Food Bonanza in Progress
It’s Sunday and today marks our first full week in Arizona. I’m tired, calm, focused, and satisfied. There were a lot of unknowns coming into this experiment and things are working out. That’s exciting.
In seven days I’ve gotten back to three things that make me energized and balanced: riding, writing, and cooking.

It’s on the way – promise!
[...] Maynard’s Kitchen: Tucson Food Orgasm About a week after I arrived in Tucson, several friends forwarded me this New York Times article: “36 Hours in Tucson“. What luck! What timing!
