TRAVEL TALK | KEN BROOKS

A weekend in the Valley of the Sun With the rather exceptional warm weather both here in the Rim Country as well as the Valley you may get an itch to venture south down Highway 87 to the big city. There is so much to see and do. Almost everything you could desire is there. You can find first class theater, musical events, sporting events, museums, hiking trails, gardens, nightlife and shopping of all kinds. There is an abundance of fine hotels, resorts and spas.

What are your interests? What would you consider a good, memorable and relaxing weekend?

KEN BROOKS Now and during the spring the Valley has professional live theater — offering plays, musicals, dance and comedy. You will find the listings online. There are also numerous movie theaters showing current films that may interest you and which have not played here in Payson.

If sports is one of your main interests the Valley offers name professional teams which are either playing or may be in practice.

The first item to consider for your trip south is where to stay. My favorite location in the Valley for several reasons is Scottsdale. We have family there, but even if we didn’t, this would still be my first pick as to hotel location. Many good hotels are located here and there is so much happening. You will find interesting events, great nightlife on weekends and first class restaurants. The motels, hotels and resorts have various price ranges and you can find one that meets your desires and budget. Be nice to yourself for at least one weekend.

If you are in the mood for hiking, consider wearing out a pair of shoes on Camelback Mountain, which is ranked No. 4 of 90 attractions in Phoenix. I understand it is very strenuous, but worth it! You will get an amazing view of Paradise Valley from the summit.

Papago Park is ranked No. 11 of 90 attractions in Phoenix and is a pleasant day hike. The park offers runners both paved and dirt trails.

If yow want to burn 1,000 calories and enjoy great views, try Piestewa Peaks’ great hiking trails.

There is good hiking at Butte Trail, with beautiful views from the Phoenix Mountain Preserve. It offers more than 23,000 acres of criss-crossed trails.

If museums are of interest to you there are more than a few here. The Musical Instrument Museum is ranked No. 1 of 90 attractions in the Phoenix area. The idea of a musical instrument museum may sound stuffy, but in fact, it is anything but that. It features musical instruments from all over the world. These are in various sections spread over two floors and it will capture your interest even if music is not your thing. There is also a very fine 300seat theater that schedules various musical programs. You can consult the museum’s website online for the programs and dates of performances. The museum is very close to the Phoenix Mayo Clinic campus just

The Musical Instrument Museum in Phoenix (MIM) displays more than 6,500 instruments collected from around 200 of the world’s countries and territories. Most displays are enhanced by state-of-the-art audio and video technologies that allow guests to see the instruments, hear their sounds and observe them being played in their original contexts — performances that are often as spectacular as the instruments themselves. What’s more, all guests are invited to play instruments from around the world in the Experience Gallery.

south of Highway 101.

The Heard Museum located on Central Avenue features American Indian works and is known throughout the United States for its wonderful collection.

The Children’s Museum of Phoenix is actually interesting to all age groups. This would be a good afternoon attraction.

The Hall of Flame Museum of Firefighting is the world’s largest firefighting museum and chronicles the history of the profession and commemorates fallen firefighters. It features great exhibits and many find it most interesting.

The Phoenix Art Museum is one of the largest art museums in the Southwest and houses a permanent collection of some 16,000 works of art. Give yourself some time to appreciate this fine collection.

You might find the Wells Fargo History Museum interesting. It is small, but will offer some important history of the Old West.

The Arizona Military Museum is also interesting and many find it a worthwhile trip.

The Rosson House Museum is a beautifully restored Victorian house. It is a treasure trove of actual items used in the early 1900s. You will see items from children’s toys to classic furniture, lamps and paintings.

The Pueblo Grande Museum explores the ancient heart of Phoenix, located on a 1,500-year-old archaeological site. Some people describe it as a “hidden gem.”

The Phoenix Police Museum is interesting too — give it a try.

The Desert Botanical Garden is very pretty and worth the visit. It is located in Papago Park and specializes in desert flora.

Into racing? The K-1 track offers enthusiasts and amateurs alike an authentic and genuine racing area to enjoy fast speeds.

Pull it up online for schedules and programming.

Think you might like to try lunch at a mansion? Out the Wrigley Mansion on your itinerary.

Often on your way to Sky Harbor Airport you pass by the Tovrea Castle at Carraro Heights. It is supposed to be open, but call to inquire if this is so. It looks as though this might be most interesting.

The Phoenix Zoo is very fine and best seen during this season of the year. Be prepared for a considerable amount of walking.

The Arizona Science Center holds interest for almost everyone. You won’t be disappointed if you attend. It will enlighten all.

It houses more than 300 hands-on exhibits that will keep you involved. It is an espe-

Director Reynolds also wrote the script. He has directed such films as “Robin Hood Prince of Thieves,” the immortal “Waterworld” and the quite fine and quite well reviewed tale of Easter Island “Rapa Nui.” He wrote both “Rapa Nui” and the thriller “Red Dawn.” First time writer Paul Aiello helped with the writing.

Reynolds cast a gaggle of lesser-known, but quite accomplished actors in the supporting roles. Peter Firth is the ambitious, but fearful and unscrupulous Pilate; with his 93 credits might seem familiar. Tom Felton, late of the “Harry Potter” films as Draco Melfor plays Lucius, the eager young aide to the tribune.

Cliff Roberts, 51 credits and also somewhat familiar, plays Christ.

Clavius, the tribune at the center of the film, has Joseph Fiennes to inhabit his character. Joseph Fiennes also played the lead in “Shakespeare in Love” and in many other roles both large and small.

This might well be his best portrayal ever. Clavius is a hard-bitten soldier sent to solve what he thinks is a grave-robbing incident done for religious and, more dangerously, political reasons. We go with him as he slowly comes to think that maybe his premise is wrong. Finally he confronts the once dead but not alive Yeshua, undeniable in the very flesh. At that moment, a moment familiar to Christians, he must reconcile the irreconcilable. How can the

Blenditarian substitutions make dinnertime delicious

Finding the right daily nutritional balance is no easy feat. Managing sugar, carbohydrate, fat and red meat intake takes serious effort and planning, but transforming your favorite recipes into more nutritious family meals may be easier than you realize.

Adopting the blenditarian lifestyle is a simple solution to healthier eating. It involves, simply, blending mushrooms into meat to make every day dishes more healthful and delicious. Adding chopped mushrooms to ground beef at a ratio of at least 25 percent mushrooms can enhance the taste of dishes, deliver an extra serving of vegetables and beneficial nutrients, and trim total calories and fat intake.

Any mushroom variety will work. Creminis and portabellas lend rich, earthy flavors to any meal, while white button mushrooms offer a more delicate taste. For the more adventurous eaters, maitake and shiitake varieties bring a bold woodsy taste and meaty texture to the plate.

The key to blending is developing the perfect mushroom consistency. For example, if using ground meat for tacos or burgers, chop mushrooms to mimic the familiar crumbled texture, using a knife and cutting board, food processor or vegetable chopper. For stews, halve or quarter mushrooms, or slice them to match strips of meat in fajitas or stir-fry.

And right there does Joseph Fiennes the actor show the face of a man doing just exactly that, a rational man processing the impossible. I nearly wept at the intensity of that moment on film portrayed by that actor. It makes for a shocking and exhilarating moment.

This four halo movie lasts for one hour and 47 minutes while carrying a mild PG-13 rating. The Crucifixion scene has some disturbing images however, so those under the recommend age might well stay away.

The producers allowed $20 million for the budget, which director Reynolds spent well. It opened on Friday at No. 2 and finished out the weekend with a gross of $12 million and settled into the No. 3 spot. People are coming to see it.

Recorded in all four New Testament Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke and John) as well as non-Christian sources such as Josephus — A Jewish Historian; Mara Bar-Serapion Tacitus — A Roman Historian; The Jewish Talmud; Lucian of Samosata, Greek Satirist; Syrian prisoner.

So even though many did not believe in Jesus Christ as the Son of God and the Son of Man, there was evidence in their writings that prove Jesus was resurrected.

JESUS’ APPEARANCES TO THE DISCIPLES AND OTHERS Nearly all scholars who study Jesus’ resurrection agree that Jesus’ disciples believed he had appeared to them raised from the dead, following his crucifixion.

The conclusion comes from data that suggest two main factors.

The disciples themselves claimed the risen Jesus appeared to them.

The disciples were transformed from frightened individuals who went into hiding and denial at Jesus’ death to bold witnesses proclaiming the resurrection of the Lord. These two points are confirmed by Paul’s testimony about the disciples, the oral tradition of the early church, and the written works of the early church.

Peter, Paul and John wrote their own personal experiences throughout scripture. Paul shares in I Corinthians 15 his account. In addition, these appearances were established by the written tradition, including the Gospels and works of the apostolic and early church fathers (Origen, Polycarp, Tertullian), not to mention Jesus appearing to the men on the road and others.

JESUS’ TOMB WAS EMPTY These points clearly prove that the tomb was indeed empty due to the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.

All four Gospels report that the tomb of Jesus was discovered empty by women. The culture of the Jewish society, a women’s testimony would not be honored in a court of law. So if someone were making this up as a false claim, that person would use male witnesses that would be honored in that culture. The fact that the Gospels document the women as witnesses is a fact that points to the tomb being actually empty due to the resurrection of Christ.

Enemies testified of an empty tomb. If someone does not support facts as being true, then why would they mention it as such? If testimony about an event or person is given by a source who does not sympathize with the person, message or cause then there is reason to believe the testimony is true. Some of these sources include Justin Martyr’s Dialogue with Trypho 108, Tertullian’s Spectacles 30, Jewish Toledoth — “he was not in his grave,” Matthew 28: 11-15 “You are to say, ‘His disciples came during the night and stole him away while we were asleep.’”

The most plausible explanation covering this historically reliable information is that Jesus Christ was crucified, buried, and was resurrected from the grave.

CALL TO ACTION Now that you have come, you have read and you have seen, will you believe in the resurrection of

Jesus Christ? Will you believe in Him as your personal Lord and Savior?

This month as the world annually celebrates Resurrection Sunday, will you join in celebration through demonstration of bowing your knee, humbly confessing sins and completely serving Jesus Christ as your Lord?

Identifying your garden preferences Yes, we know, if you have a green thumb — or hope to develop one, with these great temperatures, you are about to jump out of your skin and get going on that garden. Please, wait a few weeks before putting those poor defenseless seeds and bedding plants in the soil. Instead, do some planning. Here are some suggestions.

A personal garden is only limited by the constraints of a person’s imagination. The vast array of plants and flowers available from all over the world can turn anyone’s yard into a melange of functional spaces.

When designing a garden, many homeowners do not know where to begin. Much like decorating the interior of a home, how a garden landscape is executed depends on various factors.

CLIMATE AND CONDITIONS

The foremost consideration when planting a garden is the climate where the garden will be located. Planting items that are not conducive to growing in certain conditions can be counterintuitive and a waste of money and effort.

Prospective gardeners must become familiar with the hardiness zones of their region prior to making any plans. This will help you to determine which types of plants will thrive on your landscape. Once this is determined, examination of the soil and conditions on the property is also helpful. Taking this step will help identify any plant deterrents, such as poor soil quality and pH as well as any pests that may impede plant growth.

If you live in a hot, sandy location, lush tropical plants may not thrive. Therefore, even if you desire a Mediterranean look, you may have to settle for something that works better with your landscape conditions.

STYLE OF THE HOME

Landscaping designs often tie into the architectural style of a home. For example, an extensive Asian-inspired garden complete with koi pond and bonsai may look odd in front of a log home.

Keep architecture in mind when planning a garden so the look of the home you present is cohesive and fits with the community and immediate vicinity.

you tick will help you to choose a gardening style that will be easier to maintain and also make you feel comfortable. For example, prairie-style planting or wildflower gardens are dramatic ways to create natural points of color over a large area. Most plants are allowed to grow as they may.

Those who like a dreamy ethereal feel to their gardens may be inspired by cottage designs, where generously filled borders overflow into a flower and foliage paradise.

If you are more inclined to fol-

Some people are more focused on the accents in their gardens than the plants themselves.

Modern architecture pairs well with a contemporary style that blends minimalist accents and easy-to-maintain plants.

Although you can change plants in your garden, investing in a garden that you will be happy with for a long time is a costly

venture. You may want to consult a landscape architect or local nursery to find the plants and trees that fit with your design and lifestyle. These experts can also instruct you in how to maintain all of your hard work and when to expect the full impact of your new landscape to take form.

Homeowners can browse ideas for gardens in magazines and online, but ultimately it will be up to their personal design preferences and the climate where their home is located to determine which garden will look and grow best.

Alfred Randall built the original two-room log cabin from local pine trees in 1881, and its footprint is the current entryway of the restaurant.

From its earliest days, local residents would get their mail there, while enjoying the hospitality of the lady of the house, who served pies, coffee and bread to visitors.

Since 1998, proprietors Barbara and Patrick O’Connor have continued the Randall family’s tradition of hospitality, offering breakfast and lunch every Wednesday through Sunday, all year long.

items in the gift shop. During summer, guests can dine outside in the beautiful flower garden. Some people drive all the way from the Valley just to eat at The Randall House.

Barbara is the head chef, whose decades of experience provide her a creative outlet through food. She meticulously prepares each order using the freshest ingredients available.

The breakfast menu (served until 11 a.m.) consists of omelets, egg scrambles, homemade vegetable quiche, croissants, multi-grain pancakes and French toast made from homemade French bread.

She even creates her own granola. A local favorite is her Ham and Cheese Croissant, which is served on croissants made from scratch in The Randall House kitchen.

Signature salads highlight The Randall House’s luncheon menu (available after 11 a.m.). Try the salmon salad, with fresh grilled salmon on romaine lettuce with pine nuts, red onion, tomatoes and cucumbers, or the Salade Nicoise, a traditional French salad of white albacore tuna, green beans, eggs, olives, tomatoes and red onion.

Additional choices include spinach Waldorf salad, curry cashew chicken salad, Greek salad, and balsamic bleu, with sun-dried

tomatoes, dried cranberries, praline pecans and bleu cheese. All of Barbara’s salads are tossed with fresh dressings prepared onsite daily.

Daily soup specials use seasonal ingredients and are homemade on the premises, the most popular of which is navy bean and Barbara’s personal favorite, old-fashioned chicken noodle soup. Barbara’s grilled burgers are patron favorites, made from 100 percent Angus beef served on fresh Kaiser buns. Wraps and deli sandwiches complete the luncheon menu.

Barbara’s pastries are legendary, made from scratch every day, and vary according to season.

Fresh fruit and cream pies are sold by the slice or whole (they go fast). Brownies, muffins, scones, and homemade bread pudding are also available.

Gluten-free items are offered upon request. All customer requests for special preparation or ingredients are accommodated whenever possible. You can be sure your order will be prepared with care.

Specialty drinks include an espresso bar, fresh fruit smoothies, Italian sodas, homemade strawberry lemonade and homemade ginger ale.

Last year, The Randall House offered a take-out homemade reheatable pot roast, which is available on selected days. It won the Best Savory entry award at last year’s A Taste of Rim Country event. The Randall House is one of the event’s most loyal participants, and organizers can’t wait to see what goodies Barbara and her staff will create for it this year.

The Randall House offers catering services for private parties of six or more guests. Call Barbara at 928-476-4077 for details.

His father owns a chain of Italian restaurants in the San Diego area, and Rick has learned the business inside and out over the years. For the past 19 years, he and his sous-chef, Chris McKimm, has overseen the staff at the casino restaurants (Cedar Ridge Restaurant, The Grille, Apache Spirits Lounge and the Coffee Korner) as they prepare food for hundreds of people each day.

The menu of the Cedar Ridge Restaurant is one of the most extensive in Rim Country. Most of the items are Rick’s creations.

He believes in developing his own dishes through experimentation and taste. You won’t see him using measuring cups in his kitchen. He loves to improve upon familiar dishes and periodically edits his menus.

For breakfast, try his southwest omelet with chorizo, green chilies, onions and jack cheese, or classic eggs Benedict with his homemade hollandaise sauce.

You can go classic with steak and eggs, or pancakes, Belgian waffle or French toast.

For lunch, signature sandwiches include an 8-ounce ribeye steak sandwich, or Rick’s new Cubano sandwich, made from pulled pork, ham, sweet pickles, Swiss cheese and homemade Mojo sauce on a toasted roll. Luncheon salads include classic Caesar, Asian chicken and the grilled steak CONTINUED ON PAGE 8

salad, marinated steak in spring mix greens tossed with homemade roasted red pepper balsamic vinaigrette dressing, tomato wedges, red onion and feta cheese.

For lighter fare, consider the Four Aces, a grilled chicken breast with cottage cheese, cucumber and tomato slices and seasonal fruit.

Cedar Ridge is the only restaurant in Rim Country with a daily prime rib special.

All the beef served at the Cedar Ridge, from steaks to burgers, comes from 100 percent grass-fed Angus beef of the highest quality.

The daily soup and salad buffet consists of dozens of dishes, each prepared fresh daily from scratch.

The casino kitchen staff meticulously prepares each dish only after it has been ordered, and Rick insists upon the highest standards of cleanliness and safety from his staff. Do you have a special request or food allergy? Rick and his staff will accommodate any special requests.

Private events are catered in special dining rooms of the casino that can accommodate parties of less than 25 to more than 400.

Recently, Rick catered an event attended by former Governor Jan Brewer. He created a special entrée, Chicken Oscar, made

from flattened chicken breast breaded and sautéed with crab meat and topped with his hollandaise sauce and asparagus. The former governor was so impressed that she walked back into the kitchen area, accompanied by her bemused security detail, to compliment Rick on how delicious it was.

Rick appears monthly on AZTV’s KAZT channel 7 “Morning Scramble” show to demonstrate cooking techniques. You can view previously aired segments on YouTube. Watch for him in March, when he will demonstrate Irish cuisine in honor of St. Patrick’s Day. The casino has been one of the event’s most loyal participants over the years, and organizers can’t wait to taste what Rick develops for this year.

Rim Country Health & Retirement 807 W. Longhorn Road, Payson AZ 928-474-1120 www.rimcountryhealth.com Follow on Facebook.com Time was, nursing home patients were given no alternatives to their treatment and diet. Boy, have things changed! Today’s retirement communities are consumer-based, just like any other service organization, and cater to client preferences.

Nowhere is this trend more evident than

in the dietary department of Rim Country Health and Retirement.

Carol Bouley, dining services director, and chef Adrienne Sussman have 65 years of experience in the food industry between them, and they organize the complicated menus served at Rim Country Health (RCH) and supervise a staff of 12 workers.

Each day, they serve three meals to more than 100 patients, plus their family members and visitors.

Adrienne was trained at the Arizona Biltmore and is no stranger to high quality dining. She utilizes these skills at RCH, introducing dishes from her native New England, and experimenting with healthy food alternatives — quinoa (pronounced keen’-wah), whole grain rice, Greek yogurt, and more. Some of the herbs she uses are grown in the resident garden at RCH, and she even makes her own curry seasoning.

She loves to experiment, introducing protein through sources other than red meat. She created snacks of peanut butter, chocolate chips, oats, and yogurt that were more palatable to some of the clients who were unable to tolerate traditional red meat dishes. She also created roasted drained and seasoned chick peas, which can be eaten like peanuts. She has introduced Native American, Hispanic and

Indian cuisines into the menus at RCH. The dietary staff is challenged by the health status of patients, said Carol. Many clients take medication that affects their palate, and it is important to create dishes that provide enough nourishment to expedite healing and well-being.

Upon admission, each client is interviewed for food allergies, menu preferences and ethnic requirements, and the dietary staff designs options to conform to these individual needs.

The menu at Rim Country Health offers two entrees for each meal. Main entrees are served on a five-week rotation, and the menu changes seasonally. Second choices are offered daily, and reflect the season and preferences of the changing patient population, as well as the creative impulses of the dietary staff. All meals must conform to state nutritional standards and include specified amounts of protein, carbohydrates, fruits and vegetables. Special dietary restrictions must also be observed (no salt, puree and other therapeutic diets).

The staff has also catered events for organizations that have a vested interest in elder citizen services, such as the Alzheimer’s Association and Mogollon Health Alliance (now the MHA Foundation).

The great majority of dishes are prepared from scratch every day. You won’t find canned foods in this kitchen; the staff uses only fresh or frozen vegetables and fruits.

In 2015, RCH received a perfect score on its Gila County Health Inspection, which scrutinized not only the food quality, but cleanliness and safety standards executed by the staff.

The last time Rim Country Health participated in the A Taste of Rim Country event, it placed second in the Savory division. Whatever they choose to serve this year, it will surely be delicious!

Kendra’s Country Bakery 928-478-4696 www.kendrascountrybakery.com Follow on Facebook.com Kendra’s Country Bakery was founded in 2000, but its roots go back two generations. Owner Kendra Lewison’s grandfather, Nicholas Fitch, was a food service director for Mesa schools for many years and was an award-winning chef.

Kendra fondly remembers his tradition of hiding a buttercream red rose in every cake he made. Her grandmother, Nedra Fitch, operated the Chicago Cubs spring training concessions for more than two decades.

After growing up in Mesa, Kendra and her husband Jerry moved to Tonto Village east of Payson 22 years ago, because, “We wanted to raise our kids on a dirt road.” And, they did!

Six children (including a set of twins) later, Kendra established her business of custom baking, specializing in cakes, but offering other baked goods — breads, scones, cupcakes, cookies, pies and more.

She was trained in specialty flowers by Scott Clark Woollery of Cakes By Design in New York, who has created cakes for George W. Bush, Maria Shriver, Christie Brinkley and other luminaries. She is assisted in her artistry by her daughter Maureen, whom she trained as a fondant specialist.

Fondant is a sugar product that can be dyed, rolled, molded and shaped, like Play-Doh, but edible. She creates her exquisitely life-like flowers from a homemade fondant recipe.

In fact, everything created at Kendra’s Country Bakery is homemade from scratch, even the marshmallows for her s’mores cupcakes! You won’t find any boxed cake mixes in her kitchen. She offers four basic flavors of cakes from old CONTINUED ON PAGE 14

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Whatever decisions you’re faced with this week, rely on your strong Aries instincts, and base them on your honest feelings, not necessarily on what others might expect you to do.

TAURUS (April 30 to May 20) Your sensitive Taurean spirit is pained by what you feel is an unwarranted attack by a miffed colleague. But your sensible self should see it as proof that you must be doing something right.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) More fine-tuning might be in order before you can be absolutely certain that you’re on the right track. Someone close to you might offer to help. The weekend favors family get-togethers.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) The week continues to be a balancing act ‘twixt dreaming and doing. But by week’s end, you should have a much better idea of what you actually plan to do and how you plan to do it.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Changing your plans can be risky, but it can also be a necessary move. Recheck your facts before you act. Tense encounters should ease by midweek, and all should be well by the weekend.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) You might still be trying to adjust to recent changes. But things should improve considerably as you get to see some positive results. An uneasy personal matter calls for more patience.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Congratulations. Your good intentions are finally recognized, and long-overdue appreciation should follow. Keep working toward improvements wherever you think they’re necessary.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 2) Try to look at your options without prejudging any of them. Learn the facts, and then make your assessments. Spend the weekend enjoying films, plays and musical events.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Someone might want to take advantage of the Sagittarian’s sense of fair play.

But before you ride off to right what you’ve been told is a wrong, be sure of your facts.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) You might be surprised to learn that not everyone agrees with your ideas. But this can prove to be a good thing. Go over them and see where improvements can be made.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) After taking advice on a number of matters in recent months, expect to be called on to return the gesture. And, by the way, you might be surprised at who makes the request.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Reassure everyone concerned that a change of mind isn’t necessarily a change of heart.

You might still want to pursue a specific goal, but feel a need to change the way you’ll get there.

BORN THIS WEEK: You are able to make room in your heart for others, and that makes you a very special person in their lives.

14 | MARCH 2, 2016 • RIM REVIEW

Taste of Rim event helps Payson library help everyone FROM PAGE 9

family recipes: vanilla, chocolate, carrot and red velvet, but she can improvise according to any customer’s needs.

Her fillings are also made from scratch, from lemon curd to fruit fillings.

It takes several days to several weeks to make a custom wedding cake, depending on the intricacy of the pattern. Kendra uses a Rice-Krispie-marshmallow (homemade, of course!) base re-enforcement for cakes whose weight requires extra support.

The process begins with a consultation in her home, where the customer can taste her four basic cake recipes along with her specialty fillings. The fee for the consult is $25, which will be applied to the final cake price. Customers are encouraged to express their interests/hobbies, even bring photos of their favorite things, so that Kendra can create an authentically unique cake that will enhance their event’s significance.

The largest cake she ever made was a five-tier cake that used up to 40 cups of flour and took four people to lift.

Kendra’s husband Jerry is her “Go To” guy, assisting whenever needed. He built a special gurney to transport their cakes safely.

In 2016, for the second year in a row, Kendra’s Country Bakery was awarded the Couples Choice Award from Wedding Wire (weddingwire.com), an online wedding planning site. The site has given Kendra a 5-star rating of excellence, at the top 5 percent of cake vendors registered with the site.

Kendra created a cake for Super Bowl 49 that was featured in Cake Central, an online community of cake decorating professionals.

Kendra’s Country Bakery is a first-time participant in the 2016 A Taste of Rim Country and organizers know she will offer a memorable entry!

Sheila’s Creekside Steakhouse and Tavern 1520 E. Christopher Creek Loop, Payson Ariz.

928-478-4557 Hours: 8 a.m to 8 p.m.

Monday – Thursday 8 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Friday – Sunday Follow on Facebook.com Christopher Creek Steakhouse For more than 40 years, the Christopher Creek Steakhouse has been a favorite watering hole for both residents and travelers in Rim Country. Recently, manager Shelia Marcum brought the old building up to code, modernized the kitchen, planted an herb garden on the grounds, and expanded activities to enhance their customers’ dining experience.

The steakhouse’s menu fea-

tures old-fashioned good cooking — the kind you’d get in Grandma’s kitchen, made from scratch with fresh ingredients, just like Grandma would, and all at reasonable prices. The Christopher Creek community is small and close-knit, and the restaurant maintains that spirit in its food, service and ambiance.

The breakfast menu, served until 11 a.m., offers classic entrees — steak and eggs, biscuits and homemade gravy, pancakes and French toast, with sides of homemade hash browns, fresh fruit in season and choice of toast or biscuit.

Lunch offers the Creekside’s signature Mad Jack sandwich, made popular by Dan Haggarty (of the “Grizzly Adams” TV show), featuring Jack cheese with bacon, tomatoes and green chilies grilled on sourdough bread. If you’re in the mood for a regular BLT, try the Creekside’s version on a toasted hoagie bun. The chicken bacon ranch sandwich is a customer favorite. You can also get the country fried steak, named after Arizona writer and historian Marshall Trimble, which he orders whenever he is in town. Burgers made from fresh (never frozen) ground beef, and salads complete the lunch menu. For a side dish, consider Sheila’s homemade mac and cheese (no blue boxes here!).

Every day, the restaurant offers homemade soups, with fresh seasonal ingredients. Drinks include the usual soft drinks and teas, but you can also get an old-fashioned cream soda and root beer float.

Desserts include homemade pies

True to its name, the restaurant’s dinner menu features Angus steaks grilled to order as well as ribs, roast beef, seafood, meatloaf, and pizza prepared with homemade sauce. Specials are available six days a week: Monday — barbecued ribs; Tuesday — soft tacos with rice and beans; Wednesday — all-you-can-eat spaghetti; Thursday — burger night; Friday — all-you-can-eat fish fry; Saturday — family pizza night.

good unplugged time together, complemented with pizza.

Any new items on the menu come taste-tested by members of the Christopher Creek Fire Department, Sheila says. She is a big supporter of the CCFD, and many special events at the restaurant benefit the department. If any dish passes muster with the firemen, it will go on the menu.

The breakfast burrito is one of their favorites.

If you have a special order request to accommodate food allergies (no peanut oil is used at Creekside) or gluten sensitivity, the chefs at Creekside will create it, as long as they have the ingredients on hand.

This year, Sheila is enlarging the restaurant’s gift shop to include locally made jams and jellies, local honey, handmade jewelry and craft items from local artists, and books by local writers. A Creekside cookbook will be coming out in May. She is also planning a “Paint Your Palate” event, at which guests can follow local artist Terry Gladflores in creating an original painting.

Each season, the Creekside holds a Wine in the Pines event.

Reasonably priced at $20 per person, the evening includes an etched wine glass, and four wines to complement the food served. The winter event was a Valentine’s celebration in February. The spring event is scheduled for April.

The Creekside will cater events by special request, usually at the nearby Christopher Creek Lodge, that can accommodate larger parties. The restaurant itself can cater small, cozy gatherings in its Hashknife room. ***** A Taste of Rim Country is hosted by the Library Friends of
