Titles of blogs just come out of nowhere and some I apologize for but it is what it is…
Inspiration comes from either the post, the product or what’s in my mind at the time of writing it…
This weekend was a blast we had a good time with family, friends which are basically family (The Forsbergs) and just good experiences…

The title for this blog was inspired from an SNL skit from last week w/ J Lo, yes just watch and laugh!

I live in suburbia-ville Arizona and finding unique and non-chain eateries is a little difficult but NOT impossible…
There’s always GREAT Mexican food but how about a SUPER RAD DELI???

Here we go, “The Deli” in Queen Creek is the name and fresh ingredients, family owned and GREAT food is the game….

About a week ago my friend Marc, my son PJ and I hit it up and grabbed some great food there…
The menu @TheDeliQC

We split 2 sandwiches:
Roasted Chicken Breast & Brie Cheese w/ Avocado, Cucumber, Greens and Sweet/Hot Mustard on Ciabatta
&
Roast Beef & Melted Pepper Jack w/ Caramelized Onions, Bell Peppers & Creamy Horseradish on a Baguette

Oh yeah had to catch a local AZ beer w/ lunch, NIMBUS BREWERY Old Monkey Shine nice mellow English Ale…

Heres the son of the owner, nice guy and I noticed the wine grapes so had to see the whole sleeve, pretty rad if you ask me…
Wine and cheese…

Told you kind of hidden and random but seriously nothing is hidden about their food…!!!! If you EVER make it out to my “neck of the desert” we’ll have to go!

Parker leaves you with a crazy face….

Winter X Games 14 in Aspen has come and gone and guess what…
I was there!!!

After my experience of working with X Games this past summer announcing Rally Car Racing I was contacted to announce for all snowmobiling disciplines which includes Freestyle, Best Trick, SnoCross, SnoCross Adaptive and Knockout…

What an experience, from the professionalism to the friendships I made, just being at the entire Winter X Games was an experience I’ll never forget and hopefully it’s not my last
Thanks to everybody involved and to those that helped me get me where I am today and helping me build for the future… I’m more open, honest and sincere with all my friends, family and confidants that have helped me, THANK YOU!

Without further ado Winter X Games 14 with Jarod DeAnda…

Press play! I sung this song every day while in Aspen for some reason, so it’s the soundtrack for my Winter X Games experience…
