Yesterday (October 18, 2009, Sunday) we got up, loaded the truck with empty boxes and tubs, and drove to the northern end of SLC to Emigration Canyon to meet my dad's college roommate and his wife for breakfast at Ruth's Diner. They are lovely people who have lived in the area for about seventeen(-ish) years and thus had lots of good local information for us - most importantly, a veterinarian and kennel. Not that we need one right now(!!), but it's good to know where to go. Fortuitiously, they use the one right around the corner from our apartment; it's on my jogging route, even.
H and I had been to Ruth's Diner on our two prior trips to SLC, but it has undergone a massive renovation since then and, while still serving extremely tasty huevos rancheros and great coffee, retains only the barest modicum of retro diner car-ness. It's lovely and bright, with comfy booths and that great outdoor seating (and the bathrooms are much improved). It's just not old-school anymore.
After breakfast we attempted to go to our storage unit to drop off the empty boxes but ended up having to go later in the day because the gate was only open from 1-5 p.m. It was imperative that we go, however, because: I had offhandedly remarked to H that there would be no Chicago-style Italian beef for dinner in the apartment this fall/winter since the crockpot was somewhere in a box in storage. This put him into a total panic and he was entirely unable to relax until we located (box #64) and retrieved the crockpot. I got my box of recipes (box #139) too, even though I've made Italian beef so many time that I've memorized it by now.
Go here and you can make it too.

So are you willing to share the Italian Beef recipe from Box 139. I too have broken out the crock pot from storage (cupboard #3).
