Did you attend the Majority Rules event on February 2? What a fun evening. The food was delicious. Simple fried chicken and veggies never tasted so good! After dinner Mellissa Kallett lit the stage with her entertaining game of Majority Rules. What a wonderful way to spend the night. Thank you, Jill Burnham, for organizing this activity.
The Phoenix Walking Tour, sponsored by Taste it Tours, was a culinary delight. We spent about three hours strolling through downtown Phoenix stopping at historical landmarks. A brief and interesting synopsis was provided at each of these locations. We sat and ate at various restaurants tasting their signature dishes. Restaurants included: Cornish Pasty Company, Thai Basil Signature, Chico Malo and the Phoenix Public Market Café for dessert. We all had a relaxing and enjoyable afternoon.
