I first attended the evening market at Citadelle Plaza located at 19420 N 59^th Ave inGlendale.  It’s held every Wed evening from 4-7 pm.

Of course I had to taste test my way through the market before making my purchase decision!  I started with homemade tamales.  My favorite was green chile and corn but there are many varieties.  Next it was on to salsa, hummus, espresso, homemade breads, and one booth had the best pickled vegetables….asparagus, green beans, and more.  You will also want to check out the locally made flavored pastas.  Add a little olive oil and fresh grated parmesan cheese, slice some fresh bread and you have dinner!

That said, I want to make a generous offer for future clients.

If you are a buyer looking for a deal on a home, these are some of the best priced homes on the market…. BUT there is a catch: Only 5% of Short Sales ever sell. Why? you ask, because they have more moving parts than any other deal out there. In other words,  ”You better have a buyer agent in your corner” that is skilled at navigating the tricky and often times lengthy process of getting offers to stick and getting these home through escrow.

My husband joined up for the Movie Club and got a screening pass for the AMC Dine-In Theatre in Phoenix at the Esplanade 14.  So last night was a dinner and a movie night out for us.  It was very nice and such fun to experience an event before it opens to the public.  The Grand Opening is September 7th so mark your calendars and go see a movie!

We went to see the movie “Limitless” and had a great time.  If you have never been to the Esplanade you should make the trip.  Great restauarants and plenty of shopping.  Now you can have dinner and a movie together!  What a great concept.  I love to go to the movies and usually my husband and I make it a date night and plan a dinner out as well.  We decide up front if we want to eat first or after but sometimes we find our selves running late and have to hurry our dinner for fear of missing the beginning of our show.  This solved all of that!  The theatre had a well thought out menu with appetizers, sandwhiches, salads and dinner entrees.  Even some delectable desserts, and even though I wanted to – I chose not to have one.   Next time I will, the Chocolate Loving Spooncake looked amazing!

We took our 13 year old son and he said it was very cool!  He had the Chicken Alfredo, said it was thumbs up, my husband had the Smoked Brisket Quesadillas and ate all of it and I had a Mushroom and Baby Swiss Burger with Fries.  Cooked perfectly!  Our server Richard did a great job and was very attentive.  However, if you need anything during the movie you can push a red button next to your chair and your server will come right out to you.  Nice!

The theatre has two types of experiences.

One is the FORK and SCREEN that offers:

• Delicious food and cocktails
• Upgraded seates in a big -screen theatre
• Reserved seating
• Seat-side servie
• Guests are over the age of 18 or accompanied by an adult

and the other is CINEMA SUITES

• Upscale theatre with an enhanced menu
• Individual luxury recliners in an intimate environment
• Reserved seating
• Seat-side service
• First-class amenities such as a gourmet popcorn sample and more
• Guests are 21 and over

There is also a cocktail lounge MACGUFFINS so you can meet friends before the show or swing by after to mingle.

Check it out – Grand Opening is September 7th go and enjoy yourself!  We did!

Thank you and have a wonderful day!

We had the pleasure of being guests of some GREAT friends on a recent visit there. And what a treat it was. We all ordered something different. Salmon, filet, shrimp and prime rib. And it all ROCKED!

The quality was impressive…and the portions generous. My husband rarely asks for a “doggie bag”…but really…he could not get it done! The ‘Baron’s Cut” was really cut for a BARON. (I had the pleasure of helping him eating it the next day)!

I chose shrimp…I know…not conventional for a steak house…but my fav. And they were the size of my palm. HUGE and yummy.

They also have Wild Wild West Seasonal Specials. Like elk and pike. Check it out…

Really…there was absolutely nothing to complain about at all. It was a great night with great friends. THANKS SKIP AND JACKIE! Next time…it’s our treat!  :)
