This morning
we talked to Billy and Elaine in Dallas and they confirmed that the Thanksgiving
meal would be on November 22nd
So we booked
a trip to Dallas and Sayulita. We found a
place on the beach at Casa Miel for about $150.00 per night with a bedroom and
a sitting room and a kitchen. We decided
on Casa Miel because it is on the beach but not in the middle of town like Aurinko,
which has become very noisy at night due to the nightclubs on the square next
to it.
We then went
to the Farmers’ Market where we bought a French Baguette, an almond croissant
from the Le Quiche French Bakery, Goat milk feta from Old Windmill Farms, some
red onions from Mascia’s farm and a pumpkin for Halloween and then drove to
Alpine Sausage Kitchen and bought gelbwurst (veal bologna), and veal stew meat
and leverwurst. We then showed the Candy
Store to a group interested in opening a restaurant.
I then
watched one of the greatest football games in a long time. TCU scored 82 points on Texas Tech. It was the highest scoring game in TCU
history and the highest number of offensive yards gained in any game in TCU’s school
history at over 850 yards of offense. I
could not believe it.
We had
decided to go to Marble Brewery’s Harvest fest, so at 6:30 we made sandwiches
on the French baguette with salami, leverwurst, and gelbwurst and packed a bag
of the pickles Suzette had made with cucumbers from our garden and slices of manchego cheese. When we arrived at Marble Brewery it was full
but we found a place pretty easily at one of the long tables and bought glasses
of beer and began eating our dinner. Suzette drank Amber Ale and I drank a wildflower
wheat beer. The something Stout band played a mix of folk rock that we enjoyed.
Finally, at
around 9:00 we went home and soaked in the hot tube for a while and then went
to bed.
I slept 8 1/2 hours for the first time.
Bon Appétit
