Mini Time Machine Museum in Tucson on our trip

Fascinating place. We could have stayed all day . . . there is so much detail. Thanks to Claire Nullmeyer for her great close-up photos.

Arizona Inn on Historical League Tour

Arizona Inn has amazing history. We are so pleased to have them in Tastes & Treasures II with their story and recipes.
Manager Patrick Cray gave us an informative tour and a small B&W book filled with history of the place. Hollywood and high society came often to Arizona Inn.
Perfect place for our group photo among the flowers.

Ruth McLeod and Cathy Shumard enjoy the beautiful furniture, surroundings

Tubac Presidio: Such history here amongst the flowers and herbs growing in the pots. Park Director Shannon Stone told us the fascinating stories behind this State Historic Park. Tastes & Treasures II cookbook is now on the shelves to add to those stories.

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.
