Monday Eats
Not very exciting, and unfortunately no picture - just the end of the the mexican slow cooker pork carnitas and cilantro lime rice that I had in the fridge. Actually, it's probably better that there is no photographic evidence of my meal.
However, I do have a picture to share: check out the bling on my little love, Bennie. My big love ChooChoo also is sporting the same look. Sharp, no? :-) Oh, and M&D went to a sandcastle contest over the weekend - here a couple of pics from it. It was really cool - very talented artists!

Thanksgiving and thereabouts
Thanksgiving is over and I feel like it's now time to start bracing myself for Christmas commercial madness and inevitably 2013. But let me recap the weekend.
Enjoyed a massive plate of indian food leftovers on wednesday (warm up for thurs) and had a nice thanksgiving dinner with Tara and her friends in LA. For the occasion, Russ made mashed turnips (they were creamy and delicious) and i made a watercress, radiccio, and fennel salad along with two salad dressings. My first time making salad dressing - very easy and fast - might start doing more of them. Friday and Saturday nights russ and i camped at Joshua Tree national park and we enjoyed cheesey ground turkey burritos with roasted veggies and trader joes bourbon both nights. Under an amaaazing night sky full of megawatt stars. Guys we have to go camping sometime... Its fun! I taught russ how to play spit, it was pretty funny.
As a welcome back to civilization treat, we had pizza hut for dinner on sunday night. My first pizza in months! It was like fireworks in my belly.
Not a whole lot of dinner pics. Got one of the turnips. And here are a couple of joshua tree ones. Orientation might be funky.

"Real" Thanksgiving
A. I'm typing this with a real keyboard using Pearl's new bluetooth keyboard folio! I LOVE THIS THING!
B. While I'm writing this *way* before dinnertime, I'm pretty sure that our Thanksgiving lunch will be the notable meal of the day. I did a repeat of the turkey I made for Friendsgiving, but THE DANG BIRD FELL APART! It literally fell off the bone, which I guess is a good thing? The gravy I made was AMAZING - I'm now convinced that I will always use wine with my turkey. It's my secret ingredient. Don't tell anyone. We also had sweet potato, Daddy's green bean casserole, and stuffing as well. No mashed pots or mac and cheese this year! Surprisingly, I didn't really miss those. But, if you guys were here, I'm sure we would've had it (or I would've at least noticed that it wasn't on the menu.)
C. We made an executive decision to nix the turkey for Xmas this year. Instead, we may have beef tenderloin or a lamb dish. Thoughts?
Ok, time to take a disco turkey nap before going to see Lincoln. I hope M&D don't start snoring/falling out of their chairs during the movie.
