Eat the Cake First

There is a fun place in Apache Junction that encourages you to eat the cake first since life is short. We will be going there 2 times this week. Dinner there isn't bad either considering they are serving a fixed dinner to a couple hundred people at a time. We are going twice this week because we bought 4 tickets to Barleen's Dinner Show earlier this year. The plan was to bring guests that we were looking forward to spending a few days with. That plan fell apart when I managed to get a case of Covid, again. That makes 3 times, dammit. 

Anyway, we kept putting off using the tickets, as procrastinators tend to do thinking there is always tomorrow, and their season ends in April. The best we could do this close to the end of their year and see different shows since no one is around right now to use the other 2 tickets is this Friday and Saturday nights. On Friday we will see what is called the Season's Best Show and on Saturday we will see Rockin' and Rollin' Through the Years. It should be fun.

In other news around here, Jim is making progress on learning how to use his laser. I am so happy this guy has found a hobby to putter with. It makes me happy because it makes him happy. 

Back with more again soon.

Take care and stay cozy!

A Personal Favorite

Bless his little heart. Jim decided that is was too hot to cook dinner at home last night. I doubt he will think so every night but who was I to argue? Any way we went to one of our favorite places to eat and I wanted to share it with you. We went to Filly's Roadhouse in Apache Junction.

Being quite honest here this is no fancy dinin' place. As you come in you enter the bar and the stage and dance floor. Keep walking towards the back and you are in the restaurant. The decor is simple, the parking lot is dirt, the music can be fun but not always the best and count on it being country of course, the hitching post for your horse or burro is in the back and sometimes it is really used.

Use the link here to see the menu because that is the best part of this place. The specialty of the house is chicken and they do it really well. This place will serve you the best and I mean the best wings you have ever had! If you have any room after dinner, and you would need plenty, one of the cobblers for dessert is fantastic. The serving is big enough to share with at least two people and maybe more.

For more info about restaurants I ran across a cool place called Urban Spoon. You can post about your favorite eatin', drinkin' and dancin' places or fine dining if you insist and connect your post to them. They give you a graphic for your blog and link to your post on their site.

Great Breakfast

I want to share with you what is a secret of ours. There is a Mexican restaurant in Apache Junction called Los Gringos Locos. During the winter when this town's population doubles with snowbirds they start serving breakfast on the weekends. We go here for breakfast most weekends through the winter usually on Sunday.

The food is fantastic and includes burritos with chorizo or machaca, plates of eggs with those meats or made to order omelettes. While others who don't know better are across the parking lot lined up to eat at a greasy spoon that shall remain nameless we have a wonderful breakfast in an uncrowded place for about the same price. The season will be ending soon and we will have to find a new place for our weekend mornings but you can be sure we will be back as soon as they start serving breakfast again next fall.

For lunch and dinner I have never had anything on the menu I didn't like. My favorite if you made me choose is probably the fish tacos. The fish is grilled and then chopped. It is put together with mild cheese, shredded cabbage and a mango salsa. Sooooo good!

Just felt like sharing this with you. If you are ever in the Apache Junction area and hungry you will never have a bad meal at this place.
