Happy Turkey Day! I had a nice relaxing, long weekend with some Montana friends. Me, Scott, Robert (one of Scott's best friends from Helena), Robert's girlfriend Liza (from Fargo), and Sara (another of Scott's friends from Helena) all cooked up a storm in my little apartment kitchen. Robert bought a 20lb turkey for the 5 of us! Needless to say, we ate a lot of food. We cooked the turkey using a really good Martha Stewart recipe and it turned out great. Thanks Martha! I made my usual favorite sides (mashed potatoes, stuffing, green bean casserole) and pumpkin pie. Sara brought the yummy homemade cranberry sauce and Scott made the gravy from scratch that was awesome. I love cooking and baking and it was sooooo nice to cook for some one other than myself.
After Thanksgiving dinner on Thursday, we used most of the weekend playing lots of fun games and watching movies. We also took a tour of the Winchester Mystery House (which is about 6 blocks away from my apartment) and then went window shopping at a ritzy place called Santana Row. It's a street full of expensive shops, hotels, and cafes. It's really pretty during Christmas time and they had put up all the pretty lights and there was a live band playing. We could only window shop because it's the type of place that has Bentleys and Lamborghinis (no joke) parked outside the hotels...even though they don't belong to anyone - they are from the dealerships and are parked there to attract the rich people and make it
look swank. Someday soon I'll be able to walk in one of those shops and pick out whatever I want without looking at a price tag. That'll be about the same time that Scott gets his Lamborghini. :) We also drove down to a horse ranch about an hour south of San Jose, where a friend of Robert's dad raises, breeds, and sells Morgan horses. Liza really loves horses are she grew up on a ranch and it was fun to pet horses again. It's been awhile...maybe next time we'll be able to ride.
