You might think crispy fried shrimp and asparagus crispy tempura, on the same menu at the same restaurant, would be much the same. You might think it’s impossible (or at least improbable) that tofu could be lightly crispy on the outside and almost creamy (and most definitely not rubbery) on the inside. But if you were eating at Raku, you’d be mistaken on all counts.
There’s not much better on a hot summer day than a scoop of cold gelato, and since we’re having a lot of those now, it’s fitting that readers have several suggestions for Connie Hannon.
Southern Utah lures heat-weary Las Vegans like the ice cream man draws neighborhood kids on summer afternoons. Who wouldn’t welcome cool, pine-scented breezes, cold mountain streams and lakes, chilly nights under starry glitter and bracing mornings with the scent of wood smoke strong in the air?

It’s hard to say which is more predictable: Las Vegas summer heat or the afternoon shows that let you escape it.
We’ve had a relatively mild June so far — if a little uncharacteristically gloomy — but we don’t need summer’s official beginning last weekend to remind us that plenty of sizzling days are yet to come, and with them the need for refreshment. So it’s fitting that readers have a local source for an old favorite — Wyler’s Sugar-Free Lemonade Drink Mix, being sought by Julie and Don McCuiston.
Carmen Ruest laughs that the “Mystere” theater now seems familiar and almost cozy.
