The Food Random Post

I didn't make mention before, but see that picture??? My sister made sourdough balls that looked like pumpkins for Thanksgiving. Very cool.

When we first went to the buffet at Circus Circus it was Thanksgiving. They had, in addition to other things, traditional Thanksgiving fare, turkey, ham, stuffing. The next night they had some quite plausible tamales. I wonder if that's because it was into the Christmas season???

By the way, check out the first picture on the Thanksgiving post. That is a pile of apple pie on the boy's plate.

See this??? They have Elvis banana cream Reese's peanut butter cups. I haven't tried it yet, I shall update in the comments.

The weekend after this one will be quite eventful. The company Christmas party (no one calls it by its given name, the "Holiday" party) is on Saturday. The entree choices were filet mignon, grilled mahi mahi, chicken breast, or some damn vegetable thing. I don't think anyone is opting for the last one. I chose the mahi mahi.

My boys' school is doing their Christmas program on Friday night. Dinner will be served at that, too. Hope there are tamales!!!

And, following that weekend, Tuesday is Goodie Day!!!

There shall be cheese for all!!!

Mahi mahi... The fish so nice they named it twice!!!

I'm considering taking a vacation trip to Gilroy for the Garlic Festival this coming year. There is nary a food that isn't improved by adding garlic.

I'm considering trying my hand at making trifle for goodie day...

I was considering going into the cafeteria at my work and asking for a plate with a couple of slices of each kind of cheese the other day. Cheese is the perfect food!!!

See this??? My oldest boy was putting frosting on his (non-banana creme) Reese's cup!!!

I was in the store a few weeks back, and was looking to get some more microwave kettle corn popcorn, when I spotted Orville Redenbacher's latest creation, garlic popcorn. I actually said aloud, "Orville Redenbacher, you magnificent bastard!!!" I had to buy a box, and popcorn is in that category of foods improved by garlic.

That cheese picture was originally titled "Table with cheese for web". It sure is!!!

Giving Thanks

Apparently most everyone in the family is planning on doing something else for the four day weekend, so my sister organized the Thanksgiving feast for Saturday. The food was great, and it's always fun seeing the extended family.



There's Eyeball and his girl. In case you were waiting for an update on that scene, May 18. 2008. Mark it down!!!



Have you heard the saying "If you don't have what you want, be thankful for some of the things you don't have"??? One of my sister's friends (and a distant friend of mine, we were actually in a class together in high school) was there, but without her husband or kids. One of the other guests (there were 40 people invited) was asking if we were husband and wife, and she replied, "No, but he's got a hairdo just like my husband's". I had no idea, but she filled me in. He was diagnosed with cancer, just after the last time we saw them. That was at my niece's graduation party. A very short time, but he's had chemotherapy, and the prognosis is good.



Then, there's my sister's boyfriend's daughter. This is the first time I've actually seen her, but I heard of her before. I don't remember what her affliction is, but she has poor motor control skills, and can hardly speak. However, she seemed to have such a cheerful disposition!!!



And look at this kitten!!! Doesn't it have pretty markings??? I don't think it's eyes are really two different colors in real life, just the way the flash caught them.
