Jayne's Restaurant Review - Wandering Horse Buffet

-
I admit I love breakfast and lunch combined into one joyous feast. It works perfectly for those times when you can't decide if you want French toast or a French dip.  Even better if you have about forty selections from which to choose!

I've been to the Talking Stick Resort in Scottsdale for a spa day, for dinner at their fine dining restaurant and a few times to brunch or dinner at the Wandering Horse Buffet. I've never been disappointed.

If you are considering a girl's spa day, going to a performance or just especially hungry you can't miss here.  If you go on Sunday, the cost is $34.95 for adults and it includes all-you-can-eat seafood with oysters and crab legs.  If you hand your maxed out plate to the chef he will re-steam the legs so they're hot. There are carving stations with roast beef, roast turkey and all the sides. You might be tempted to fill up on the cheeses, salads or hop over to the pasta station for pizza.

We thought the champagne was all-you-can-drink too but finally our server told us it was two glasses each. That might be the only disappointing part of brunch, so get your mimosa sans orange juice.

The center station has an abundance of every kind of dessert you can imagine. For the most part, they didn't thrill me but there are sufficient options that you are guaranteed to find something you like.

As always don't forget to tip your bartenders and servers, even when you eat at a buffet and drink responsibly.

In my happy place I forgot to take a photo before we consumed mass quantities of dessert but here's what was left.

Does the Wine Glass Matter by L. A. Keller

-

As part of my restaurant series, this post is about the vessel you use to consume your juice - the fermented grape juice variety. Personally, I love a beautiful glass from which to drink wine. The more shapely and delicate the more I enjoy the wine - not because it always makes the wine dramatically  better but it adds to the pleasure of the act.  I also tend to break them routinely so I go through lots of different glassware. The first question you may ask is whether to have stemware or stemless (also known as a tumbler).  There was a trend a few years ago to move away from glasses with stems.  I agree that the stemless version is sturdier all around. You are less likely to knock the glass over and unable to snap off the stem when washing. These are easy to load in the dishwasher, but not always advisable for any wine glass depending on the quality of the glass. However, the biggest issue with stemless glasses is that you are holding the glass, and thus the wine, in your hand.

I Don't Believe in Happily Ever After by L. A. Keller

-
I've been so busy writing Reunion in the Desert and trying to finish the third book in the Jayne Stanford series that I left this short story hanging. I'm including part Nine with the new installment as a brief review.  You can read the entire series in my blog posts or email me for one complete copy.  Part 9 “I gave up on happily ever after. Maybe I'm not cut out for a relationship. Maybe, I just don't like being committed to one person for longer than two weeks.” Clare kicked off her running shoes at the back door of her grandmother, Mae’s house. She winced when she thought about how much she spent on them but the fabric absorbed manure like a sponge and there was no way they would ever come clean. She figured she may as well throw them out, along with all her plans for this weekend. Hours of chores around the farm had worn her down more than all day client meetings. Mae hummed a tune as she prepared their lunch. Clare knew she had been guilt tripped in

Jayne's Restaurant Review - Fabio on Fire by L. A. Keller

I was meeting friends for dinner and wanted to select a place I've never been.  My friend suggested Fabio on Fire in Peoria, Arizona. When I viewed the website, I thought it looked like a casual pizza joint. I was partially right in that it was small and casual but I was wrong about it being just a pizza place. I am officially obsessed!   Located in a small strip shopping area the outside may not impress you but the food definitely will. I dined right before they closed for Labor Day weekend to expand to a larger space in the same location. I can't wait to return to see the changes and to sample more of the amazing food.   There were six adults and a child for dinner. We started with the Caprese and Charcuterie with prosciutto and delicious cheeses. I could have dined exclusively on these starters but we moved on to the lamb chop special, butternut squash ravioli, gnocchi and short rib ravioli.  Each dish was presented well and impeccably prepared.
