Susan & Breck ( from Roseville CA), were staying in Scottsdale so we
decided to spend the day together. Susan is actually only 73, but we
have been friends for over 50 years, that's how she got the title
of being my "Oldest Friend".
After a variety of photos and lots of talking, we
headed out for lunch.
"Queen Creek Olive Mill is a unique agri-tourism experience and marketplace.
As a local sustainable farm, they produce Arizona's only extra
virgin olive oil. Visitors from all over enjoy "Olive Oil 101"
an educational tour where you'll learn how they
make extra virgin olive oil, how to use it in your kitchen,
and why it's so darn good for you!
This shows only a small portion
of their menu which
also included Antipasti, Bruschetta
Pizza and full entrees in addition to a kids menu.
(Remember to click on any photo for a larger view.)
The men opted for the Kalamata Sandwich to get a meat fix
to go with their beer. Susan and I both ordered the Lucca Sandwich
which went nicely with our ice tea.
While we waited for our lunch, the men sat and visited
while Susan and I toured the gift shop and
did some olive oil tasting and picked up a variety
of free full color recipe cards (which are featured in
the last photo).
Perry Rea, owner and master blender, said,
"Queen Creek Olive Mill opened its eatery in 2007
to share my passion for simple, delicious and healthy
cuisine with the guests visiting the Olive Mill."
You could select seating on the patio under the misters,
an outside table in the shade under the olive trees!!!
We opted to sit inside in the a/c since it was already
97 at 1:00 p.m.
Susan and I did shop on the way out, selecting a
variety of items. They had many wooden items made
from what else... olive wood, so I added that to my basket.
This is a great tourist/luncheon
opportunity to share with your "old friends".
Till next time Susan... Thanks for visiting us.
