It was nice--San Tan Valley, used to be a part of Queen Creek, just
southeast of Phoenix, proper. There was another shop we never
investigated when we were out there, The Pork Shoppe, but may yet. Our
daughter moved from STV to Chandler (with other places between) a while
ago. We're planning to head out there this spring, also stop for a
couple of days at Fort Huachuca where we lived for some time. That's in
the high desert, about a mile in elevation so we got snow from time to
time. Lots of good eating out there. (G)


Our favorite pizza is a home made whole wheat crust, medium thick with a
home made marinara type sauce topped with mushrooms, onion, pepperoni,
and mozzarella cheese. We've yet to find (tho been close several times)
any place that makes it as good as we do.
