My meat-eating daughter declared the cordon blue and southwest pastizzi to be “so good, Mom! I loved it!” To Malta, to Joe, to Pastizzi, and forever to good energy and a warm smile. And that I did! I adored the pea curry pastizzi, golfed down the ricotta pastizzi, and slowly enjoyed the sweet blueberry cheesecake as a final anecdote. He spoke of the cultural history of pastizzi while placing the delicate handmade phyllo-wrapped (and oil-free!) goodness in a bag for me to savor later. He greeted me with a huge smile, warm heart, and friendly open energy. You can taste it, alongside their creations. He reinforced just why I love the go-getters of the culinary and cannabis field: it’s all about the passion. I met Malta Joe at the Heirloom Farmer’s Market on a tepid Sunday morning.

Crunchy breading and aromatic marinara. I even dunked a few in their fresh pesto. Chrissy Mance Fentonelli’s Pizzeria & Bar You can even take 60% off when you use our Tucson Foodie affiliate link.

This month, Spaghetti (the dog) paired her favorite wines and pool activities with her favorite Farmer’s Dog meals.

Our order comprised of the Lamb Shish Kebab, Curry Chicken, and Mixed Shish Kebab, which turned out to be a generous serving of delicious food. I went back to the Turkish Grill House this month with some adventurous friends (shoutout to Eva and Mikael!) who are constantly on the lookout for exciting new cultural cuisine. Pasta night at Penelope Pizza (Photo by Addie Ibarra) Turkish Grill House This could’ve been my last meal and it would’ve been just fine with me. The pasta was exactly how you’d want it to be, and to end things on the best note possible, we ordered the olive oil cake with a side of semifreddo. They had a cabbage salad that I typically wouldn’t have given a second glance to and now I can’t stop thinking about it. I went to Penelope’s pasta pop-up and I’ve decided to clear my schedule on every last Tuesday of the month because, in the wise words of Aerosmith, “I don’t wanna miss a thing”.
