Last weekend, I went out to the Arizona-Sonara Desert Museum. The place is famous for its integration of natural elements in its campus. It's a zoo/museum/botanic gardens with a little bit of everything. I spent many hours there in the scorching afternoon desert sun, but I would go back again.As for the food out there, I stopped at the cafeteria-style dining establishment out there. Everything was overpriced, but it's a tourist spot. I got the southwest chicken cheese steak with peppers, onions and montery jack cheese. It wasn't so great. The bun got quite soggy and there wasn't a lot of flavor in it. It's hard to make a sandwich this messy look good too.
Before I left, I stopped at the gift shop. There were so many food-related items I barely knew what to do with myself. There were jalapeno and cactus jellies and jams and cookbooks 
and dip spice mixes. After admission and lunch, I let price be my guide. I picked up a few prickly pear pops for $.95 a piece. Prickly pear is only third on the list of ingredients, so I should have known it was just a tourist trap. It tasted just like a safety sucker you can get at the bank.
