Made and carved a turkey for Thanksgiving dinner....
....along with fresh cranberry sauce, yams & toasted marshmallows, roasted garlic mashed potatoes, and maple bacon biscuits. My sister made corn muffins and we also had ham and assorted veggies :) I use Alton Brown's recipe for roasted turkey every year and it always comes out juicy and flavorful
Went to grab some sushi with an old friend...my new love is salmon hand rolls!!
Some more yummy rolls
Was given the most deliciously CRUNCHY macaroon ever, along with a creamy dreamy egg tart
Watched "New Moon" with my sister
Made more maple bacon biscuits with my little cousin <3 onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjX2PdDOUdfiwttp20l0kT04bE4w_BUIomI1mmiAUU4r6VfcW42DBg-yBFSny4RmBwhhofnQkiM-dFwuX76_ki_3I31JlOYEQWxZn9B0B1JcguIL_TH4DEU1XFVNnGPFyGCw_kC7c_wurc/s1600-h/Picture+492.jpg">
So flaky and yummy! I got this recipe from this blog and have been making it nonstop. After I made it the first time for my roommates, they have been requesting over and over that I make it again. I made a batch for a Thanksgiving potluck, and one for the boy's family, and they've been a hit with all. This is worth a try!
How can anyone resist??? Slightly sweet and savory...and buttery and with BACON...yummm...they're best served fresh from the oven but my roomies microwaved leftovers and still devoured them
Helped my mom put up a live Christmas tree...I had to go back to school before she put up decorations, but the next time I'm home for the holidays I'll take a picture of the finished tree. I love live trees because they make the house smell so fresh and comforting...
On the drive back to LA, I encountered many things welcoming the holidays. There was the annual Starbucks red cup (love their seasonal drinks...Gingerbread Latte and Peppermint Mocha are always must-haves for me this time of year)
A customary stop at In-N-Out for a burger and fries...
....with a holiday wrapper :)
Stopped by Century City Mall to pick up some Godiva chocolates and saw a cool Christmas tree made from potted poinsettias
Mall decked out in gorgeous lights at night~
