There are a few great mixologists in the Valley, and most cocktail connoisseurs would say Travis Nass is, hands down, one of them. He and his handlebar mustache have been creating quite a name for the Last Drop Bar at Lon's at the Hermosa Inn as a place to get unique drinks.

And if, like Mr. Burgundy, you're a fan of the stuff, then you might just be thrilled to know that Cafe ZuZu at the Hotel Valley Ho in Scottsdale will be having a scotch-filled chef's table event on May 20.

Casual gardeners, organic enthusiasts, and quite a few Mother's Day weekend duos made their way to the Arcadia Edible Garden Tour over the weekend. From 9 to 1 on Saturday visitors explored the outdoor works of 9 green neighborhood homes including Sweet Life Garden and the Farmyard. 

Overall, the tour did its part to raise awareness of CSA's, sustainability, and the home-grown movement as well as give guests the chance to ooh and ah over gardens that made our own green thumbs look more like a dull chartreuse.

Dreaming pastoral dreams? Here's a way to make the dream come true.
Starting a farm sounds really good -- in theory. Fresh produce, fresh eggs, lots of furry friends running around? Not to mention the beauty of green open spaces and plant life. On the other hand, the practical knowledge required -- you know, things like how to acquire land, buy equipment, and irrigate in the desert -- well, that stuff doesn't sound so great.

The AmeriCAN Canned Beer Festival is back again
As much as we respect beer in bottles we have to admit there are quite a few benefits that come with sipping your suds out of a can. First of all the can is much more beach and pool friendly not to mention lighter (and therefore easier to transport) and never, ever requires a bottle opener.
