Upon the advice of good friend Joy, from Sarasota, Papa and I celebrated my birthday once again over dinner at the Dove Mountain Ritz Carlton in Tucson last night. The drive into the Tortolito Mountains was beautiful, as they are covered in enormous old saguaro. At dinner, we opted for the prefix menu, with a basket of various breads served with three chili butter, gazpacho, crispy chicken over a melange of vegetables, and berry tart with ice cream for dessert. As the sun was setting, we watched as cauldrons were lit around the grounds, with smoke from the fires scenting the air. Nice!
