Saturday night we had what we hope to be is a monthly girls' night out. We started this whole thang at Tapino in Scottsdale. It's a tapas restaurant that sources their ingredients locally (yay!).
We all had fun trying new things. Liz (pictured above with me) tried beets for the first time and boy were they good. They were from Kelly's farm Desert Roots (she gets some of her stuff from Frank at Crooked Sky). I got to have my carpaccio which was so good. They also brought out lobster hot dogs (they weren't my fave), crusted goat cheese (awesome), pork empanadas, short ribs (yum), fried okra with harissa (yum but cut weird - the long way, not crosswise - not the best for okra though it was tender), Beth and I had watermelon mojitos, some of the other ladies got wine and we finished dinner with a fancy fruit salad, homemade smores and drumsticks, spoons of creme brulee and strawberry doughnuts.
How bad can that be?
But before we made it to Tapino we celebrated Mike and Suzanne's daughter's first birthday with some Sprinkles Cupcakes. Happy First Cate!
