Arizona Joe's

As a part of my continuing series, eating and reading across America, I made the ultimate sacrifice and ate at Arizona Joe's.  It's a great place to listen to some country/western music.  There's a bar and then separate dining room.  It's a mix of local cowboys/cowgirls and snowbirds.   But the big attraction is the broasted chicken.  In that spirit there is a giant chicken standing by the door.  I ordered the mixed and received 3 huge pieces with 3 pieces of broasted potatoes.  John opted for the ribs and found them meaty, tender and very good.  I highly recommend it and plan on a few more trips there before we head north.

I finished the book Home.  It was an interesting book to be reading at this time in the country's history.  It takes place in the early sixties and the two ministers in the book who are otherwise good men, have no sympathy for the plight of the black man in America.  I didn't like this book as well as her others.

Had to break out the sweatshirts last night as it cooled off quite a bit when the sun went down.
