Hello everyone, we really miss seeing you. As you know, our hope was to have a new place for all of us to call home by the Holidays, however things have not gone as anticipated. As the saying goes: “If you want to hear The Lord laugh, tell Him your plans.” 
Never the less, big happenings have been taking place for George and Nick and I over the past month or so: Nick took a job at the Elks Lodge of Green Valley in late November to help “keep body and soul together,” as the old saying goes, and is enjoying his position as Executive Chef there very much. He has been a member of the Elks Tucson for more than 40 years, so he is comfortable with the Lodge and it’s organization. It has been a very busy time for him, getting to know the new kitchen and staff, and with holiday banquets around every corner he is back to working 10 to 12 hour days- just as he likes it! He has committed to stay there at least through the 2012 season, and will most likely stay until we find a “Fine Dining” venue for him to tackle.
George has just recently joined the “Metro Restaurants” Group, and will be managing the Torres Blancas Restaurant. We all know George has plenty of personality to share, and this is a great way for him to keep his hand in the local business community while doing something he loves. Be sure to stop by and say hello. The Dining Room is open to the public – and you know the food will be good with George in charge
Meanwhile, I am working on a new concept for the family in the fast-casual segment of the Restaurant business. I’m hoping to close the deal within the next month, and be able to start to work at putting a place together for all of you to come to. In the meantime, I am keeping busy at home baking up new menu ideas, and conjuring new recipes for all of you to try.
As I mentioned earlier, we really miss seeing all of you that did not have a chance to join us for dinner, and hope that all of you are doing well. Lord willing we will see you in our very own dining room very soon. Please be sure to keep us up to date on what’s happening either through our FACEBOOK Page, or by email at:solarisaz@cox.net

Great News For Janie!!!
Janie was seen by her Specialty Dr’s for a 6 month follow-up, and they are (really) amazed at her progress! Things looked bad for her at the time of her diagnosis, with her condition badly deteriorated so quickly, but now the Drs tell her that her recovery is phenomenal. She is doing so well, though it is still a fact that she has MS, and a pretty aggressive case too. She is taking good care of herself, and following all the rules- and it’s paying off!
So, tremendous “Thanks” to all of you who helped her through this, whatever your gift- keep her in your prayers, and lets watch her take her life back!
We want to give A Great Big “Thank You” to all of you who have been so incredibly kind, supportive, and helpful during this most unexpected and eventful time in our lives. You know who you are, and we love you and appreciate you
Have a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful and safe New Year.
Thank you again for your loyalty.
