AST WEEK MY SISTER AND brother-in-law came to town from Portland, Ore., to celebrate their daughter’s 3rd birthday.

While they were here, the whole family decided to join my mom, a season ticket holder, at the Aggies’ first home football game of the season. Being huge Oregon Ducks fans, my sister and her husband were a little apprehensive about having to watch the Aggies, who boasted a 4-8 record last season, but we were able to convince them to join the fun with a pre-game tailgate party in the parking lot.

To say my brother-in-law — let’s call him “Steve” — is a huge sports fan is a major understatement. So after we’d filled up on brats, and found ourselves only about five rows up on about the 50-yard line, we got pretty excited and Steve proceeded to get really into the game (especially since we

were slaughtering Idaho). Eventually we were yelling and cheering and, I’ll admit, taunting the other team just a little bit.

And then the unthinkable happened.

Steve. Got. Shushed.

At a football game.

We almost couldn’t believe it, and Steve will never trust us again when we promise that Utah sports and activities can actually be fun. According to at least part of the stadium crowd, you’re not supposed to yell at a football game, and, had we followed their example, we, too, would have been sitting in silence with glazed looks on our faces and asking people to “please, be quiet; I’m trying to watch a live football game here.”

It’s a good thing Steve was there to keep everyone else awake. I just hope that next time he’ll respect the rules of football game etiquette and keep his mouth shut.

Have a great weekend, everyone!

Pet: Luna From: Annalisa Paul Why she’s so lovable: “We adopted Luna from the Cache Humane Society in March. Since then she has stolen the hearts of everyone in the family, including our older cat, Buddy. Luna loves to run, cuddle, play with her catnip mouse and wrestle with her best friend, Buddy, who has gained some spunk from these new games.

Buddy follows Luna around, watching after her, and even gives her baths! Luna is a sweetheart, and we couldn’t have found a better cat. Thank you so much, Cache Humane.” (In the photo, Luna is on the right and Buddy is on the left.)

The OLRC production is directed by Adrianne Moore, a faculty member in USU’s theater arts department.

The style of “Always ...

Patsy Cline” alternates between Seger’s hilarious monologues, characterized by her strong Texas persona, and Cline’s miraculous vocal ability, giving the show an extraordinarily intimate connection between the two characters and audience, Moore said.

USU professor featured on national TV

TAH STATE U University professor Joseph Tainter is among the experts featured in the National Geographic Channel television production “Collapse: Based on the Book by Jared Diamond.” The program premieres during primetime Saturday, Sept. 18, on NGC and will air again Sept. 20 and 27.

Based on Diamond’s

2004 bestseller, “Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed,” the NGC Tainter program travels 200 years into the future to imagine what the world would be like if civilization as we know

it collapsed. Diamond, Tainter and others discuss the triggers that cause societies to topple.

Diamond asserts that societies fail when overwhelmed by invasions, epidemics, environmental disaster and the like.

A faculty member in USU’s Department of Environment and Society, Tainter said societies become increasingly

complex as they respond to challenges. In doing so, they increase their consumption of energy.

During the past century, fossil fuel has provided relatively inexpensive and abundant stores of energy and our civilization has flourished. But have we become dependent on an energy source that can’t sustain us? That’s the key question, said Tainter.

A cappella group Eclipse coming to Dayton Arts Center Increasing public interest and HE WEST SIDE performance opportunities T Performing Arts Comled to the recording of their mittee will present the band Eclipse at 7 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 25, at the Dahle Performing Arts Center, 626 N.

Tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for students and $30 per family, and available at Stokes Marketplace in Preston, the Preston High School office, West Side High School office and West Side School District office.

Eclipse is a vocal group of six creating explosive sound, driving rhythms and lush harmonies using only one instrument: the human mouth.

The six members of Eclipse originally met while performing in a public relations/ambassador-oriented group that was part of the department of programs and entertainment at Utah State University. They began by arranging their own vocal covers of popular songs and performing them on campus and in the Logan area.

first album, “Once,” which was released in April 2001.

Following the release, the band’s main focus shifted to gaining exposure. They auditioned and were accepted to compete in the Northwest Regional Harmony Sweepstakes Competition. They took first place and were featured at the National Competition in May 2001 with the eight other regional winners from around the nation.

In Utah, concerts and contacts continued and relationships were developed as Eclipse began performing with local artists such as Colors, John Schmidt, Peter Breinholt and Kurt Bestor.

In 2008 Eclipse released their fifth album, “Grateful Praise.” From this album, “All Creatures of Our God and King” received the CASA award for best recorded sacred song and the album was runner-up for the best sacred album of the year.

Meet artist Caroline Lavoie

aroline Lavoie is one of the featured artists participating in the fall Gallery Walk. “Landscapes of the American West” will be on display at Fuhriman’s Framing & Fine Art from through Oct. 8.

Lavoie’s show examines the process involved in drawing on site: seeing, interpreting and internalizing the qualities and variations of the landscape to facilitate a form of interaction with the viewer. The themes in this exhibit are interrelated: from desert landscapes to landscapes of water/rivers, to winter and mountain landscapes; from very quick sketches to longer ones;

C

and from the large-scale to smaller details in the landscape.

These sketches were drawn directly on site in order to capture the relationship between the artist/designer and the landscape. In its representation, a drawing can describe the landscape in all its four dimensions as a moment in space and time. Thus, drawing is not only a mode of representation but also one of perception, interpretation and reflection. As a form of analysis, a sketch can convey the sense and essence of place.

Film New this week “Easy A” Rated PG-13 ★★★ High school teenager Olive Penderghast (Emma Stone) breezes through phrases like “terminal illogical inexactitude,” makes elaborate Google Earth metaphors and does it all without arrogance or even an upturned eyebrow. She is, in short, way out of any teenage boy’s league. Olive accidentally develops a reputation as an “easy” girl after — to satiate her badgering best friend Rhiannon (Aly Michalka) — she lies about losing her virginity. The rumor, spread by the school’s resident religious zealot Marianne (Amanda Bynes), moves at the speed of Twitter. Like a young actor, Olive embraces the role, even pinning a red “A’’ to her provocative outfits in an ode to Hester Prynne. For all its Hawthorne quoting, “Easy A” is clearly the stepchild of John Hughes. Will Gluck’s stylish direction of Bert V. Royal’s nimble, word-stuffed script results in a whip-smart film.

It’s a terrifically deadpan, lively

performance from Stone, but the adults nearly steal the film. With Stanley Tucci, Patricia Clarkson, Thomas Haden Church and Lisa Kudrow. PG-13 for mature thematic elements involving teen sexuality, language and some drug material. 93 min.

“Devil” Rated PG-13 (N/A) A review for “Devil” was not available from The Associated Press. In lieu, please accept this synopsis from www.MovieWeb.com: “(‘Devil’ is) a supernatural thriller based on an original story by M. Night Shyamalan.

Chris Messina is set to play the lead role of Bowden, a soberedup homicide detective. No other plot details have been revealed.”

PG-13 for violence and disturbing images, thematic material and some language including sexual references. 80 min.

“Alpha and Omega” Rated PG (18%) A review for “Alpha and Omega” was not available from The Associated Press. In lieu, please accept this synopsis from www.RottenTomatoes.com:

“Hitchhiking, truck stops, angry bears, prickly porcupines and a golfing goose with a duck caddy.

Just ask Kate and Humphrey, two wolves who are trying to get home after being taken by park rangers and shipped halfway across the country. Humphrey is an Omega wolf, whose days are about quick wit, snappy one-liners and hanging with his motley crew of fun-loving wolves and video-gaming squirrels. Kate is an Alpha: duty, discipline and sleek Lara Croft eye-popping moves fuel her fire. Humphrey’s motto: make ’em laugh. Kate’s motto: I’m the boss. And they have a thousand miles to go.

Back home rival wolf packs are on the march and conflict is brewing. Only Kate and Humphrey can restore the peace.

But first, they have to survive

each other.” PG for rude humor and some mild action. 88 min.

Still playing “Takers” Rated PG-13 (30%) A review for “Takers” was not available from The Associated Press. In lieu, please accept this synopsis from www.RottenTomatoes. com: “’Takers,’ directed by John Luessenhop, revolves around a notorious group of criminals (Idris Elba, Paul Walker, T.I., Chris Brown, Hayden Christensen and Michael Ealy) who continue to baffle police by pulling off perfectly executed bank robberies. They are in and out like clockwork, leaving no evidence behind and laying low in between heists. But when they

attempt to pull off one last job with more money at stake than ever before, the crew may find its plans interrupted by a hardened detective (Matt Dillon) who is hell-bent on solving the case.

PG-13 for intense sequences of violence and action, a sexual situation/partial nudity and some language. 107 min.

“Resident Evil: Afterlife” Rated PG-13 (21%) A review for “Resident Evil: Afterlife” was not available from The Associated Press. In lieu, please accept this synopsis from www.RottenTomatoes.com: “In a world ravaged by a virus infection, turning its victims into the Undead, Alice continues on her journey to find survivors and lead them to safety. Her deadly battle with the Umbrella

“Flipped” Rated PG ★★ Rob Reiner’s latest has been billed as a return to form for the director and a companion piece to his “Stand By Me.” Like that film, “Flipped” is a comingof-age ode to youth cloaked in mid-century Americana (the early 1960s). It’s nostalgic for nostalgia. There’s charm here and some honest observations of adolescence. But there’s also a willful, cloying datedness to the movie — overly stuffed with period detail like an “Archie” comic strip. It tracks a boy (Callan McAuliffe) and a girl (Madeline Carroll) from 7 years old to 13, and all the fluctuating emotions in between. The strength of “Flipped” is in its trueness to humdrum adolescence. It’s filled not with extravagant dramas, but instead portrays how seemingly minor happenings take on grand meaning: the tragic tearing down of the cherished sycamore, the terrifying formality of a sit-down dinner, the frightening awkwardness of nearly everything. But it lacks both the darkness and comedy of “Stand By Me” and its device of flipping every scene to show both kids’ perspective drags the film. With Aidan Quinn and Anthony Edwards as the fathers, and John Mahoney as a grandfather. PG for language and some thematic material. 90 min.

‘Town’ a by-the-book heist film

T

HE HEIST FILM HAS

been around ever since storytelling met celluloid.

It’s an age-old tale. The trick is, can you expound on the heist film to make it more than just, well, a heist film? “The Town” would like you to think it does.

We’re notified at the beginning that Charlestown, in Boston, has produced more bank and armored car robbers than any other city in the nation. Bank robbing is a family business and they’ve gotten pretty good at pulling off some elaborate heists. Doug MacRay (Ben Affleck, who also directed) is the ring leader and the quintessential heist film protagonist. An anti-hero of sorts, MacRay finds himself robbing people blind, but deep down is a good guy.

Like every other movie dealing with stealing large amounts of money with teams of people, Doug wants this to be his last job. He wants to leave the business of bank robbing — “This is my last job!” Yeah, we’ve never heard that before. Doug’s team is made up of a couple dispensable street thugs we care little about and his close friend, James Coughlin (Jeremy Renner, “The Hurt Locker”). James is the requisite hot-head of the group, who more often than not finds himself responsible for the heat the team is getting from the feds.

Leading the FBI task force put together to track these guys down is Special Agent Adam Frawley (Jon Hamm, “Mad Men”), who will stop at nothing to bring these guys in.

During a robbery gone slightly wrong at the beginning, Doug and his crew are forced to take a hostage in case the cops catch up with them during their getaway.

Claire Keesey (Rebecca Hall, “The Prestige”) is the bank’s manager; they blindfold her and make sure she never sees their faces, and take her driver’s license so they know where she lives. Doug follows her, bumps into her at a laundry mat and strikes up a conversation. They go out and eventually a relationship forms — all while Doug is trying to find out what she knows

The Reel Place

“The Town” Rated R

and what she’s told the cops. Of course, he didn’t count on falling in love with her; no one ever counts on that happening.

Doug’s character is completely flawed. Don’t get me wrong; Affleck is great here, and his writing and directing are top-notch, but he tries to make Doug a tortured character that’s hard to buy.

When Claire inevitably finds out who Doug really is, he convinces her to ask him any question she wants and he’ll answer truthfully.

She asks him if he’s ever killed anyone; Doug answers with a

resounding “No!” This is hard to believe since much of the movie shows Doug and his crew unloading automatic gunfire on numerous crowds of policemen hunched behind their cruisers with innocent bystanders always nearby.

We’re supposed to feel for Doug, like he grew up in the wrong neighborhood and bank robbing was in his blood. The movie wants us to root for this bank robber with a heart of gold or otherwise the movie falls flat and lifeless. Maybe I’ve just grown tired of the sympathetic bank rob-

ber character, or maybe Doug is just a moron and expects us all to buy the crap he’s shoveling.

“The Town” has some brilliant action scenes that are extremely intense. It has great, and at times hilarious, writing. But when it comes to characterization it’s completely by the book as far as heist films go. There’s no surprise here, and you can see the clichéd ending coming a mile away. It’s hard to root for a guy who’s not only so contradictory, but also so generic.

Me personally, I just love le kids. I have a lot of unger siblings. I rememr when I was little, I players were so cool and

n to have them come ed to see them, because I

know they are excited to be here, too.”

Activities took place before the Aggies’ game, during halftime and when the match was over.

Those activities included mini clinics put on by UYSA technical director Greg Maas and assistant technical director Rick Flores.

“The camps and clinics are just to give an opportunity for all players at all levels the chance to come out and enjoy themselves and experience coaches that coach at a higher level,” Flores said.

“And just have fun. The big key is for them to enjoy themselves at the end of the day and leave here with, ‘I’ve learned a new game’ or ‘I’ve learned a new move.’”

And when the kids have fun, Flores is more than satisfied.

“I enjoy seeing them enjoy it,” said Flores, who recently moved to Utah from California. “If I see them laughing and fighting for the ball and learning something, then I get a lot of satisfaction out of that.”

The mini clinics took place prior to USU’s game against Colorado College and were held on the football team’s practice field.

The up-and-coming soccer players had the opportunity to participate in dribbling drills, passing drills and twoon-two activities.

“And then we do a game called ‘get

Schultz’s favorite drill was the dribbling one.

“You go around all these cones and if you touch one, (the guy) said that you blow up or something,” Schultz explained of the drill.

Schultz, who has been playing soccer since she was in kindergarten, said she is a good dribbler and she didn’t touch any of the cones.

What was Jones’ favorite part of the activities?

“Playing with my friends and playing soccer,” said Jones, whose father, Chris, is an assistant men’s basketball coach at USU. With 40,000 members, the UYSA — an affiliate of U.S. Youth Soccer — is the largest soccer association in the Beehive State.

The UYSA has been going around to different university campuses throughout the month of September, which is National Youth Soccer Month, putting on these camps. “(Greg and Rick) go around to these different groups and they run clinics for them,” UYSA executive director Andrew Hiatt said. “They help them out, get the coaching better so we can start with the

small kids here and grow them all the way into our premier players and Olympic players, and hopefully send them to college and even Major League Soccer.

That’s kind of our mission.”

This was UYSA’s first visit to USU. SCSL competition director Allan Haycock was glad to help put on the event.

“We were approached to help put something together up here, so we met with the university and they were superexcited about having us involved,” Haycock said. “So, we went to work organizing, ‘OK, what can we do to help get kids here?’ “... We were super-excited to have Greg and Rick up here to give back to the kids and just have fun.”

During halftime of the USU-Colorado College game, kids had the opportunity to compete against Big Blue.

After the game was over, the Aggies signed autographs for the kids.

“This is so special for our girls,” USU head coach Heather Cairns said. “We try and get out in the community — we do the adopt-a-team program in the spring and it’s just great to give back to the youth of Cache Valley and Utah as a whole. “... We’re really supportive of the state soccer program and to have it come out here and have our girls be able to give back and meet the fans afterward and sign autographs, I think they really take some pride in being good role models.”

Hiatt wants kids of all ages to participate in soccer.

“Soccer is a game for all kids,” Hiatt said. “We want all kids to be busy, get off the video games as much as possible and get out and recreate and play.”

The drying game

I

DON’T KNOW IF IT IS in part due to climate change or just a subconscious desire to get back to the watery world of our gestation, but why is everyone packing H2O now?

Everywhere I look, I see kids to geezers carrying around bottles of water attached to their belts and packs with carabineers like they are off to some expedition through Death Valley. At what point did dehydration become a national fear? There are no statistics to support more dehydration deaths in previous generations. Unless you are lost at sea and have to spend weeks in a lifeboat or are a Bedouin who lost the map to the oasis, dehydration is one of the least likely causes of death. People show up at one-hour business meetings carrying the same water bottle they use for a 12-mile hike.

There is actually fashion sense that accompanies choosing your personal water gear. The clear or multicolored food-grade plastic bottles are so 2005. They are being replaced by the multicolored aluminum bottles that are actually just a throwback to the old Army surplus canteens. If a quart isn’t enough for you, there are hydration packs know as Camelbaks™ that have a style for any occasion. Nothing says “selfsufficiency” like sucking on the nipple end of a plastic tube slung over your shoulder. But really, camelbaks don’t even look good on camels.

Here comes the walking-threemiles-uphill-to-school-in-thesnow moment: When I was 21, I ran an entire 26-mile marathon in 80 percent humidity and only consumed about three small cups of water. I played high school football and we practiced in 90-degree weather for hours and were not allowed to drink water because it was thought to make us sick. OK, that was stupid and now coaches know better. I was just trying to make a point: Most of us lived without carrying personal water supplies and we didn’t dehydrate into human jerky.

On the flip side of dehydration, hyponatremia is becoming more of a problem at athletic events

Slightly Off Center

By Dennis Hinkamp

because, like everything else we do in America, we overcompensate — if a little water is good for you, why not a quart every mile? Well, as people are finding out, just like gin, you can become intoxicated by drinking too much of a good thing. Too much of either can actually kill you.

One change in the right direction is that we are finally beginning to get off the bottled water craze, not because it is ridiculously expensive but because of the mountain of waste all those empty bottles are creating. I just saw a YouTube video today about a guy who is living on a floating island supported by 300,000 empty plastic bottles. It was on YouTube, so you know I’m not making this up.

I really do appreciate that water is an important resource, especially here in the West. I’m just not sure carrying it around like holy water is going to save us.

Dennis Hinkamp would like to remind people that if it weren’t for water, we’d never learn to swim and then we would all drown.

Book explores our relations with animals

By The Associated Press

C

ONSIDER THE cockfighter. Pampered with high-end feed and plenty of room to strut in the sun, these roosters might even get regular massages before the day they are fitted with slashing spurs and thrown into a pit for a barbaric fight to the death.

Now consider the chicken on your plate. There’s a good chance it never saw the sun or sky but was jammed in some dark coop stinking of ammonia.

It may have spent much of its short life in piles of manure because its weak legs could barely support its freakishly plumped body. In the end, it was snatched up, crated, hung upside down and beheaded.

Both fates are gruesome. But really, which abused chicken suffered less: the one involved in an illegal activity or the one that was part of a common — albeit increasingly criticized — agricultural practice?

Hal Herzog doesn’t approve of either activity, but his book, “Some We Love, Some We Hate, Some We Eat: Why It’s So Hard to Think Straight About Animals,” raises the question of why one act can lead to prison and the other to profit. It’s a big understatement to say humanity’s interactions with animals is inconsistent, and this book explores those quirks and possible reasons behind them. In Herzog’s words, he wants to examine why dogs can eat dinner at the table in some countries, but be eaten for dinner in others.

It’s a fun read, though readers expecting a clever, new presentation of facts like in a Malcolm Gladwell book might be

HARDCOVER FICTION 1. “Freedom” by Jonathan Franzen 2. “The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest” by S. Larsson 3. “Dark Peril” by Christine Feehan 4. “Lost Empire” by Clive Cussler 5. “The Postcard Killers” by James Patterson HARDCOVER NONFICTION 1. “Crimes Against Liberty” by David Limbaugh 2. “Sh*t My Dad Says” by Justin Halpern 3. “A Journey” by Tony Blair 4. “The Perfection Point” by John Brenkus 5. “Outliers” by Malcolm Gladwell PAPERBACK (MASS-MARKET) FICTION 1. “1022 Evergreen Place” by Debbie Macomber 2. “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo” by Stieg Larsson 3. “True Blue” by David Baldacci 4. “The Girl Who Played With Fire” by Stieg Larsson 5. “Pursuit of Honor” by Vince Flynn HARDCOVER ADVICE 1. “The Power” by Rhonda Byrne 2. “Women Food and God” by Geneen Roth 3. “Delivering Happiness” by Tony Hsieh 4. “The Carb Lovers Diet” by Ellen Kunes 5. “The One Minute Negotiator” by Don Hutson

disappointed. Herzog, the earnest psychology professor, is interested in explaining what researchers know — and don’t know — about the subject from every angle.

He also knows an interesting factoid when he sees one. For instance, Americans have gone from eating a half-pound of chicken a year during the Hoover administration to nearly 90 pounds a year now. Adolf Hitler signed the world’s most comprehensive animal protection legislation at the time in 1933. And since spay and neuter programs are much more successful in the Northeast than the South, maybe 90 percent of adopted dogs in the Northeast come from the South.

Herzog describes Interstate 95 along the East Coast as the “underground dog railway to the New York suburbs.”

Some of Herzog’s anecdotes are too common to be all that interesting. Who doesn’t know of an elderly person who loves the companionship of a cat, or people who treat their dogs like royalty?

What buoys this book is Herzog’s voice. He’s an assured, knowledgeable and friendly guide.

All mixed up

‘Lush guitar work’ and ‘sweet vocals’

T

HE BRIDGER FOLK Music Society will present a concert with Christopher Williams at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 2, at Crumb Brothers Bakery, 291 S. 300 West, Logan. Tickets are $13 and available by calling 7573468, or take your chances at the door the night of the show. Seating is very limited, so advance purchase is recommended.

Singer-songwriter Christopher Williams has always named his cars, and he speaks of them with the personal familiarity of old friends. His 1995 Accord, which he affectionately calls “Grace,” was stolen recently — two days before Williams was set to relocate 1,100 miles across the country. As with all things lost, though, it is usually the search itself that gives us meaning. And if you’ve ever heard a song or

seen a show by Williams, you may understand the seeking is only as hard as we make it; the journey is only as meaningful as we let it be; and Williams’ storied search for Grace is, in fact, something upon which he has built his musical career.

With seven years of nonstop national touring and playing more than 120 shows a year, this New York-born, Bucknell University religious studies graduate and former Seattle preschool teacher, has built a faithful following of listeners around the country and independently sold more than 21,000 records, primarily off the stage. Williams writes songs that are honest and confessional, yet never overbearing, and performs with an appealing mix of intense passion and humor. He is a songwriter and an entertainer, engaging audiences with what the

Boston Phoenix calls “lush guitar work, sweet soaring vocals,” and sometimes the added percussive vulnerability of a single djembe hand drum.

In moving to Nashville, Williams gives up a respectable Boston career, including his penchant for repeatedly selling out three-show nights at Cambridge’s famed Club Passim and garnering three Boston Music Award nominations. But Williams remains confident in trusting the twists and turns his life’s journey brings — the morning he crossed the Massachusetts state line to return his rented car and fly back to his new home in Tennessee, he received a phone call from the local authorities. Grace had indeed been found.

Award-winning war documentary ‘Restrepo’ coming to Logan Arthouse

HE AWARD-WINNING T documentary “Restrepo” will play Friday, Sept. 24, through

Thursday, Sept. 30, at the Logan Arthouse and Cinema, 795 N. Main St. For more information, visit www.loganarthouse.com.

Deep in eastern Afghanistan lies the rugged Korengal Valley — an epicenter of the current conflict and one of the most dangerous postings in the U.S. military. To make their

thrilling documentary — winner of the Grand Jury Prize at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival — awardwinning journalists Tim Hetherington and Sebastian Junger (“The Perfect Storm,” the upcoming “War”) embedded with the soldiers of 2nd Platoon, Battle Company, as they fought to build and maintain a remote 15-man outpost in the Korengal, named “Restrepo” after a platoon medic killed in action.

Hetherington and Junger avoid all outside commentary and political context in order to present us war as it is actually lived by soldiers, through their own eyes and in their own words — the back-breaking labor, the deadly firefights, the boredom, the camaraderie. Presented as a 94-minute deployment, “Restrepo” is documentary filmmaking at its most bracingly visceral.

I didn’t waste time digging in, cracking and shucking the shell to get at the sweet niblet of meat in the tail.

It is culturally correct to suck the juice out of the the crawdad before shelling br it. The salty brine a taste filled my mouth and tickled my nose.

Some of the party-goers even went so far as to suck out the brains once the tail was torn off.

It turns out, this was no need for panic. About that time Tom pulled out the smörgås.

I had heard of smörgåsbord, which I had always took to translate as “a boat-load of food.”

Apparently a smörgås is actually an open-faced sandwich. The “bord” is the board or table on which a smörgås is served. I felt woefully inadequate in my Swedish cultural education.

I mourned for only a second, though, as I was distracted by plate after plate of delicacy presented on the bord in front of me.

We slathered the thinly sliced rye bread and crusty rye crackers with crème fraiche and a tangy sauce of Dijon, dill and vinegar. On that we piled any combination of tomato, avocado, onion, boiled egg, pickled cucumber and your choice of the savory cheeses and cold cuts.

An hour of culinary ecstasy later, we were ready for dessert. Tom pulled warm from the oven a baked rice pudding. It was a dense combination of short-grain rice, milk, eggs, butter, almond, a small amount of sugar and vanilla.

It tasted like a custard, but the starchy rice gave it a toasted

comfort-food heft. It was topped with freshly-made warm pear sauce and vanilla ice cream.

Who would guess that the muddy wetlands of Cache Valley could produce such a feast? Thanks to the Ashtons, who expanded my Swedish culinary knowledge well beyond the Muppets. A hearty “Børk! Børk! Børk!” for a great evening of extraordinary food and excellent company — the necessary ingredients in any successful kräftskiva.
