Q: I always shopped at another grocery store...until we moved to San tan valley that is. I had always thought that the stuff at frys foods were overpriced compared to their competitors, it turns out that is only partly true. Once I started reading the flyers and looking for deals, if you buy the stuff on sale, it will almost always be cheaper at frys. The problem is if the stuff you want isn't on sale. it can tend to be a little pricier but for the sake of convenience, its a price I am willing to pay. Onto this store in particular. Its always clean, always well stocked, the clerks are always friendly and I have never had one problem there. I like the quality of the meats they have and when I do have a question, regardless of what butcher I talk to, they can point me in the right direction. The other nice thing about this store is they have a gas station in the parking lot. using your frys points, you can get 10c off per gallon once you have spent a combined 100 dollars. Its nice to have the convenience of the gas station being right there. If I were to have a gripe about anything with the store, I would have to say it is with how busy it gets at certain times of the day. its to be expected when you are the only grocery store in the area but they should expect the rush and open more lanes of cashiers to handle it. I try to avoid going at those times (5pm after work, Saturday mornings) and since I do, its a nice experience as far as grocery shopping goes.

Q: I've only hiked the Cholla Trail because the two times we have gone to Camelback, we have not been able to find parking in the super small lot at the Echo Canyon trailhead. For the Cholla Trail, you have to park on Invergordon and then walk to the trailhead. The first time we went to Camelback, we only had an hour...definitely not enough time so we barely made it halfway before having to turn around. Today, we conquered Camelback and made it to the top! Lessons learned from hiking Camelback: *Wear good hiking shoes...they will come in handy *Bring lots of water...one water bottle is not enough *Bring snacks to munch on while you enjoy the view when you reach the top *Going down is just as tough as going up...your knees will feel it *As you get closer to the top, it becomes less hiking and more climbing *If you like people watching, you will love Camelback. I swear we saw all different kinds of people, and quite enjoyed overhearing a couple of guys trying to pick up some girls at the top. *According to some hussy at the top, Barry Sanders girlfriend is a bitch. Good to know. (She was bragging to some guys how she's met NFL players before) *Enjoy the view from the top. You worked hard to get there, so take some time and relax. *I will never never never be the woman who gets to the top of Camelback and then drops and does 25 pushups. Not.Going.To.Happen.Ever. *Somebody should open a beer stand at the top of Camelback. I think they would make a lot of money. I know as soon as we reached the top, I said, "I want a beer." *I feel grateful that I have good genes that graced me with long legs. They came in handy. *Being thin does not equal being in shape. I'm getting my ass to the ASU gym and signing up for a membership this week! It's amazing that a place like Camelback exists in a major metropolitan area, but it does. I plan to take advantage of it as much as possible while we live out here!

Q: Stumbled on this place while on a shopping excursion at The Forum Shoppes. The timing couldn't have been better since we arrived during the afternoon happy hour. Nothing we ordered from the happy hour menu was over $6, including - Stella Artois - Blue Moon - Spicy Tuna Roll - Rock Shrimp w/ Ja Roll - Shrimp Tempura Roll - Whitefish Tempura Roll - Eggplant Tempura Roll - Albacore Tuna Roll - Filet Wrapped Asparagus - Crispy Chicken - Chocolate Volcano Cake The sushi was fresh and the tempura was crispy. The true testament to this place is that my wife, who does NOT each sushi, actually enjoyed most of the sushi! We both thought the Eggplant Tempura Roll was inventive and as good as any of the traditional rolls. You'd be wise to skip the Crispy Chicken completely as it was tasteless and dry. The Chocolate Volcano Cake was...amazing and I could drink the vanilla bean sauce that came with it with a straw! Keep in mind, this is basically a happy hour review, so there are probably much cooler and fancier offerings on Sushi Roku's full menu. Lastly, a shout out to James our great bar tender!

Q: I can't say enough about Ri Ra. My dinner was amazing. The service was the best I've had in years. My waiter was so spot on the entire dinner with drinks, food, etc. If you want a great evening with possibly the best food and service in Las Vegas check out Ri Ra!
