Busy week. I ran Nan and Pop ragged. We had a day of glass blowing:
We each made a different object. Pop made a green float, Nan made a heart, and I made a paper weight:
We also spent a day at the race track:
Tortilleria Reyes for lunch. Check out the size of my quesadilla:
We played lots of Monopoly:
On Thanksgiving, I hosted one of my famous bars. Here I am opening Pop’s wine:
Thanksgiving dinner was the traditional brisket, of course:
Along with a butternut squash, spinach, onion, and gruyere galette:
And a brussels sprout salad with apples, cranberries, and walnuts:
And, of course, a French apple tart:
Not my plate. I had much more brisket and much less squash.
On Black Friday, we went to the head of the Metolius:
Saturday was Christmas tree day. Sadly, no snow this year, but we found a good tree. I cut it down all by myself:
Pop helped me put the lights on, and I did all the decorating:
Pop made pizza for dinner. I had to jump in and show him how it is done:
Pepperoni:
Cauliflower, fennel, and pesto with pine nuts:
Caramelized onions with goat cheese:
Pop and I played a lot of tennis this week. On Sunday we took on the Bigs in a doubles match:
After tennis, we got fancied up to go to the Nutcracker at the Tower Theater:
