The cruel hunt of baby seals has once again started in Canada. Hundreds of thousands of the baby seals will be beaten to death until the hunters reach their quota set (and approved) by the Canadian government. It is a practice that is barbaric and sick, and does not contribute much to the Canadian economy. For video and information on the hunt, you can go to the website of the Humane Society of the United States here. (http://www.hsus.org/)

I have vowed to boycott Canadian seafood until they vote to end this practice, including eating at Red Lobster. Thee United States has banned the import of the seal skins - it is only the European and Asian market that imports them.

I have written letters to Prime Minster Harper (quite an ironic name - the seals being killed are “Harp” seals) respectfully requesting him to ban this horrible practice. If you would like to do the same, I’m including the link HERE.

I truly believe that if enough people speak loud enough, and show their displeasure by boycotting Canadian seafood, changes will be made. Please do what you can to make a difference.

For anyone that lives in, or has visited Salt Lake City, they may notice the lack of ethnic restaurants in the area. I have been craving Persian food, and was very happy to find House of Kabob, located in downtown Salt Lake City. Now don’t get me wrong - I love Salt Lake City, and there are many great restaurants, but it just doesn’t compare to San Francisco.

House of Kabob is a very reasonably priced restaurant, with excellent food. I had the Juje Kabob, which is the grilled chicken and lemon rice. It was wonderful. My husband had the ground beef kabob with the Basmati Rice, wich was also fabulous. I think anything you try will be delicious. I was so happy to have Persian food. They also have Turkish and Greek food. I have not tried it yet, but I am sure it will be just as good as the Persian food.
