Happy Be-lated Thanksgiving Everyone...

Well - it has been a while since my last post to the Blog - We have been soooooo busy...

Bryan and I were in Scottsdale in November for Fashion week - Gordon and I had two of our Denim jackets in an exhibition at Joan Cawley. We stayed at Zen Yard - and had lots of fun. Megan joined us for some poolside wine and cheese - and later we watched some fire spinning - and night out at Amsterdam.... Wow!

This year for Thanksgiving Bryan and I visited his family in Sacramento for the big feast - but prior we spent a couple days in Calistoga/St. Helena/Napa - we stayed at Meadowlark in Calistoga - Wow what a place - tree covered property with many rooms and bungalows to choose from. The pool and jacuzzi were exactly what we needed. Thanks to Kurt and Richard we dined at Cindy's and met some nice people - I was especially thankful for the tranquil beauty (as Bryan actually relaxed) and I found so much subject matter for some non-figurative photos. SWEET!!!!!

We then spent a couple of days in the Sacramento area - which included Thanksgiving dinner with the Gill Family - Bryan jumped right in and helped his mom and dad prepare a scrumptious dinner - we escaped leaving the dishes to his siblings and went out on K Street - a plethora of clubs and restaurants to pick from - we had a BLAST! A couple of restaurants we visited with Bryan's parents - Luccas - Italian Cuisine in a casual atmosphere - known for the Governor of CA sightings.... food and service was good - BUT I think the restaurant could use an update. Another place was Bistro 33 - Excellent service, food, and atmosphere - I had the Kobe Beef Steak - YUMM and Bry the Crab Risoto - he loved it - and the desserts were super fine.

Finally we escaped for a day in San Francisco - which included a visit to the Transamerica Building, Telegraph Hill, Fishermans Wharf, The Ferry Building (a contemporary farmers market), and of course glorious food. Who could resist the scrumptious Boudin Sourdough - MMMMMM was it delectable. Ghirardelli Square was beautiful - the view even better and Victorian Park was SWEET as chocolate. We walked and walked and loved and loved our time there. Many photos and lots of food we dined at the Eagle Cafe at Pier 39 - nice casual surrounds, friendly - efficient staff and the food excellent - Bry had the Crab Melt and loved it and I Alaskan Cod - YUMM!

I'll be posting Photos from the trip on the blog... and a recipe soon.
