The Mining Camp Dinner

Amber and Jerad flew in this evening. They came our way for dinner before heading to their condo. We went to The Mining Camp Restaurant. It's a great place that was built to resemble an old mining camp. We have been here to dinner before when we came to Mesa to visit my mom and dad many years ago. This restaurant has been in business for many years under the same ownership. It's a very popular spot.Here's some of the food we had for dinner. We started with fresh rolls with Prickly Pear Cactus jam, raisin bread, baked beans, and coleslaw. Then they brought chicken, ham and barbecue ribs. For dessert we had oatmeal raisin cookies. Notice that the food and our dinnerware is all tin. Quite fun! Oh, and I forgot to mention the water, tea, lemonade and coffee to drink. We hardly put a dent in the food, so we have lots of leftovers.
