| Our Salty Senorita promised that the soup wouldn't be too spicy. |
The sun felt good beating on our backs this afternoon at the Salty Señorita on the corner of Second and Scottsdale in Old Town. It isn't that warm out yet, but it was warmer on the sidewalk than it was indoors.
They don't have furnaces here, they have heaters. Which is all you really need, except when the Rolfsruds come to town and bring record lows with them, just like they did last year in New Orleans.
We ordered tortilla soup and chopped salad with lots of avocados and, of course, the bottomless chips and salsa.
It must have been the tortilla soup that did it, because later as we walked past a soft-serve stand, it seemed just the right thing to chill a spiced-out tongue. Nobody else was buying ice cream today, but when we saw it was "Non GMO and Certified Organic" we thought of our daughter at the grocery in Minnesota and ordered up a cone. It was especially refreshing, smooth, not granular like some soft serves.
We are now officially registered at the "Shakes & Cones Organic Soft Serve" on First Street, so if we eat $30 worth of softies, we win a $3 cone. Given all the spicy food in these parts and the promise of a drastic warmup, that's probably a sure bet.
