American Idol finalist and Utah native David Archuleta was in town for a special rally and appearance at the Jazz game tonight.

We have all the details from his visit.  

We couldn't have picked a better night for the final giveaway of Nightside Airlift rations. The Jazz are at home trying to cut their playoff deficit in half and hometown hero David Archuleta is back home. Tonight's giveaway is just outside KSL Broadcast House.  

New York City officials plan within months to dispatch the nation's first ambulance equipped to preserve bodies of the newly dead so that families have time to consider organ donation.

The controversial twist: Crews would swoop in and perform procedures on a corpse without consent in order to preserve the organs until the family had time to give consent for organ donation. No organs would be taken without consent.

Do you want to see one of these ambulances here in Utah?  

Rice crispy rations are being sent to Bountiful and this time we've more than doubled our supply. Alex Kirry joins us live throughout the 7 o'clock hour with updates on the rations.

Not sure what to do with that Nightside ration of flour? Try this recipe out.

INGREDIENTS
2 (.25 ounce) packages active dry yeast 1/2 cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C) 1 1/4 cups buttermilk, room temperature 2 eggs 5 1/2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour, divided 1/4 cup butter, softened 1/4 cup white sugar 2 teaspoons baking powder 2 teaspoons salt 2 tablespoons butter, softened 1/2 cup white sugar teaspoons ground cinnamon 1/2 cup butter, melted 1/2 cup packed brown sugar 1/3 cup raisins 2/3 cup chopped pecans

1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). 2. Combine the yeast mixture with the buttermilk, eggs, 2 1/2 cups flour, 1/4 cup softened butter, 1/4 cup sugar, baking powder and salt; stir well to combine. Stir in the remaining flour, 1/2 cup at a time, beating well after each addition. Dough should remain soft and slightly sticky. When the dough has pulled together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes. 3. Divide dough in half and roll each half into a 12x7 inch rectangle. Spread each half with 1 tablespoon softened butter and sprinkle with 1/4 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Roll up halves, beginning at wide side. Seal well by pinching the seams. Cut each roll into 12 slices. 4. Coat two 9 inch round cake pans each with 1/4 cup melted butter, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 2 tablespoons raisins and 1/2 cup chopped pecans. Place 12 dough slices in each pan, leaving a small space between slices. Cover and let rise until doubled. 5. Bake in a preheated oven for about 30 minutes. Invert pans onto plates and serve.  

EnergySolutions Inc. filed a federal lawsuit just a few days before Utah plans to veto the disposal of radioactive waste in the state.

EnergySolutions claims an eight-state group that oversees waste disposal in the region has no authority over the project because the Clive, Utah, site is privately owned.  

Don't know what to do with your rice. Here's an idea.

SPAM Fried Rice Recipe: Cheap Yummies

One day I shall opine over tofu. But it's kind of hard for me to do that in English since tofu yumminess is equated with Korean food. Today, it's all about SPAM.

At the request of two commenters regarding my remarks about SPAM fried rice, I am posting a recipe and some suggested variations. Remember, I'm a single gal and I dine alone a lot, therefore these are single people portions.

This recipe will use a half can of the half-sized SPAM. Get it? It's the 7oz can, which my supermarket sells for $1.99 each.

1/2 can of 7oz SPAM Original 2 cups of cooked rice 2 eggs Butter/oil for cooking 1/4 cup onion, finely chopped Wide or Deep frying pan, either 12″ wide or use an 8″ deep dish omelette pan
