Of course the chocolate is outstanding but the caramel is so smooth and fresh tasting. I think there is something about how it's just a very, very thin layer of filling. Delicious.

Dickey's Barbecue Pit
When the weather starts to warm up I always get this craving for barbecue. My absolute favorite is pulled pork sandwiches, but barbecue anything is good.
Over the weekend I went with my amazing friend Abram to the newly-opened Dicky's Barbecue Pit. If you haven't had a chance to eat there...do it. The barbecue was delicious but so were the rolls, waffle fries, sides and the free ice cream!
(And unfortunately, I didn't think to take a picture...so we'll have to settle with this...)
And of course, our waitress had the thickest southern accent.

AllRecipes.com
Looking for something new to whip up for dinner? Tired of your same old, same old menu? Head over to AllRecipes.com and your troubles will be over.
I love this site. There is virtually an endless supply of recipes. One of my favorite features is the ability to search by ingredient. It's perfect if you have a fridge full of random things you don't know what to do with. The comments from people who have tried the recipe can be helpful when it comes altering recipes or making sure you know what you are getting into before you start.
Another neat feature is the ability to log in and save recipes in your "recipe box," and even create menus and shopping lists.
The site has an iPhone and iPod app, that I would like to try, out that lets you see your recipe box, search for recipes, access your shopping list, and even share recipes.

Brick Oven Root Beer
This stuff is basically the best root beer ever. A&W and IBC are close runners up. Once you start drinking it you can't stop. I found this really interesting article about root beer (I know it sounds boring but skim through it!) and who knew there were so many root beer brands out there?
World Water Week
Sunday, March 22 marks the beginning of World Water Week. In celebration, the Utah Tap Project will begin. You can help by donating $1 at participating restaurants for a glass of tap water you would normally drink for free. Your dollar can provide a child in a third-world country with clean, safe drinking water for 40 days.While the idea is simple, this project has the potential to help millions of kids around the world. Tap Projects are being conducted everywhere and I think it's great that Utah has joined. So, go out to eat and donate a dollar!

Welfare Square
On Friday I got to tour Welfare Square for my capstone class project. It was so neat. We hear all the time about the wonderful things the church does for relief effort during disasters, emergency preparedness, etc. but rarely do we get to see it behind the scenes. Welfare Square was started during the Great Depression and still has so many amazing projects in the works.
One of the most amazing things to me was to see the boxes that are sent to disaster areas. One box, below, holds enough food to feed a family of four for 10 days. The boxes aren't very big and are easily shipped and distributed. The church also created a cleaning kit for Hurricane Katrina and it is now one of their most popular items.
It was interesting to see things like the Bishop's Storehouse, Bakery and Employment Center. It is great that the whole purpose of church welfare is to help people help themselves. This simple ideology goes a long way in fostering responsibility, respect and self-confidence. Regarding Welfare Square, President Monson said,
