I met Chloe Jacobs at our neighborhood’s Literary Guild event. One of my neighbors and friends hosted the event at her home. She is a very well-known organist. She even played the organ in Israel. She is one amazing accomplished world-cultured woman and I am so blessed to know her. She is well into her 80’s and I pray she will remain with us for years to come. Her husband turned their garage into her organ room and opened it up to the living room so that an audience can enjoy a full organ with the pipes and all. It is an amazing site to see and to experience the depth of the sound from that organ.

Oh my… I discovered a hidden gem! Thai Neighbor Cuisine just made the top of my list of the best Thai restaurants in Provo Utah and Utah County! Delicious is an understatement! My visit was nothing short of exceptional, and I’m excited to share my experience with you. Finding the Best Dish at Thai Neighbor Cuisine 1 in Provo Utah Intrigued by their promise of authentic Thai flavors, I decided to try their famous Massaman Curry with Tofu. It’s loved for its creamy texture and aromatic spices. It didn’t disappoint! All their curries are made with coconut milk. My granddaughter ordered the Red Curry with Beef. This was also very tasty. You can specify your spice from 1 to 5, 1 is mild, 5 is spicy. We like spicy. We also enjoyed their Pad Thai with vegetables, a dish I’m usually cautious ab...

Where Was Fry Sauce Invented? Fry sauce, once called “pink sauce,” began in a small burger place in Provo during the 1950s. Two friends, Max Peay and Ron S. Taylor, who worked at an Arctic Circle franchise, mixed ketchup and mayo for fun. People loved it so much that it replaced regular ketchup. The sauce got really famous, and someone from Arctic Circle noticed it and took it to their main office. Even though Arctic Circle said it was theirs, everyone knew it began in that tiny Provo restaurant. Ron’s family later changed their place into Stan’s Drive-in, and the sauce continued to be super popular. Other burger spots in Utah, like Iceberg Drive Inn and Crown Burgers, started using it, too! The whole Arctic Circle story began in 1941 when Don Carlos Edwards opened his first restaurant ...

Have you ever been to a ramen place in Provo Utah? It feels like going back to when I lived in Japan, where ramen was a big part of everyday life and culture.

I was so happy to find the Provo Recreation Center when I moved to Provo. This is a state-of-the-art facility that feels safe and welcoming. I don’t like those gyms where it feels like a “meat market”. You know… those gyms where everyone is a bodybuilder, good-looking, and skinny? Yeah… not for me.The swimming pools are amazing. I love to take my grandkids there to play on the water-slides. The Provo Recreation Center has a huge indoor and outdoor pool areas. One of the pools is a lap pool, which is separated off from the other pools. This is super convenient for people who want to do laps for exercise and not be interrupted with kids splashing around, etc.The aesthetics at the Provo Rec Center are visually appealing. I love the combination of light woods with the metals. The decor is r...

My love affair with Korean cuisine began years ago when I visited South Korea. The streets were busy, with all the tempting food stalls lining every corner. I tried different dishes such as bibimbap and kimchi pancakes. But nothing compares to the Korean BBQ I had with my family! We’d sit around a grill, cooking marinated meats until they were just right. Then we’d wrap them in crisp lettuce and eat them with other yummy side dishes. It was so much fun! When I returned to Provo, Utah, I craved that same Korean BBQ. So, what did I do? I started looking for the best Korean BBQ places nearby. I found some great ones in and near Provo, and I can’t wait to share my favorite places with you! What are the Best Korean BBQ Restaurants in Provo Utah? 1.
