Peoria Weekend

We drove to Peoria on Friday 6 October to spend the weekend with the Youngs as they began their fall break. Since traffic was abominable, we met in Glendale for supper at La Piazza Al Forno. On Saturday, Gavin had a work-related dinner, so the rest of us had dinner at The Cornish Pasty Company in Scottsdale. We arrived early enough to do some serious browsing at the Poison Pen Bookstore nearby. Since it was an English dinner, I made a sticky toffee pudding for dessert. I am still tweaking my recipe and am close to getting it where I want it. Sunday we went to Westgate for some retail therapy and then grilled burgers for supper.

 I officially added palo verde to my narrow list of passions on
a morning walk on the arroyo


Murder mysteries are their specialty

 Al fresco supper at The Cornish Pasty Company

 Dickie's sticky...

 Carmel sauce and custard

 Taste of England

 Westgate

 Committed shoppers

Goodbye for now -- see you during the holidays

We went back to Mesa, the Youngs bought a new car and headed to the mountains for their fall break.
That's all for now.
