The holidays have landed

Spent dinner wondering if this was some sort of Cocoon situation.

Wearing the thing I made out in the world for the first time:

Exploring Zekreet

Zekreet Fort ruins

Zekreet Beach

East-West/West-East by Richard Serra

An Oryx – the National animal

Film City – an old film set turned tourist attraction

The view from the top of Film City

Mmmmm … polishing off leftovers:

Happy Thanksgiving!

This year’s spread:

Dips & crudetite

Choose-your-own vibe cocktails

Bourbon ham

Stuffing

Paleo stuffing

Dairy-free green bean casserole

Mashed potatoes

Mashed sweet potato/pumpkin

Honey Mustard Brussels sprouts

Gravy

Cranberry dressing

Salted caramel apple cake

Pumpkin pie

Assorted breads as close to King’s Hawaiian as we could find

And treasured friends from all over the world!

I finished a thing!

It’s not perfect, but not too shabby for a first stab at an Edwardian walking skirt.
