November 27, 2021 Lunch - at IKEA. Dinner - Mu Shu Pork
We awakened at 7:00 and packed and drove to IKEA. We went in at 10:00 when it opened. Suzette went shopping and I went to the restaurant and read until Suzette returned from shopping with a basket full of items for Christmas gifts for her employees. We then both ate Swedish meatballs with mashed potatoes, broccoli, and lingon sylt.
We also shared a Ceaser salad and an almond torte by Diam and drank lingon juice with a touch of lemon.
It was a lot of food, but I only get to eat real Swedish food only once every year or two.
After lunch we went down stairs and we bought lots of food items. They did not have my favorite dessert but they did have my favorite orange and elderberry marmelade. Suzette bought six gingerbread house kits and 9 chocolate bars and I bought six chocolate bars and Diam orange filled chocolates.
We then took about 45 minutes to pack everything. We had to get an extra box and shopping bag plus we filled 1/2 of Suzette’s suitcase and a small duffle bag with items.
We drove to Love Field and returned the rental car and shuttled to the terminal. We got help taking the stuff to the ticket counter and checked four items to reduce our load to one carry on bag.
When we returned to Albuquerque we found a smart cart and were able to load all the suitcases and box and bag and duffle bag.
We called East Ocean and ordered an order of Mu Shu pork that we picked up on the way home.
We ate a couple of mandarin pancakes filled with Mu Shu pork each. It had more cabbage and less egg than I am familiar with, but we loved having a wonderful hot meal.
We watched football. There were two or three great games. The best game was Oklahoma State beating Oklahoma.
Suzette went to bed at 10:00 and I stayed up until midnight.
I drank several cups of green tea and later a chocolate chip cookie.
It was a great trip but we agreed it was great to be home.
Bon Appetit
