Tasting The World? That's One Way To Experience It!

This is my family. A daughter and several grandkids are missing from this pic. My husband is the guy in black and white. This was taken near Father's Day at the Talking Stick resort buffet.

I often think I should do a food blog locally since we have experienced many different eateries here in Phoenix. Talking Stick serves up the best casino buffet we have had here. From overall presentation to selection, hands down Talking Stick Resort! They have a beautiful dessert station! Every kind of delectable taste treat you could desire resides there. From mini parfaits to cannoli's, cakes to cream pies, cookies to gelato...pastries to tarts. Oh my gosh I've gained 10 pounds just thinking about it! I wish I had taken a picture that I could post here.

Anyway, much of our lives are spent enjoying the things we can taste. Taste the world! That is exactly how my husband views life. He wants to experience life by tasting all this world has to offer.
He is the most diverse eater I will ever encounter. He has tried almost every edible thing, I think. I
think he has overlooked his calling as a food critic. He loves the experience of fine food. He is incredibly discerning, not just your average eater. If it's less than par he can tell in an instant! He's taught me a lot about what good food is and what it tastes like. We have become rather snobby with our knowledgeable palates. Experience is the best teacher.

The downside is that I have to cook for this man. Mostly we just eat out on the weekends. So
Monday- Thursday I'm scrambling for ideas to make eating interesting. He gets pretty much the basics from me. I don't claim to be a great cook, I just cook. He gets down home Americanized food from me. He's come to except this in our 13 years together. I enjoy cooking for a crowd and baking the most. I love to host parties!
