That Quesadilla sounds and looks delicious -- wish I had known about that restaurant when my friend and I were visiting there back in the Fall of 2010. We did thoroughly enjoy a couple of hours in a wonderful gallery there, then wandered some of the shops and 'gawked' at the sights in the yards of various homes. <br /><br />I drove through and even biked in Dead Horse but never made it up there with the rv. I was set up at Zane Grey RV Park in Camp Verde and loved it there. <br /><br />We visited Turzigoot also along with Montezuma's Castle and Well --neat places, each of them!!Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05744840704231565963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8074893393280780220.post-46294007542175397872012-03-25T13:22:33.678-07:002012-03-25T13:22:33.678-07:00Love that Cottonwood area; Dead Horse, Tuzigoot, J...Love that Cottonwood area; Dead Horse, Tuzigoot, Jerome...though we need to try your restaurant, Quince.

First time I saw Jerome was in 1971, I was with my then husband and 4 very young kids at the time, in a very beat up 1960 ford that kept heating up. In Jerome there was NO water at that time, we had to buy some glasses of water from a frumpy store to put in the radiator. I'll never forget Jerome. Looks as though it has grown a LOT! Last time I saw it was in 1997.Sue Malonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00332448503740101970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8074893393280780220.post-17097078794499088072012-03-23T19:31:48.416-07:002012-03-23T19:31:48.416-07:00Hoy!

Everything sounded yummy, tho I'm not sure about huitlacoche.<br /><br />Looked up the link you provided, I learned that according to the Aztec, this dark growth found on corn translates (rather bluntly and literally) to "ravens excrement." Well, you said they have other options!<br /><br />We're leaving next week... on the road again!

I would never think of ordering fungus. We need to be more adventurous with our food selections.

Only we call it smut & try to fling the infected ears as far as possible from the corn patch hoping there will be less infection the next year.
