Thanksgiving is Coming!

We're excited because Thanksgiving is just around the corner. What's not too love about a holiday that is centered around having a good meal with family and friends. It's our favorite holiday! This year we made three new dishes in addition to our usual favorites:

Cream of Asparagus Soup, from cousin Raquelita
Saffron Carrots, NY Times recipe
Artichoke Stuffing, Sunset magazine
and Creamed Brussel Sprouts, Better Homes and Garden magazine

Update:
So we made our new additions and as it turned out, the Cream of Asparagus soup was okay. We added hot sauce and that gave it a much needed kick. However, the Saffron Carrots were not all that great. Turns out the saffron did not provide that much flavor so we were left with a ton of leftovers. The Artichoke stuffing was really good and we are willing to make it again. It just might turn out to be the best stuffing yet. The Creamed Brussel Sprouts were also good even though we left out the cream. But we must admit we're addicted to Brussel sprouts, even cold they are delicious.

Cool Art

The San Francisco International Airport has some really cool art. I love this triptych which hangs in the International Terminal. Slugo and I were there last month when we went to DC. Yes, I know DC is not an international destination although sometimes I wish it did belong to another country. We flew Virgin America which uses that terminal.

It's so nice to go away. We are going on another trip in December. This time to New York City to celebrate our anniversary. I am very excited. I've always wanted to go there during the Christmas season. I can't wait to see the decorated store windows, the tree in Rockefeller Center and hopefully we'll see the Holiday show at Radio City Music Hall.

Shout Out to Ms O and Gret!

Happy Birthday to my sis and her bff, Gret! We had a great time last night at the B-52's concert. Our tailgate picnic was delish and it was nice to catch up with everyone. The concert was a good opportunity for people watching. There were lots of people dressed in B-52 inspired fashions. Unfortunately, we didn't see any beehive hairdos.

Obama landslide Victory

This was the quickest election ever. It was over before 9pm Pacific.
Can you believe it?
I just kept having this song over and over in my head.
Oh Happy Day! I am not really sure if it was appropriate but for me it fits.

So if you are still in the mood for more Obama then you should head over to indecision2008.com and check out all Colbert and Daly have to offer.
