Funeral Potatoes

Levi came home tonight excited to tell me he had met a new acquaintance from Utah, while walking down the street he happened to hear some of this guys cell phone conversation, when he hung up Levi said are you by chance from Utah, well yes how did you know replied the guy, because you said you were going home to make funeral potatoes Levi told him....in all the places we have lived Utah is the only place I have ever lived that people knew what funeral potatoes were by that name. Now of course all the kids want me to make some! So it got me to thinking you know you are from Utah if....
You know what funeral potatoes are
You can make 1000 or more types of jello salad no recipe needed
You understand what driving up the canyon means (that one drives Richard nuts)
Deer hunting season was a school holiday (I don't know if it is anymore?)
You measure distance in time not miles (it is 45 minutes to Salt Lake, 20 minutes to Ogden etc.)
Gun racks with guns are a common truck accessory
12 year old Boys and girls take hunter safety and go hunting with their parents
Schools do not close for two inches of snow
People still wave when you drive past them on the road
The neighbors bring treats and introduce themselves when you move into a new house.
You KNOW it will rain over general conference weekend
You celebrate Pioneer Day, but probably have no idea when Utah Statehood day is (it is January 4th)
An outing to see the lights at Temple square is a favorite Christmas outing no matter what religion you are.
You have shopped at ZCMI and know what it stands for
There is a church and a seven eleven on every corner
No one bats an eye when you tell them you have 9 brothers and sisters (yes I do)
You have tied a quilt and know how to can (bottle) fruit and vegetables.
You drive the short distance to Idaho for lottery tickets, Nevada to gamble and Wyoming for fireworks.
and you can pronounce Toole and Tremonton correctly.

Now it has been many moons since I lived in Utah, so some of these may have changed and for those of you still in Utah I would be interested to see your additions to the you know list.
