Farmer's Market, Food Network, And Fries

As I may have mentioned, last Saturday was Mike and I's second wedding anniversary. We decided to go to Salt Lake for the afternoon, since we have already explored every nook and cranny of Ogden. Our original plan was to stop by a certain book store that we both like and then get lunch at a place that we saw on Food Network. So easily influenced by t.v. are we. So we headed out to the book store without any address because Mike "knows where it is". Well, after driving around Salt Lake for what seemed like a long time, and becoming increasingly frustrated, we couldn't find the book store. Someday, Mike might decide to look up the address even if he "knows where it is". Even though we couldn't find the book store, luck was on our side, because in all our driving we drove right past the SLC Farmer's Market, and we were like, "Let's go there!" We finally found parking in a lot with a very unusual payment system. Basically, you shove $3 into a slot that has the number of your parking space on it. Neither Mike nor I knew how they would tell if we didn't pay, but being the wimps that we were, we paid anyway.

The farmer's market was enjoyable if not for the VERY hot weather. It probably wasn't too hot in some people's books, but I felt melted by the end of it. After the farmer's market we got back in the car to find the place that we saw on the Food Network. Unlike Mike, I had printed out an address and map for the place. However, after several minutes of driving around in our car, which, by the way, has very poor air conditioning, we realized that the restaurant we were looking for was directly across the street from the farmer's market. Ok, so maybe having a map isn't always helpful. But at least we found it. I'm glad we did find it, because this place has the most amazing homemade waffles and fries you have ever had. Mike ordered a large fry which should be called a "So you think you can eat this gigantic serving of fries by yourself?" Even though I had a waffle with delicious sliced peachs on top, I also ate a fair amount of Mike's fries, and we still couldn't finish them. But ohhhhhh were they good! They were so good, it almost made me not mind that my hair got incredibly tangled on the way home because we had to drive with all the windows down due to the impotent air conditioning.
