Brunch at St Francis

It's been exceedingly difficult for my chick poker group to get together. Between work, kids and travel, it seems like we don't all have the same weekend night free.

So, Chris suggested we do brunch at St Francis in North Central Phoenix (1st St and Camelback). I'm so glad she did because it was wonderful!

We sat in the front window that made it feel like we were outside and enjoyed the live music from a jazz band on the patio. We also ordered what felt like everything off the menu:

Cinnamon Roll with Caramel Sauce
Scone
Crispy Fingerling Potatoes
Egg Frittata
Omelette
Sausage Flatbread
Romaine Hearts Salad
Soup
French Onion Burger with Fries

It was a lot of food to share because the portions were huge. Any of the main dishes could have been satisfyingly split between two people. The food was not only beautifully presented, it was delish! Our server was a bit slow on the uptake but the chaps who brought out our food and checked on us were superb.

I'd go back in a heartbeat.

It's just East of the big M&I bank building on Camelback and Central. We didn't even attempt to play poker. ;-)

TV At Its Finest

I was talking to someone today who didn’t know who Bob Newhart was. I cut him some slack because he’s a youngster and didn’t grow up in the U.S. I told him about The Bob Newhart show and how it became a college drinking game and about Newhart, "Hi, I'm Larry; this is my brother Darryl, and this is my other brother Darryl." He was going to go to Wikipedia and do some research. The conversation got me thinking. Back in the day (like when dinosaurs were alive and I was young and there were only four channels on TV), we caught a lot of reruns of what are now considered classic TV. Especially, if you were a latchkey kid like I was, there wasn’t a lot going on in the afternoon/early evening so it was either soap operas or reruns unless you were allowed to be outside and play. And, of course, during summer vacation you had even more time to watch the boob tube. Here’s what I remember watching during those years: Gilligan’s Island, Big Valley (I’m still looking for my very own N...

February 2020

Most of 2020 sucked. But, there were some good moments that made memories to cling to. I'm going to review some of those moments from each month. (Disclaimer - my memory isn't what it used to be so this is my story and I'm sticking to it regardless of reality.) I moved into my house in May of 2019 and it was already hot out so I used the Arizona summer as an excuse not to do anything to my patio or yard. I don't recall what excuse I used to justify ignoring the both in the fall and winter. Let's go with complete laziness. It's entirely plausible. However, I had to get on the stick and pretty it up because I had a bunch of company scheduled for the spring. The first thing I did was get some inexpensive chairs from Target for my beat up table. I honestly thought I could jam them into my car. I really, really did. One would never guess I was a Tetris master. After several futile attempts, this is how it ultimately went down. Adam (answering cell): Hi, Kathy! Me: Hi...
