Barbara Hill<br />
When our sons and grandsons<br />
and their families come to visit from<br />
the Phoenix area we always spend<br />
time cooking the meals that are<br />
special to them,” says Barbara Hill <strong>of</strong><br />
Bisbee, Arizona. “We moved to this<br />
town 19 years ago—we love traveling<br />
and have been to literally every<br />
corner <strong>of</strong> the state. Over the years,<br />
Southwest cooking became more<br />
and more a favorite.<br />
“When our three sons were growing<br />
up and going to school they all played<br />
in the band. Our sons’ friends<br />
frequently shared meals with us and it<br />
was not unusual to have a group<br />
practicing their jazz band music in our<br />
living room be<strong>for</strong>e dinner.<br />
Barbara and Tommy Hill met as members <strong>of</strong> the<br />
band at Arizona State University and have shared<br />
their love <strong>of</strong> music and good food ever since.<br />
“We almost always had tacos with<br />
Shredded Beef (see recipe on page<br />
13) on Saturday night. Their friends<br />
knew this, so we frequently had<br />
company <strong>for</strong> dinner on Saturday.<br />
After one dinner one <strong>of</strong> the friends<br />
wondered, if Christmas came on<br />
Saturday would we have tacos?<br />
Christmas did come on Saturday, <strong>of</strong><br />
course, and so a tradition was<br />
begun.”<br />
This Mexican-style Salad is<br />
another <strong>of</strong> Barbara’s favorite<br />
Southwest recipes <strong>for</strong> sharing. “We<br />
do potlucks several times a year at<br />
our church here in Bisbee and also<br />
<strong>for</strong> the Bisbee Community Chorus.”<br />
