Olive Y'all!!!

That's right....I said it.  I love ya'll.  I mean.....Olive Ya'll!!  That's what happens when you blog at night........after drinking a bottle of $3.99 wine.  Will I regret that in the morning???  Our dinner pretty much consisted of Green Fin wine, Corona, Red Vines and hummus and chips. 

I don't care who you are - That's a dinner of champions right there!

OK, OK.  Enough about the $3.99 bottle of wine.  Back to the blog......Today we spent the morning pulling out all of our purchases and organizing them on the island so we knew what we had and didn't over buy.  Pretty sure our kitchen looked like a consignment store!  Some would think that we over bought, but really.....can you EVER over buy?  I think not.  After breakfast, analyzing our purchases and searching for the dumpster, we were off.  We set out for the Queen Creek Olive Mill at about 11:45.  I know I have mentioned Susan English before (our TomTom commentator) (TomTom being our GPS) but......Susan English was ANNOYING today!!  It was either her, or the freeways surrounding Phoenix.  Not sure who to blame....but someone is at fault none the less!  That bitch had us so turned around, we were on and off the freeway like nobody`s business!!! 

On the upside, we did see some big balls!!!  Check it out Where's Waldo style!!

 We left our condo at about 11:45 and decided to stop in Gilbert Arizona at Logan`s Roadhouse Grill for lunch.  You may have seen commercials on TV for this place, but the commercials don`t do it justice.  It is pretty much the greatest restaurant ever (for anyone who isn`t a gluten free vegan, anyways!!)  They always advertise deals of 2 can dine for $9.99, etc.  When I was in Phoenix a few years ago to see U2 in concert I ate at Logan`s and knew Trent would LOVE it.

We FINALLY arrived at Logan`s Roadhouse Grill.  On the table they have salted peanuts in the shell that you just throw onto the floor.  Aside from my slight peanut allergy, I enjoyed them immensely. 

This was before the scratchy throat.......

Not only does Logan`s provide you with peanuts in the shell, but they also give you sweet rolls and butter to start.  The sweet rolls are fresh from the oven the squishiest things EVER.  They are so good!!  Although gluten and I don't party well together, I did have about 3/4 of a bun.  The after effects were felt and documented on the IBS relief message board, but I will spare you  the deets.  Anywho - back to the glorious rolls..........I thought eating one roll was on the riskay side, but Trent REALLY liked them.  How many do you think he ate????

Yup!!  That's right - 5 Rolls!!

For lunch, Trent had the wing trio.  Apparently they were the best wings of his life.  The trio consisted of buffalo wings with homemade blue cheese, garlic Parmesan wings and grilled wings on a skewer.  I had the Sante Fe shrimp cocktail.  It was 7 grilled prawns on a skewer, shredded lettuce, grilled corn, black beans and a fresh guacamole and corn tortilla chips.  SOOO good. 

After we ate lunch, we headed off to the Queen Creek Olive Mill.  Susan English managed to get us there without any side trips!!  The Olive Mill was fun.  It was very interesting to learn about the making of olive oil and how most of the oil we buy in stores is just crap.  I will spare you the public service announcement, but know that you should either stick with better quality olive oil or just use vegetable oil. 

That's me chilling out under the olive trees.

After spending some time at the olive mill, we headed back towards home.  I found it rather interesting that we were travelling along Superstition Freeway.  Susan English didn't get us turned around, but I kept singing 'Very Superstitious, the writings on the wall..............."

Gotta Love TomTom - He's always up for an adventure!

We figured since we were in the area, we may as well stop off at Arizona Mills again and pick up anything we may have missed.  Do you honestly think I could go a day without shopping!?  SERIOUSLY!!!  So....we stopped in for some more 'mall walking'.  I picked up another sweater.......you can never have too many, as I always say!!  Nothing like an outlet mall in the Latino Projects!  Pretty sure we were the only whiteies on the premises!!

Oh Arizona Mills how I love your ghettoness in all it's glory!

We shopped until about 7:00 and headed back for home.  We figured an early night was in order.  Trent is watching South Park while I blog.  It's about 10:30 now, so probably a good time to finish.  Sorry if I blabbed a bit, but I will blame it on the $3.99 wine.  Yup - I AM still excited about that one!! 

We aren't really sure what we are going to get up to tomorrow.  We are thinking of just winging in.  We definately want to check out a Happy Hour at the local Mexicali restaurante!!  Since I am tight with the locale drug cartel, we should be able to get some good eats!! 

I hope everyone has a great night and wonderful Tuesday at work.  Feel free to leave a comment!!  We aren't really sure if anyone is actually reading this other than my mom, Rocket and MAYBE Janelle! Anyways, if anyone needs anything, just let us know.  We have lots of room!!!

Love you guys and talk soon!!!
