Check out the Quarry Pines on the far west side near The Cortaro Exit I-10. The Front is nothing to write home about, a warm up for the back.

Anyway, when the meal was finished I asked my guests how they liked their dish. Two of the three said they thought theirs was a little bland. So was mine. … Continue reading
