After driving through Utah during the night, we ran some errands the next day and then went to the Dinosaur Museum.

We’re all partial to museums and definitely dinosaur fans, so we had a blast! The museum gave enough info on the process of dinosaur hunting and local geology that we could pick out several features on our own, later.

Here’s the reason why it’s named Spin Cafe–a seven foot statue of interpretive modern metal art. All the pieces spin! I know it’s pretty trippy, eh!

Dinner, Redux: Spin Cafe July 13, 2009

Filed under: Uncategorized — novellae @ 1:27 AM

Unfortunately, the Spicy Lady failed to satisfy our appetites. We headed across the street (literally) to Spin Cafe. It was the weirdest thing–first, the cafe looked closed, so we went back to our car. The manager then chased us down in the parking lot to tell us that the restaurant was not actually closed. So we obliged her and went inside. Then, our waitstaff seemed half drunk and completely tired, and didn’t actually know what was on the menu. Consequently, nothing seemed very appetizing. Contrast that with the table across the room, where another waitstaff was working, knew all the off-menu specials and beer pairings. Yeah. It was an experience and a half.

In the end, we got a Wasatch and a Squatters. For being a heavily Mormon state where laws about drinking are about as confusing as, well, something very confusing, these Utahns sure can brew some beer!

Care for a kangaroo quesadilla? Yep, that’s how the kangaroo meat came!

Sylv definitely dug the kangaroo con queso!

The Spicy Lady: KANGAROO MEAT! July 13, 2009

Well, the food wasn’t what we expected, but there was one upside: we got to try kangaroo meat! It was pretty moist, tasted faintly like liver, and is something I could definitely dig on again!
