We were able to visit Tucson last Thursday for a couple days. It’s been months since we’ve been able to visit, so it was long past due. The highlight of course is seeing our friends and eating a lot of food. As always, we stayed with Matt and Dana.
We arrived Friday for some homemade pizzas. They were so very good. Even more so with an abundance of wine. Finally Yun found a white she likes and even consumed multiple glasses (gasp!).
Friday was spent shopping. It’s always an uncomfortable experience for me to do months of shopping in one day. We get a lot of stuff (as much as the car will hold). We are trying to ween ourselves off of our dependence of things from the US. The challenge is that many things are much cheaper and/or much better quality. Also, there are just some things you can’t get here. Like yellow cheese and russet potatoes.
We have a tradition now with the Mcreynolds of a steak dinner with potatoes on each visit (either here or there). I very much love this tradition. We had some filets and my perfectly prepared potatoes (minus the spicy heat due to incessant complaining). Such a good meal. Such good wine.
And as always, we were able to smoke the necessary number of cigars for proper digestion. Matt has the best humidor and I have claimed his top shelf as my own.
I guess our special trip down just to hang out didn’t make the cut. Good luck making ours. Maybe we have to bribe you with good food (or wine) to get a place…
haha….yea, wine certainly would have done it! or perhaps a cigar. Dana rarely sends me the photos of us all together.
