Happy Thanksgiving

I'm thankful for health, home, family and friends, and Lulu  :)

A birthday dinner

Lizzie signed up for a birthday offer from Black Angus, which was a "free" steak dinner with the purchase of another entree of the same or higher price. All good.

So on Thursday, still her birthday week, we went to Black Angus.  We found out that the free dinner was for up to $20, but we wanted rib steaks and they were$32 each, so we decided to have the Campfire Feast dinner for two, and they would deduct the $20 from the total price.

Here's what we had:

Sweet molasses bread, and cheesy bread (a winner!)
Lizzie had the ribeye steak with fries and macaroni and cheese
I had the ribeye steak with loaded baked potato and grilled asparagus
For dessert we had NY cheesecake with strawberry sauce.
I had a white sangria that didn't taste like sangria but was very good anyway.

The meal was excellent, one of the best rib steaks I had for a long time. Perfectly cooked and tender.
We were very full and satisfied.

For Thanksgiving, we decided we'll go to El Cholo, since neither one of us likes a traditional turkey dinner. I may make a pecan pie :)  Norbert came back from Las Vegas but he  was not feeling too great because he thinks he ate some romaine lettuce from Salinas, that had been in the news because some people got ecoli from eating them and there was a warning not to eat romaine.

I told him of our plans for Thanksgiving and asked him to join us, he said he would come because he didn't want to be by himself on Thanksgiving. Hopefully he'll feel better by then :)

Sandy and family got back from warm Mexico and back to snowy Utah! 

Disneyland!

We celebrated Lizzie's birthday by going to Disneyland :)

It was so much fun. Everything  looked so festive decorated for Christmas! Here are the rides I took:

Haunted Mansion Holiday (always a winner)
Star Wars: Smugglers Run  (super fun, I was the gunner)
King Arthur Carrousel  (all horses Merry-go-Round)
Star Tours  (it shook me up)
We also went thru Mickey's House @ Toontown
Disneyland Railroad  (nice way to  go around the park)
@ California Adventure: Soaring over the World (Lovely!!!)

We saw the lights turning at It's a Small World and Sleeping Beauty Castle. Spectacular!

I had pictures taken with Pluto and Goofy :)

We saw the end of Disney characters parade at California Adventure. It was so fun because they all came by us and smiled and threw kisses at us.

We ate pretzels, churros, and a delicious hot fudge sundae at Ghirardelli's

We walked and enjoyed all Disneyland and California Adventures. I walked 7.4 miles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We left after 8, and drove to Buena Park and had Happy Hour bites at the New Moon.

FUN DAY

Happy Birthday Lizzie!

Maybe next time

Maybe next time  the NABLO thingie comes around I will try again to write daily. I think I've done pretty good this month especially at the beginning.

But from now on I think I'll just write when I have something to say, and of course  my recaps.
Next week there's things coming up so I may have something fun to write about :)

Some times, I may write about things other than my day to day life.

L is going to SD tomorrow and S and family are in Mexico on vacation, N is going to LV. Lulu and I are staying home.

Nothing about nothing

Since L and I do basically the same things, is hard to write  about  day to day happenings.

I watched the Latin Grammys and Rosalia, a singer from Barcelona, won Best Album , best  pop vocal and best urban song. I really like her. 

So I was going to make a link for one of her songs and instead I ended up watching Jimmy Kimmel's "Celebrities reading mean tweets"  funny but now I need to sign off or I won't make the midnight cut off!

Love you!
