Turns Out There is More Than One Sirrine Who Can Cook!

Yesterday Bob and I spent the day in the Phoenix area. We are flying out to Utah this morning but wanted to spend a day with just the 2 of us. We have always wanted to try Mike Sirrine's brother's restaurant Rancho de Tia Rosa, http://www.ranchodetiarosa.com/contact.asp in Mesa, AZ. We love Mexican food and we have been told it is very good so of course we wanted to try it. We were not expecting a huge parking lot packed with cars at 11:30 on a Tuesday morning.

The funniest thing was that as we walked from our car to the door of the restaurant, we were greeted in the parking lot by Nola Sirrine, Mike's mother. She had a startled look on her face and asked what we were doing there. She was there to deliver some sort of grocery they had run out of. She looked exactly like she did last time I saw her including perfect hair, make up, and matching pink jewelry to go with her outfit. Strange that we should meet her of all people walking through a huge parking lot. She introduced us to her grandchildren Julia and Clay who were the host and hostess. Oh Christopher, better call your grandmother to let her know about the birth of your son. Anyway, we were waited on by another Sirrine, Nick.

The place was huge and we couldn't believe how many people were there so early on a Tuesday. It was well worth the visit.

Pam, it turns out there are other Sirrines who can cook almost as good as you!
