Did you know that the Dr. and I love food? If not then I will inform you- we love food. A lot. We love to cook at home and we love to eat out. There's just something special about cooking a meal for someone else or sitting down to share a meal- it brings people together.
Good heavens, we probably ate a Thanksgiving size meal every night we were in AZ. We really wanted to stock up on some great Mexican food while we were there since you can't even buy refried beans here in Boston. We stopped at the Mesa Temple for a session on Saturday morning after arriving in Phoenix the night before. Lunch was in order after that as we had a 2+ hour drive to Flagstaff ahead of us. We popped into a little place called Mango's in downtown Mesa and it didn't disappoint. The chimichanga, the tacos, the beans and the rice! Ole!
Monday we made a trip to Phoenix to pick up the parental unit coming in from Seattle. What do they have in the Phoenix area? That's right, In-N-Out!
How could we not stop?? Their special sauce runs in my veins! Just look at those burgers and animal fries:

While the Dr., his brother and dad were all out on the reservation hunting, Shelley and I baked up a storm at the house. She made bread, I rolled pie crusts and the kids pulled apart the bread for stuffing. I made the turkey brine and the Dr. roasted it up the next day with some amazing gravy, potatoes by Trevor, green beans and asparagus. Everyone helped and it turned out great!

Other foods of interest we had while in Flagstaff: Cafe Rio, Downtown Diner (Harlan's favorite greasy spoon for breakfast) and the Olive Garden (not that cool).
