Arizona Winter Weather Preview

I took this photo from Interstate 17 just north of the Phoenix Metro area near Lake Pleasant. It was Christmas Day 2008 and we were on our way to the Grand Canyon via Flagstaff.

We stayed in Wickenburg on Christmas Eve and drove down US 60 to get gas in Surprise. We drove on the north loop 101 over to I-17 and headed north from there. The further north we went, the more snow we saw on the ground. By the time we got to Flagstaff, everything was covered in snow.

Wickenburg is five thousand feet lower than Flagstaff, so while there may be a snow dusting or two in the winter, it will be nothing like the snow we saw at Flagstaff and the Grand Canyon.

Gunburgers?

This is definitely the weirdest thing I found on the internet today . . .

Broccoli and Beef – Chinese Style

We don’t usually cook on Monday since we usually have leftovers from the weekend. Since Thanksgiving was last week, we had plenty of leftovers for Saturday, so we didn’t cook then and chose to have turkey and the trimmings again.

Today, even though it is our laundry day, we prepared the planned weekend meal. It’s one of our favorites, Chinese-style broccoli beef over white rice. Of course, we prepared the meal with low-sodium ingredients. In spite of that, it was just delicious.
