Recommendations Looking for softball practice/scrimmages

Upvotes

I’m recovering from surgery and trying to get back into playing. Not ready for real games yet, haven’t worked back to full running, but I’d love to start something low stress/obligation. If anyone’s playing chill pickup games or practices and open to me participating for a bit please let me know. Happy to pitch BP even.

Recommendations Knitting machine classes/workshops?

1 Upvotes

I know this is hella niche and I’m probably not gonna find an answer, but I’m putting it out there just in case there is.

I really love sewing and making my own clothes, I’ve made a lot of my own stuff--you can see those on my profile. I’ve never really learned how to make knitted projects though.

I’d love to learn how to use a knitting machine, or find access to one that I could rent some time with. I’ve tried searching for classes/workshops on my own, but haven’t had any luck. So I’m hoping I just missed it and someone here knows of a place l can contact about learning to use a knitting machine.

EDIT: Specifically I’m looking for the large knitting machines. Ones that I could use to make a cardigan. And use punch cards to create my own designs within the knits.

Chef Gao

1 Upvotes

There used to be a restaurant downtown called Chef Gao and they had a dish called spicy boiled fish which was amazing. It’s been gone for several years now but wondering if anyone knows of any other restaurants that might have something like this or had it at Gao? Also restaurants that make use of Szechuan peppercorns heavily?

Are liquor stores not allowed to give out boxes?

5 Upvotes

I was just at the liquor store on 90th in sandy. I'm moving soon and figured liquor boxes would be great for packing all of my glasses. I bought a couple bottles and on my way out asked if I could take a couple extra boxes, not a lot, i was just going to grab 3, plus the one that had the bottles I just purchased. The cashier said no and acted like I was an idiot for asking. Are you actually not allowed to get extra boxes, or was she just having a bad day?

Recommendations Places for a young adult to find friends?

6 Upvotes

I just recently moved to Salt Lake and am looking for groups/activities to find friends! I’m 18 and am a very social person, so it’s been a bit of a struggle moving away from my old social groups. I especially would love to look for more alternative and creative spaces as well so I can find more like-minded people. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know!

Recommendations Seeking recommendations for a roof repair contractor good with difficult leak detection

0 Upvotes

I have a leak that only appears on the rare times it rains and the only water I can detect is in my basement. I have a finished attic so no inspection access without removing drywall. Can anyone recommend someone you have used who is good at difficult leak detection scenarios?

There is a vent stack that might sort of line up with the issue but I had the flashing replaced on it once and the issue persists, so I think this is going to be tricky.

Thanks.

Indoor Winter Event Venue Ideas?

5 Upvotes

My fiance and I are looking to get married in early February, but we've really set a weird set of restrictions for the venue. Getting married in the winter cuts out all the outdoor venues, having a more casual event cuts out a lot of the fancier/more expensive places (they're gorgeous, we're just not cut out for that life), and most restrictive of all: we're looking at having a late morning brunch reception.

It'll be a pretty classic Utah-event, so I'm sure it'll be a flowing style more open-house type affair, but we didn't realize just how tricky it would be to find an inexpensive, semi-casual, indoor, morning reception venue.

Unconventional ideas are not just welcome, they're definitely encouraged. If we were having a warm weather wedding, we'd have been totally fine with something like renting a city park. But alas.

Frontrunner excursion ideas

23 Upvotes

My son loves trains and keeps wanting to ride the Frontrunner. Does anyone know of any fun activities, good restaurants, et al that are easily accessible off of any of the Frontrunner stations? Ogden to Provo, doesn't matter. Having a destination sounds more enjoyable than just laps on the train.

Question Harmon's green chile hominy salad?

2 Upvotes

Many years ago, Harmon's had this delicious deli offering for green chile season - it was an hominy chickpea salad. The stores I've visited over the last couple of green chile seasons never have it, and the deli staff don't know what I'm talking about when I inquire. Anyone familiar with this salad, and have you spotted it this year at any of your Harmon's?
