WNPA re-orders Tastes & Treasures II again

During the Historical League bus tour of SE Arizona, we stopped in to show them Tastes and Treasures II: A Storytelling Cookbook of Historic Arizona. Western National Parks Association has re-ordered several times since that initial visit in May 2018. They have a large number of venues all over Arizona, including Tumacacori and Saguaro in Tucson.
Enjoy our National Parks and don't forget to browse the books in their gift shops!
Thanks to Chris Hackett for mailing boxes of books to WNPA!

Visit to Tubac Golf Resort and Spa

Tastes & Treasures II is now on the shelves at the beautiful Tubac Golf Resort gift shop. We toured this historic venue on our recent overnight trip to SE Arizona. Full of history, we enjoyed a detailed talk, then walking tour of the grounds. So much to see and learn!
Did you know . . .
The Otero Family who were the original settlers of the property dating back to 1789.
Cattle still roam the fields, occasionally near the golf course.
Juan Batista DeAnza was the commandant of the Tubac Presidio and led an expedition west that ultimately founded the city of San Francisco.
The Tubac Golf Resort and Spa was made famous by Kevin Costner’s 1996 movie “Tin Cup,” where many of the scenes were filmed.

Tastes & Treasures now at Santa Cruz Chili and Spice Co.

The aroma of spices fills the air as you walk into this amazing shop. Tastes & Treasures II is now sharing space on the shelves with these wonderful scents. You can find so many wonderful ingredients for recipes in our Tastes & Treasures II cookbook.

So glad we got to visit Jean England Neubauer at Santa Cruz Chili and Spice Co. in Tumacacori, AZ. She stayed open just for us!

Jean's parents have deep roots in the southwest with ranching, Hollywood films and saddle-making (McClellan saddle popular with the US Army.)

Historical League tours are amazing . . . we discover so much and learn history of the Southwest.
