Saturday's Voyeur and Reboot Diet

Saturday's Voyeur

And a good time was had by all.

Doug and I have a tradition of seeing this production every year.  They look at the past year of life in Utah and Utah politics and make fun of EVERYONE. It's a no holds production that points out the hypocrisy that abounds.

It is the only show where it is allowable to bring in food and drink.  And drink they do. Gazing around the theatre you see wine bottles, flasks, plastic cups, some people even bring their wine glasses. The last two times we've gone they passed out lime jello shots.

The name is poking fun at a theatre production that was called Saturday's Warrior.  A show produced by the predominant religion, touting the predominant religion's values.

Saturday's Voyeur uncovers what the practitioners of the predominant religion don't want seen behind their personal Zion Curtain.

Reboot Diet

The kids have started a diet.  It seems a bit extreme and would I could say I could do it with them, but I can't.  I know what works for me and though the process may be slower, any time I've tried the 'Get me there in a hurry' route.  The pounds always come back and bring a few friends.

They are going on a juice fast.

On the documentary the dude did it for 60 days.  Lost 90 pounds.  Nothing but fruits and veggies juiced.  The kids are coming up with all kinds of DELICIOUS tasting drinks.  They let me sample.

I should probably worry for their health, but they are young and the amount of veggies and fruits these kids eat borders on ZERO.  If nothing else, their bodies will appreciate the blast of nutrients.  They are shooting for 30 days and then reevaluating.

Their breakfast shake is better than the 'green thing' shake.
Stavo is a cook and so mixing, matching and juicing different fruits and veggies is helping to keep his mind busy and not on, smoking ribs, grilling steaks etc.  Farmer's Markets are in full swing around here and there are lots of fun veggies for them to try.

  1. I have a similar juicer on a shelf somewhere - hehehe.

    The production sounds fun. Nice way to wrap up a year.

  2. It was very fun. A nice tradition.

    The jucier is nice, but it sure seems like a lot of work...but maybe that is good. They use to spend a lot of time preparing meals together, not they are slicing and dicing and ....

  4. They are having a hard time with it. No matter how delicious the 'drink' is...there's just something about chewing that is so desirable.

  5. lol ohhhh boy. Ya, you stick to your sensible-ness Ms Judie. And I'll refrain from commenting.

    The production does sound fun. In re that, and the billboard photo--I forget just how overtly religious some parts of the US are. (And maybe some parts of Canada's prairies, but I haven't lived there since I was wee.) Living in Montreal you just don't get bombarded by religion.
