November 12, 2022 - Frank and Lupe's - Scottsdale, Arizona

 Peg Hartman and I went to Old Town Scottsdale for the Canal Convergence...which is an annual displayof pieces of art on the canal...water...lights...fire...

We decided to eat at Frank and Lupe's for dinner.  

The complimentary chips and salsa was very good…great chips.  I liked the salsa but it did have a kick to it…and Peg would have liked it a little heartier.

 Peg Hartman ordered the Beef Tostado Plate…she chose the ground beef and she chose guacamole as her topping…and rice and beans.

 I chose the Stuffed Sopaipilla Plate – large sopaipilla stuffed with carne adosada and lots of lettuce…and rice and beans.  I chose the red sauce as the topping on the sopaipilla.  I really liked my dinner. It was different.  Our wait staff was very accommodating .

October 26, 2022 - The Perfect Pear - Tempe, Arizona

 Our monthly Mesa Arts Center Usher Group ate lunch at this restaurant in Tempe...Cindi, Rhona, Lisa, Ella, Marie, Gini, Lorraine, Donna, Peggy, Bobbie, Syd and myself.  

We started with a toast in memory of Mikki…and Rose who will never usher with us again. They will be missed.

I ordered the Perfect Grilled Cheese – brie, four cheese blend, arugula and crispy bacon….served on a grilled pear bread.  Yummy!  I would go back and try something else because there are so many yummy items on their menu.  You know the food is good at this restaurant because it is always packed.
