Girls pick of the week.

April 16, 2010 By Marilyn Wrye-Tipps 1 Comment

This week us girls jumped in and picked something that you will probably agree is one of our favorites. A light fuchsia pink, bubbly with a hint of the sweetness of Raspberries. Have you guessed it yet? That wonderful Raspberry Champagne from Temecula Hills Winery. Established in 2000 on 11 acres where Stephen & Valerie resided is now a well established winery with over 30 medal winning wines. Providing their tasters with an array of events and tastings served by Stephen & Valerie on the weekends at Oak Mountain Winery.

Lunch Meet Up at The Mill

April 13, 2010 By Marilyn Wrye-Tipps Leave a Comment

What a blessing to live in this beautiful Valley! Today, our lunch group dined on the patio at The Mill in Murrieta. While umbrellas covered most of the heads there, I chose to sit in the sun listening to energetic chatter on either side of me. Across from me sat Marilyn, with her daughter, thoroughly enjoying a finger-lickin’ mini pizza. Ed, on the other hand, selected the lunch special for the day: a whopping dish of angel hair pasta covered with a shrimp and salmon-stocked creamy sauce. Definitely a meal fit for a king! Trasier opted for the “less calorie dense” chicken salad, most of … [Read more...]

Pamir Kabob

February 3, 2010 By Marilyn Wrye-Tipps Leave a Comment

A friend of mine and I were wondering where to go for lunch when we happened upon an unexpected pleasure. We found warm aromas of savory spices from the Middle East at Pamir Kabob House. They can bring a freezing body back to its norm. A quaint place, located next to Macaroni Grill in The Bel Villagio Plaza, they offer authentic Afghani kabobs and more. We were served a plate of humus and naan bread fresh from the oven as we looked over the menu. It was a hard choice there were salads, wraps and ethnic dishes that could hardly be pronounced. There were also a large array of vegetarian dishes. I … [Read more...]
