LIFESTYLE LETTER

Step outside. Draw in the desert air.

Celebrate Spring!

Happy Spring desert dwellers.

Safe to say we all thrill at the chance to step outside and take in a deep breath of our desert air at this time of year.

The palo verde trees are dropping snowdrifts of yellow blossoms. On a quiet morning, the chorus of a thousand doves cooing rises to our ears. And soon the saguaros will don crowns of white blossoms.

This is our beautiful home. And life is very good.

Our April issue is dedicated to home and ways we can create fresh, new environments inside and outside. Check out the sophisticated cabinets and counters designed by our very own Canyon Cabinetry & Design; clean and classy on full display starting on Page 16.

And Affinity Kitchens encourages us to bring the outdoors in, and the other way around, too on Page 24. Freshness abounds with new kitchen designs.

Meanwhile, eggs might still be $1 each. But breakfast would not be the same without our morning protein bombs. Check out recipes for new ways to enjoy those easter eggs.

And please allow me a moment to clear up an issue in our last issue. In our story about Benjamin Supply -- everyone's favorite kitchen and bath plumbing supplier -- yours truly botched it. We misspelled the Berman family's last name. As the family that built this amazing retailer into a must-visit, the least we could do is get that right. Sorry about that! And rest in peace, Mr. Berman.

Our earnest efforts to bring out the best in southern Arizona have now spanned a full 12 issues. Thank you to our partners who make this possible.

We are a small but incredibly passionate team.

We are Megan Ewing, a senior at the University of Arizona and our editor.

Contributing authors include another Wildcat, Anna Maynard, the most excellent writer and style editor. Steve Browning and Sybill Velarde share their thoughts and appreciation for all things Tucson as our arts and food editors, respectively.

This is a special team that cares about our lives together. So give us a shout. Share your ideas. And let your neighbors know we are all here, united in the quest to bring the best to your doorstep every month.

Eggs,

SOUFFLÉS AND QUICHES

Whether the egg preceded or followed the chicken, there is absolutely no question which comes first at the breakfast and brunch table. Eggs lend themselves to a staggering variety of dishes. Sample from one of the many delicious recipes below!

Quiche Lorraine

Serves 4

I N G R E D IE N T S PASTRY: • • • • •

6 ounces plain flour Pinch of salt 3 ounces butter 1 ounce margarine A little cold water to mix

FILLING: • • • • • • •

1 egg and 1 egg yolk 1 ounce grated cheese Seasoning 5 ounces milk 2 ounces bacon, diced 1 small onion, finely sliced 1/2 ounce butter

DIRECTIONS Make the pastry by placing the flour, salt, butter and margarine in a food processor until the mix resembles breadcrumbs.

Add a little water to get the mix altogether.

Remove and line a 7 inch pie mould. Then prepare the filling by beating the eggs in a bowl, adding seasoning, cheese and milk. Melt the butter in a small pan, add the bacon and the onion. Cook slowly until just golden in color, then pour into the egg mixture. Mix and pour into the pastry case. Bake at 375F until firm and golden brown, about 30 minutes.

WHAT CAME FIRST? THE CHICKEN OR THE EGG?

Eggs Benedict Serves 4

INGREDIENTS • • • • • • • • •

4 large slices of prosciutto 4 eggs 4 English muffins Hollandaise Sauce: 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter 3 egg yolks 2 tablespoons water 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice Salt and freshly cracked pepper.

DIRECTIONS FOR HOLLANDAISE SAUCE: Melt the butter in a small saucepan over very low heat, without letting it get brown.

Put the egg yolks, water and lemon juice in a blender and process until frothy. With the blade turning, gradually pour the butter in a steady stream until the sauce is thickened and glossy. Set over a bowl of hot water and cover to keep warm.

Broil the prosciutto slices (or fry) until crisp, then keep warm in a low heat oven.

To poach the eggs, bring a saucepan of lightly salted water to a boil. Add 1 tablespoon vinegar and reduce to a gentle simmer. Swirl the water well with a fork and crack 2 eggs into the water. Cook for 3 minutes, remove with a slotted spoon and repeat with the remaining eggs.

Meanwhile, toast the muffins whole and top each with a slice of prosciutto. Put the poached eggs on top of the ham. Spoon over the Hollandaise, sprinkle with salt and pepper. Serve all together and enjoy.

Souffle au Grand Marnier Serves 4

IN GR E D IE N T S • • • • • • • • •

9 ounces half and half 3 ounces cubed sugar 2 oranges 3/4 ounce flour 3/4 ounce butter 3 egg yolks 1.5-2 ounces Grand Mariner 4 egg whites 1 tablespoon powdered sugar

DIRECTIONS Set aside 3 tablespoons of the half and half. Put the remainder into a saucepan, and bring to the boil. Meanwhile, wipe the oranges and then rub the sugar cubes over the rind to remove the zest. Add the sugar to the half and half, cover the pan, and leave on one side to infuse for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar. Mix the cold half and half with the flour and add to the milk by degrees. Stir over gentle heat until boiling and allow to boil for 5 seconds only. Remove from the heat, cover the surface of the sauce with the butter cut into small pieces, put the lid on the pan, and leave for 10-15 minutes.

Set the oven at 380F and prepare a size 1 soufflé case by buttering the inside and dusting with icing sugar. Tie a band of buttered parchment paper around the dish to stand 1 1/2 inches above the top. Mix the butter into the sauce and beat in the egg yolks, one at a time, and the Grand Mariner. Whisk the egg whites until stiff, but not dry, adding 1 tablespoon to the mixture.

Stir in to soften. Add the remainder and cut and fold with a spatula. Make a few cuts around the sides, then place in the oven. Bake about 18-20 minutes.

Carefully open the oven door, pull the oven shelf forward and dust the top of the soufflé with the powdered sugar.

Replace and continue cooking a few minutes to color the top. Remove the paper and serve at once.

Canyon Cabinetry & Design TRY SOMETHING NEW THIS SPRING

ARTICLE BY ANNA MAYNARD PHOTOGRAPHY COURTESY CANYON CABINETRY & DESIGN

At Canyon Cabinetry & Design, the “Joanna Gaines effect” is dominating the world of home remodeling.

Stephanie Cano, one of the company’s designers, said that HGTV serves as a huge influence on the newest trends in renovation, especially following the COVID-19 pandemic. According to her, client’s attitudes about their homes have led to a shift towards minimalist design aesthetics and decluttering wherever possible.

“It’s a combination between a mid-century modern and a rustic mid-century modern,” Cano said.

This look, which she dubbed “boho industrial,” has skyrocketed in popularity as people are looking to make their space brighter and more functional.

Clean lines and fresh surfaces!

Open flow through work spaces make the kitchen work.

Minimalist details like white countertops and blonde wood finishes are offset with an unexpected statement tone: black.

With an overall shift toward a lighter, neutral-toned palette inspired by our desert landscape, black has become a bold accent color in the form of cabinet hardware and other household fixtures. Combined with a resurgence in organic shapes and textures in wood, these two trends allow the space to feel less austere and can soften some of the bright white details.

“That pickup of color is actually making the white look a lot more stunning,” Cano said.

According to Cano, if you’re looking for more of a rustic feel in your kitchen, sage green cabinetry is the way to go. This color can be seamlessly integrated into the trendy neutral tones and can help bring a little bit of the outdoors inside.

These modern color schemes are further advanced with cabinet hardware, and Cano says that gold and matte black are replacing the standard silver finishes. Small details like those can help add industrial elements to a light and airy space.

“It’s like jewelry to the kitchen,” Cano said.

The biggest trend, Cano said, is people becoming more conscious of their spaces and designing with their lifestyle in mind, rather than aesthetic. In particular, her clients have been looking for a clean and uninterrupted environment to promote greater mental focus at home.

Her favorite way to achieve this balance is with “appliance garages,” built-in countertop cabinets that hinge upward and allow appliances to be tucked out of sight. These cabinets are the perfect way to declutter a countertop and achieve the CONTINUED >

minimalist look that’s so sought after. Overall creativity in organization is on the rise and she doesn’t see that trend slowing down anytime soon.

With all of these new design aesthetics in mind, Cano said that the most rewarding part of her job is working with clients to personalize their space around their needs and lifestyles.

This family-owned business works tirelessly to ensure that their clients’ needs are met and she thinks that this personal touch helps people feel more understood.

“Our little company does really well because of the personalization of us,” Cano said, “When you love what you do it kind of shines through in business.”

The key to good redesign: understanding how a family lives.

The high desert around Sonoita brings lush delights

The Wineries of Southern Arizona You may not know your Gewürztraminer from your Liebfraumilch, or your Bordeaux from your Shiraz, but that’s not important.

Experience one of life’s greatest pleasures, sampling and tasting the endless varietals and blends of wines available. Time to let your palate wander!

Here in Arizona, we’re bless with weather and terrain that supports the growth of many types of grapes. Our key Southern Arizona wine regions of Willcox and Sonoita/ Elgin alone supply close to three-quarters of all the wine produced in the state, with

emphasis on Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, and Merlot varietals.

In fact, this past year, The San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition (SFCWC), one of the world’s most highly publicized and well-respected wine contests, presented awards of excellence to several of our fine local wineries, raising our region to worldclass status. It’s that kind of visibility that created the long-established iconic wine regions in neighboring California and we’re well on our way to joining their prestigious ranks!

NOW’S THE TIME TO VISIT

So where to start? That’s a question I hear often from friends and visitors on how best to tackle a visit to the region’s abundance of established wineries. Can we do it in a day? Is there a cost? How many wineries can we expect to visit with limited time? It’s overwhelming!

So, here’s my suggestion. Sign up now for the Arizona Wine Trail Passport, sponsored by the Arizona Office of Tourism. It’s a portal to over 120 wineries in the state, with an updated, fully interactive map included. Use the site to check in at each winery for discounts, specials and VIP treatment. Once you visit a winery in all three of our close-by Southern Arizona regions, you’ll be automatically entered to win an Arizona wine themed gift tote that includes: an Arizona t-shirt, logo wine stopper, Arizona logo wine glasses (set of 4) and seasonal local products from Arizona producers. Great wines and valuable swag to boot. Cheers to that!

Then you might want to consider taking one of the myriad of group and individual guided wine tours available from the Greater Tucson area. There are many to choose from, but one of the best, consistently recommended for their service and value, is Arizona Winery Tours. Owner Karen Hinderberger has put together some of the most informed and personable guides in the industry. Read up on some of their reviews on Yelp and TripAdvisor and you’ll see for yourself.

Want to check out some of the area’s finest wines without leaving town? Check out the Off the Wine Arizona Wine Festival, held in annually in February, hosted by the Arizona Wine Growers

Association (AWGA) at the historic Steam Pump Ranch in Oro Valley. Over 30 Arizona wineries participate, as well as a variety of local eateries, mixed-media artists and live music.

And if you are one of those who just likes to hop in the car with no agenda other than to see and do whatever comes your way, consider making a day trip to the Sonoita and Elgin wine region on your own. You can get down there in less than an hour, climbing up to a 5,000-foot elevation through grassland and ranching areas that have been in production for thousands of years. Here you’ll find the days may still be warm in spring and summer, but running a good 10 degrees cooler than Tucson, with delightfully pleasant evenings. Sonoita boasts a full-time population of under 1,000, while Elgin comes in at less than 200 residents.

The area offers shops, restaurants, B&Bs, and natural wonders like the Patagonia Mountains, so you’ll have plenty to do between visits to the 16 local tasting rooms.

Sonoita Vineyards, the oldest winery in Arizona, was founded by a University of Arizona soil scientist in the 1970s after an extensive visit to France’s Burgundy Region. Their large, modern tasting room and retail shop are open every day from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. every day, except for Tuesdays and major holidays. Getting to Willcox will take you about 80 minutes. With a population of over 3,000, Willcox is the big city of our Southern Arizona wine country, with many food and hospitality options.

Now you know how to get started, make it a point to plan a visit soon to our verdant and charming Southern Arizona wine country.

The San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition (SFCWC), one of the world’s most highly publicized and well-respected wine contests, presented awards of excellence to several of our fine local wineries.

Go get some.

AFFINITY KITCHENS BR ING YOUR DREA M K ITCHE N TO L IFE

ARTICLE BY ANNA MAYNARD

T R E N D SE T T E R | HOM E + DE S I GN

Affinity Kitchens is bringing the outdoors inside with the hottest new trends in kitchen design. Designers Tamara Newell and Mia Silverman gave us the inside scoop on how to revamp not just your indoor kitchen, but your outdoor one as well.

Newell said that her clients are looking to create a more open feeling throughout the home, especially through integrating indoor and outdoor kitchens and living spaces. The most exciting item that people are using to achieve this is the addition of an outdoor pizza oven in monochromatic colors that match the existing landscape.

“If you’re going to do something outdoors, you have to have a pizza oven,” the designers said.

In addition to the pizza oven’s newfound popularity, the designers have seen more desire for shaded spaces and outdoor cabinetry that blends into the environment. Silverman said that metal cabinets, which were previously left with a stainless steel finish, are now being powder-coated with neutral colors so they don’t distract from the space itself.

According to her, this powder coating makes these cabinets virtually indestructible.

Organic touches such as natural wood finishes, pops of color using cactus green, and large windows to let in sunlight are soaring in popularity. These natural tones, Silverman said, are helping people create a more lovely space to live in. Silverman especially enjoys the current green cabinet trend as a way to add color and connect to natural elements.

“It’s almost like you can pull that color right out of your plants outside,” she said.

Following the COVID-19 pandemic, Newell said that people are looking to make their space not just more functional, but more personal to them. She prides the company on its ability to design in a way that matches their clients’ personalities, lifestyles and needs. A greater focus is being placed on relaxing and enjoyment, making kitchen organization key for de-stressing.

When she’s designing for a client, Newell said that she likes to include a lot of drawers with different organizational features like spice inserts and drawer liners. Add-ons like sound absorption on cabinets and drawers have also risen in popularity as a result of people working from home since

SHE PRI DES THE COMPAN Y ON ITS AB IL I T Y TO DE S I G N I N A WAY THAT MATCHE S THE IR CL IE N TS’ P E R S O N A LI T I E S , LI F E STYLES A N D N E E D S. A G RE ATE R FOCUS IS B E I N G PLAC E D O N RELA X IN G A N D E N JOY ME N T, MAK IN G K ITC H E N O R GA N I Z AT I O N K EY FOR DE-ST RE SSIN G .

the pandemic. Her goal is to create a space that works best for them and gives them exactly what they need.

“We live in a really busy society, so we want things that are really easy at our fingertips,” Newell said.

The overall trend toward fresh and bright spaces continues to rise as the pandemic lifts, and the integration of indoor and outdoor spaces allows clients to maximize their space with nature in mind. This look can be easily achieved by selecting richer, more expressive design elements that complement the neutral color palette dominating the home remodeling space.

Affinity Kitchens is looking to make the most out of the indoor/outdoor kitchen trend, and takes careful note of their clients’ habits to help them create a home that truly feels like home.

“At Affinity Kitchens, we enrich home life,” Newell said.

Arizona Opera

R aises Cu r t ain on 2023 -2024 Se a son Stacked schedule include a world premier of Frankenstein

Arizona Opera has rolled out a fantastic season for 2023/24 – including a world premiere – in Phoenix and Tucson, as well as the company’s inaugural New Works Festival in Phoenix, and a new series of community concerts in Tucson.

(Editor’s note: Yes, some of these performances are ways out on the calendar. But get your tickets now before they are all gone!)

“We are eager to continue connecting communities across Arizona through the power and beauty of opera, celebrating great operas from the classic repertoire while also investing in the future of the artform through new works,” said Joseph Specter, Arizona Opera’s president and general director.

Here’s the seasonal playbill for us all:

The McDougall RED series.

Frankenstein (World Premiere).

WHEN: October 21-22, 2023 WHERE: The Temple of Music and Art. With a riveting, cinematic score and libretto by Gregg Kallor, the living, feeling Creature is brought to life only to be forsaken by its creator, Victor Frankenstein.

Embracing Shelley’s original text, regarded by many as the first science fiction novel, Frankenstein gives a poignant voice to the Creature’s struggle and lays bare the horror of alienation and “otherness” with exquisite nuance. Gregg Kallor, Composer and Librettist. Adapted from the novel by Mary Shelley.

The Main Street Series

Powerhouse opera classics are not to be missed, including Gioachino Rossini’s comic masterpiece, The Barber of Seville; Charles Gounod’s Roméo & Juliette featuring the famed star-crossed lovers; and Mozart’s dark comedy, Don Giovanni.

The Barber of Seville WHEN: February 3-4, 2024 WHERE: The Linda Ronstadt Music Hall.

Love, mistaken identity, and humor are woven throughout The Barber of Seville, Rossini’s beloved masterpiece. The Barber of Seville is considered one of the greatest comic operas of all time, maintaining its popularity for over two hundred years for good reason.

Roméo & Juliette WHEN: March 9-10, 2024 WHERE: The Linda Ronstadt Music Hall Gounod’s romantic and rapturous music sets the stage for this tale of star-crossed lovers, based on Shakespeare’s timeless play about the power of love, set amidst the feuding of the Montague and Capulet families in Verona. Composer: Charles Gounod | Libretto by Jules Barbier & Michel Carré.

Don Giovanni WHEN: April 27-28, 2024 WHERE: The Linda Ronstadt Music Hall Mozart’s Don Giovanni, regarded by many as one of the greatest operas of all time, tells the centuries-old story of the libertine Don Juan. Don Giovanni makes his rounds seducing and duping numerous characters, bragging along the way and escaping accountability by obscuring his identity.

New Works Festival

Leaning into Arizona Opera’s passion for bringing new, exciting, and socially relevant operas to our patrons, the 2023/24 Season will mark the debut of the company’s New Works Festival, taking place from November 3-5, 2023, at the Arizona Opera Center in Phoenix.

This immersive experience will highlight three contemporary operas over the course of three days. Attendees of the New Works Festival will have an opportunity to preview these poignant works in a fun and festive atmosphere featuring food trucks, beverages, and engaging activities to round out the weekend. Selections for Arizona Opera’s inaugural New Works Festival will be announced in May.

Tucson Desert Song Festival - 2024

Arizona Opera has collaborated with the Festival to bring some of today’s greatest artists to perform in Arizona Opera’s birth city. In addition to the TDSF’s annual sponsorship of an Arizona Opera production in The Linda Ronstadt Music Hall, this partnership has brought nearly two dozen recitals over the years, of illustrious artists like Susan Graham, Matthew Polenzani, Lisette Oropesa, and this spring’s superstar guest artist, soprano Angel Blue. The 2023/24 Season continues this rich tradition with memorable and notable guest artists sharing their gifts with our Tucson audiences, with the 2024 recitalist to be announced later this spring.

Tucson Parks Concerts

In addition to this annual recital series in partnership with TDSF, Arizona Opera announced a new series of outdoor concerts designed to reach Tucsonans where they are, in their communities.

These outdoor performances will bring the arts to those who may not otherwise be able to access them within a traditional theatre setting. The full lineup of dates, locations, and artists will be revealed later this year.

Keep Calm And File Your Taxes ARTICLE BY FELISHA LEFFLER, PIPER ACCOUNTING

A FEW QUICK THOUGHTS AND REMINDERS AS WE HEAD INTO TAX SEASON! WOOT! This year, Tax Day falls on April 18th. For many people, the process of filing their taxes can be complex and time-consuming. However, there are a number of resources available to help make the process easier. Let's take a closer look at what tax season and Tax Day entail and explore some tips to help make the process smoother.

HERE ARE A FEW TIPS TO HELP MAKE TAX SEASON EASIER: 1. Get organized. Start by gathering all of the documents you will need to file your taxes, including W-2s,1099s and receipts for deductions. Make sure everything is in one place so you don't have to search for it later.

2. If your taxes are particularly complex or if you're unsure about how to file your taxes, consider working with a tax professional. They can provide personalized advice and help ensure that your taxes are filed correctly. Tax professionals are trained and experienced in tax law and regulations and will help you avoid errors and ensure your return is accurate, complete and submitted on time. They can help you navigate complex tax codes, answer your questions, and make certain that you have taken advantage of all possible deductions available to you.

3. Don't wait until the last minute. Filing your taxes at the last minute can be stressful and may increase the likelihood of errors. Start early so you have plenty of time to gather your documents and file your taxes.

4. Double-check your work. Before you submit your tax return, double-check your work to make sure you've reported all of your income and deductions correctly.

Mistakes can result in penalties or delays in receiving your refund.

Tax season and Tax Day can be stressful, but with some preparation and organization, it doesn't have to be overwhelming.

Sleep Inside, Outside 5 Incredible places to (literally) sleep under the stars

Photography by Amangiri, USA

O UT D OOR A DV E N T U R E | TRAVE L

It’s always magical to spend a night sleeping under the stars. In decades past, adventure seekers have packed the SUV or camper with tents and gear for ‘roughin’ it’ in the great outdoors. But the swanky and exploding category of luxury outdoor hotel is something to investigate for an unforgettable, next-level experience.

For those who prefer glamping rather than pitching their own tent fireside, here are a few options that incorporate sweeping views and a unique

opportunity for travelers to be more authentically embedded in the landscape of the place they’re visiting. These resorts have bucket list-worthy rooms that capture the best of both the luxury resort experience and the outdoors.

Whether you crave the dry heat of the remote Utah desert or the luminous beauty of the Northern Lights, we’ve curated a short list of some places you *must* check out.

Photography by Amangiri, USA

Amangiri, Utah In southern Utah, Amangiri is a five star resort perfect for an adventurous weekend in the desert. However, it is the simple rooms built to emphasize the beauty of Canyon Point that truly make it an incredible place to stay.

Each suite has an outdoor lounge and fireplace with private pools or rooftop terraces available too. Don’t miss a dip in the ‘gram-worthy pool, which wraps around the landscape’s curved dunes and arid plateaus.

Photography by Starlight Room

Starlight Room, Italy You won’t find a more memorable way to “sleep indoors, outdoors” than The Starlight Room in Italy. It sits 7,000 feet up in the Italian Dolomites. The small, glass-walled cabin rests atop skis which allow it to be positioned perfectly for guests’ stargazing pleasure as they are immersed in breathtaking nature. Its remote locale means the only ways to reach the summit are snowmobiling, fat biking or snowshoeing.

Photography by Pacuare Lodge

Pacuare Lodge, Costa Rica This jungle hideaway is so out there, you have to whitewater raft down a river or ride a gondola to get there. A network of hanging bridges connect the villas, which have thatched roofs, plantation teak wood floors, rattan furniture and private plunge pools. In the evening, zip 400 feet down a cable for a meal at the Nest, a platform at the top of a ceiba tree, then take a night-time stroll along romantic pathways lit by candles and lanterns.
