It's the Friday before Thanksgiving! I feel like the fun is starting now. And it is for me because my son is here and will be here through Thanksgiving weekend. We've made our menu, invited our guests and started some of the (food) shopping. This past week has been fun as well, with some of these activities:
1. HUGE watermelon and mystery mug. We got this huge watermelon for $3.00. It was so sweet! The last of the season. Ant this mug with the letter B arrived in the mail- I have no idea who might have sent it to me! Kind of fun
2. Quinoa. We've been trying different quinoa recipes and this week we tried Apple-Almond Quinoa. Very delicious!
3. Going out to eat. We did not eat here, but we saw this place with a funny name on the way to eat at Izzy's Steak house-I'd been craving a steak and I found a Groupon for this place. The food was good and in a different part of town than we usually go to. It was a fun night out. After eating a huge steak dinner Bob went and passed out food to the homeless on the streets of San Francisco. I think his full belly made him feel kind of guilty as he ministered to all the cold people on the street.
4. Nashville. I can't get enough of this show. I'm not usually a country music fan, but the combination of music, believable characters and just the right amount of intrigue keeps me watching every week! (although I have to watch on my iPad after the fact because I usually work Wednesday nights)
5. Books. I went crazy this week and ordered about 10 books from the library. Some of them have long waits so hopefully they won't all be available at once. Now all I need is the time to read all of those interesting books!
6. Walks in the sunshine. We live in the sunny part of San Francisco and have enjoyed walking out in the neighborhood on our mild autumn days this week.
And of course, my cats. . .

I say the same about my cats who will flock to roomie's lap rather than mine :-( But they sometimes come to me :-) Fun to try new restaurants in your area -- there must be zillions of them!
there's a sunny part of San Francisco?? (we were there for a week at thanksgiving time in 1997 when my oldest was 4 and I LOVED the city but NOT the weather. It was sooo gloomy and drizzly although the day we went to the Muir woods (i can't remember the full name of the park where we hiked) it was sunny and mild so we also stopped at the Golden Gate Bridge where there were touristy things going on. I enjoyed my visit just not the weather! And yeah...i remember seeing lots of homeless people compared to where we live near Albany, NY. That is great that your hubby helped out! Yay for steak dinner coupons!
this sounds like just my kind of week! Wonderful.
Oh hurray that your boy is home for Thanksgiving!
I had to laugh when I read 'after eating the steak, Bob passed out...' I needed to finish the sentence that stated food to the homeless people. :)
Yum, I am now craving a steak! I've never had quinoa but that recipe looks delicious! I'll have to give it a try. That watermelon is huge! And the mug so fancy. A secret santa?
