At Lon’s, at the Hermosa Inn, seared ahi tuna with yuzu-soy sauce, togarashi cracker, cilantro, and pickled onion is intriguing, with the fish is presented on a salt block atop a cast iron skillet.

The Tastes of Scottsdale

Often, when I attend a conference in one city, an event or two are held in nearby locales. I find it to be a tease, and that’s what happened in this case. As member and a co-director of the Association of Food Journalists, I attended the national convention in Phoenix in September 2018. An evening event was held in nearby Scottsdale at the Hermosa Inn. I knew then, I would need to come back to explore the vibrancy of Scottsdale’s energetic urban landscape in the Sonoran desert, Native American arts and culture, its modern and historic resorts and, of course, experience the brag-worthy culinary scene.

Poem – Winter Songs – Part 1

Across the fjord atop the snow covered mountain a still figure draped in shadows sat for days beneath the cold moon and the even colder sun.
