In mid-May 2023, Ms. Karen and I, along with recent Tucson friends (they just moved here from Oregon), Linda and Gus, had lunch at Augustin Kitchen on their patio. Ms. Karen had known these friends since her college days. As it turned out, this was a “Thank You” lunch. They … Continue reading
A week or so ago, Neighbor Roy brought me an article about a new Turkish restaurant in Tucson: The Turkish Grill House on Prince Road. So we thought we’d try it. The problem turned out that it didn’t open until 3 PM. And, it turned out, to be at the … Continue reading
Neighbor Roy and I had not been to Mei Mei’s since before the pandemic. We figured it was about time to go back in early April, 2023. Once seated by a slender, young Asian woman, we ordered drinks. Roy, as usual, ordered hot tea. I ordered Iced Tea with lemon. … Continue reading

On an afternoon in mid-November, Neighbor Roy & I went to lunch at Agustin Kitchen. By no coincidence, I had a $25 gift card to spend there. We arrived at 12:30 pm and the place was not at all crowded. Had it been, it would have been pretty noisy as … Continue reading
Neighbor Roy and I went to the Old Times Kafe one afternoon, mostly because I had a discount Dining Card from the Arizona Daily Star, our local newspaper. Besides, it was close by on the West Side of town. They serve breakfast and lunch and close at 2 PM. On … Continue reading
