Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Today is the day we have been anticipating for weeks.  We are officially hosting our own grown up F-R-I-E-N-D-S--G-I-V-I-N-G!!!  We're having friends from far and near join us for dinner.  It is quite nerve racking since I've never cooked a turkey in my life not to mention a fancy one with bacon butter.  We have prepped as much as possible to prevent any possible mishaps (we already experienced 2!!).  Thank goodness our close friends Nitin and Carolina are making the journey early to help with the cooking.  Yay!!!


I can't wait to share this fabulous meal with our wonderful friends!!! 


HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE~~~

Mama is coming to town...

This past weekend, my hubby's mama decided to drive down and grace us with her presence.   We decided to take Hubby's Mama to  Prado Restaurant for lunch.  The Prado Restaurant is located in the heart of Balboa Park.  It has breath taking views and if you are lucky maybe you get to be a surprised guest to one of the many weddings on the lower terrace.  

After stuffing our faces full of Prado goodness, we decided to take a tour of the famous gardens of Balboa Park.  Here are some photos of our adventures in Balboa Park.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN

2.  Since we are too old to go trick-or-treating, we decided to get some treats for ourselves.

3.  Staying indoors and being lazy...

This Past Weekend...

This past Saturday, the hubby and I headed up to Escondido to get our sugar-fix at a place called Peterson's Donut Corner.  Peterson's is not your ordinary donut shop, this place is more like a walk-up baked goods dealer.  The shop's windows were filled to the brim with a gigantic assortment of baked goods.  Their bear claws were literally the size of softball mits.  So huge it makes sharing fun. 


Since this was our first time there, we were a bit overwhelmed by the selection of yummy goodness. Therefore, we ordered a little of everything: half dozen donuts holes, one cinnamon twist, apple roll, chocolate cake donuts, maple glazed donut, and some-cream-filled-yummy cone.  Their donuts were perfection in our mouths.  They were both fresh and fluffy only thing that could possible make these donuts better, would be if they were piping HOT.   


After devouring our goodies from Peterson's Donuts Corner., the hubby and I decided to go for a walk around the lake.

 HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!

Pumpkin Picking

This weekend, we drove out to a local pumpkin patch and picked pumpkins.  Being this was my first time at a  pumpkin patch, I did not know what to expect.  To my surprise this pumpkin patch was more then just pumpkins and hay.  It was surrounded by a mini carnival.  It had tons of games, rides, and even a petting zoo. We filled our little wheel barrow with our selections...now let the fun pumpkin carving and pumpkin recipes begin.
