded around on their furry feet in this little cul de sac off 1300 East near Westminster. Others claimed a family of Little People lived there and would chase away outsiders and curiosity-seekers who happened in.⠀
⠀
But, actually, the eccentric street of tiny houses are on a wooded lot once owned by George Allen, a doctor and animal lover (he was instrumental in founding @hoglezoo and @tracyaviary) He and his family lived in the log cabin and rented out the little houses to students or anyone who wanted to live in such a small space.⠀

Holding back tears, the owner of our beloved Himalayan Kitchen, Surya Bastakoti, told @fox13now that they "might go out of business" ⠀
⠀
Himalayan Kitchen has long been one of our favorite local restaurants. A trusty go-to for lunch or after work drinks and a heart-warming dinner. A place to bring out-of-towners (veg and vegan friendly) for a special experience only found here in SLC. Always filling, with a true sense of nourishment in every bite. Food to feel good about.
EVERYTHING on their menu is full of flavor and authenticity. Himalayan Kitchen’s cuisine is required to be authentic because it’s a gathering place for the Salt Lake City Nepali and the local climbing community. They know Nepal.⠀
⠀
COVID-19 has completely devastated our local restaurant community—these are our friends and family. Help them out. If you have the means, order something yummy for NYE dinner and support Himalayan Kitchen or any of your favorite local restaurants. ⠀

Here's one from our upcoming Jan/Feb issue out on stands in just a few days. We hope you’ll grab a copy and enjoy every moment of reading it.
Mary photobombs Lisa Barlow at the premiere party for Real Housewives of Salt Lake. Below is a snippet from Mary's last editor's letter:
"It’s all a little crazy.
Sometime in 2020, the world stopped making sense for a lot of us. Between one of the ugliest election cycles the U.S. has ever been through and the most mysterious disease most of us have ever experienced, normal was canceled. We can’t get together with friends, hug our loved ones, be in the room with them when they die. But somehow we have to go on, right? Somehow we have to continue to work and love and laugh. This issue of Salt Lake magazine holds a lot of frivolity, the main one being an extremely silly TV show, The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. There I am in a pink fur coat in a car with our cover housewife, Lisa Barlow and her boys."
Pick up our Jan/Feb issue at your local grocer and read the full letter. ❤️

There was never a time there wasn’t Mary Malouf. Until now. Today, Mary died when a rogue wave swept her out to sea off the coast of Northern California. Only she – perhaps the world’s foremost lover of Bronte, BBC mysteries and, of course, Moby Dick – would appreciate such poetic drama.
“I know not all that may be coming, but be it what it will, I'll go to it laughing.” — Mary Brown Malouf. Ooops. Herman Mellville....
