December 29, 2019 - Elbow's Mac 'n Cheese - Gilbert, Arizona


The Bridge Babes tried a new place deep into Gilbert…called Elbows Mac ‘n Cheese….I liked it.  Cathy and I both chose the More Cheese 4 Me…Cathy added lobster to hers…I decided on a regular size with an order of Fried Pepperoni Slice served with white cheese sauce and marinara sauce…very good.  Marilyn ordered the Shrimp with Mac ‘n Cheese. I am happy that we found this place. 

It is fast food.  You have to place your order but what I really like is there is a choice of sizes of the meal.  That is always perfect.  For those of us who crave mac ‘n cheese once in a while....'n cheyou need t go somewhwere for many different choices...they also have pizza, etc...when someone in your group doesn't want mac 'n cheese.

December 8, 2019 - Linda's Hoosier Cafe - Mesa, Arizona


I have visited this restaurant many times…the first time Carol Richmond took me here when I first moved to Las Palmas…and I have returned many times....but I have never written a review about the restaurant.

December 8, 2019 I went there for breakfast while I waited for my windshield to be repaired.  I ordered the Two Pancakes with Scrambled Eggs and Bacon…crisp.  It was delicious.  The pancakes were served with lots of butter and syrup…a whole plate of eggs.  It was a great breakfast.  I must come here more often when I am looking for a place to eat breakfast.  It is a small tiny restaurant but the food that comes out of the kitchen is delicious.

Decmeber 9, 2019 - Flo's - Scottsdale, Arizona


I visited on December 9, 2019 by myself.  I had driven to Scottsdale for Jonah’s first cello concert at the Cheyenne Traditional School.  I have always wanted to try this restaurant…and I had my opportunity.

I ordered the Spicy Ginger and Onion Beef with brown rice but was served white rice and that’s okay.  It was delicious but very…very spicy.  I plan to return because there were several items on the menu that I would like to try.

December 6, 2019 - The Maine Lobster Lady


I went to the Tempe Arts Festival with Carol Thompson and Pat Scarrow.  Carol spotted the Maine Lobster Lady..and I couldn’t resist.  I have been trying to find her for five years.  She is a winter resident.  I have gone online to get her schedule, but she is always close by when  I have something else to do…or I don’t want to go to that particular festival…at last…

I ordered the Lobster Roll with Butter.  It was delicious…huge…lots of lobster meat.  I really enjoyed my roll.


To find her just Google the Maine Lobster Lady for her schedule.  She doesn't have a permanent establishment in any of the cities in the Valley.
