As the locals say... it's hard not to be addicted to this place. There was a lovely outdoor patio, surrounded by a 3 tier water fountain, Mexican architecture, tile roofs and of course the requisite sun.
A Bowl of Crispy French Fries Smothered with Hatch Green Chile Sauce & Home Made Queso. Garnished with Chopped Bacon & Green Onions
Gotta say, it was over the top yummy. Nothing diet like about it to be sure, but the sauce was outstanding. I am visiting my brother Ron and his wife Gail in Tucson. It's a treat to get away to the land of sun and fun. Siblings on the east coast are all waiting for the snow storm to drape them in the cold of winter. Talked with a friend back home and he woke to about a half inch of snow. Here... just another day of sun and fun and a yummy lunch of some of my favorite foods.... potato, cheese and bacon. Here...lots of laughing and adventure. Gail and Ron love to play, so play we shall!
FIREBIRDS WOOD FIRED GRILL
I have given up on any inkling of a diet and losing weight. Being surrounded by so many options, my biggest challenge has been which restaurant? Thank goodness Gail and Ron are here to guide me. Today's adventure was again, quite yummy. My selection was pasta and a salad.
Caeser Salad
Shaved Parmesan, chile-dusted croutons; Chef recommends Caesar dressing
Firebird's Chicken Pasta
Spicy Asiago cream sauce, applewood-smoked bacon, green onions, tomatoes
BOOKMANS
Leaving the restaurant we decided that perhaps it was time to feed the mind so off we went to Bookmans, the most amazing used book store. I have never seen anything like it!
Besides books, Bookmans sells music, video games, movies and musical instruments. It is now a must do when I come visit Gail and Ron... so much fun.
