November 17, 2014 - Courtyard Cafe at the Heard Museum

Jo Martin, Linda Hoover and I spent the day at the Heard Museum in central Phoenix.  Between tours we have lunch at the cafe.

I ordered the Tortilla Soup – creamy and spicy – loaded with chicken – blended peppers, tomatoes – crema.  Delicious!

Jo and Linda ordered the Chicken and Wild Rice Enchiladas – cooked in apple cider and garnished with apple slices.  Linda ate the house salad.  Jo asked if she could substitute that salad for the corn salad…and they were more than happy to do that.  I tasted a bite…great salad…served with tiny, tiny pieces of peppers and tomatoes…and it had a little zip to it.  I liked it.

For dessert all three of us shared the Fry Bread Sundate – large round piece of fry bread cut into pizza shaped slices…topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream…all guzzled with chocolate sauce and caramel sauce.  And the Caramel Apple Quesadilla  - strips of a light flexible pie crust with apples and sauce into between.  The huge round pie type of dessert was then cut in huge wedges and criss crossed to make start shaped serving that was topped with a scoop of ice cream…caramel sauce and broken pieces of walnuts.

I like both desserts but preferred the Caramel Apple Quesadilla more because coming from the influence of the Plains Indians I like my Fry Bread hot and fluffy….this piece was too thin and chewy.
