It’s been awhile since I’ve been out here. My preschool was nearby. Lots of places to fix up your car across the street. I came to try the Jamaican food. I’ve never been to Jamaica to try Jamaican food at it’s source but I had good Jamaican food in the Cayman Islands. Allspice, nutmeg, and […]
Fried chicken wings
Darbi’s Cafe
When I was a kid I remember going up to the mountains to play in the snow. After a few hours of frozen fun we would eat at a local rustic looking cafe or diner. Now it looks like the fast food chains are invading the Pinetop area. There are still old school places though […]
