Thanksgiving Food-ish-ness
Thanksgiving week is over, and I had tons of fun with all the family that showed up here. It was also very nice to have Katy around for a lot of the stuff we did.
Le Pommier served a fantastic prix fixe Thanksgiving dinner, and Isabela was even better on Friday night. We had four days of excellent dining, drinking, discourse, and Dorian. Now, Dorian the World Traveler is in Houston, breaking things at my parents' house and awaiting my mid-December arrival.
Katy and I went to the Strip District yesterday to do a bit of grocery shopping. One of the more remarkable things we purchased was a 9.29 lb. bag of 89% lean ground beef. Yes, a bag. Of ground beef. At the incredibly low price of $20. It has since been divided into eight smaller bags and frozen. What a deal! We also got some neat spices (seems there's a lot of Indian curry in our future), some fan-freakin'-tastic baba ghanouj, 1.5 lbs. of slab bacon, bulk hot Italian sausage, and a bunch of other stuff.
Katy's purchases there included the ingredients for shrimp spring rolls, which Tristram joined us to eat last night. They were very good, and so was the chili bok choy I insisted she make. :)
Mmm, food. I just wish all the good stuff had less bad cholesterol.

I wouldn't worry too much about the bad cholesterol. By the time you need one, an angioplasty will be quick, easy, and over and done with, kind of like Britney Spears' career.
