Visiting Aunt Jennie the day before her last day at the Daily Grill, SF - 11/21/09

The day before Aunt Jennie was set to leave her former job at the Daily Grill we came in for one last delicious (and free) meal.  While in the city we did some shopping; stopped off at the outdoor ice skating rink in Union Square for hot chocolate (Ju), champagne (me) and beer (Jer); visited the Sea Lions at Pier 39 (I only posted one pic of the Sea Lions because we have 239390843 pics of the Sea Lions and we've all seen, along with heard and smelt, them before.

On the car ride up to the city Jer and I were talking about getting Ju a "Ben 10" watch (Ben 10 is a character from one of his fav. TV shows).  I was using the internet on my phone to research getting one and they were all $50+!!  But, while walking past the Walgreens we saw one for $15!! Score!!!  Ju just LOVED it!

I'm not sure what's going on in the picture.. Lol

After dinner at Boudin's Bakery.  I say, "Yumm".. And Jer says, "It was OK.  I wasn't too impressed."

At the Park with our Cousins - 11/16/09

This HUGE park is just a four minute walk down the street from our house.  The kids just love it.

Our Anniversary - 11.01.09

Next year we are going to have our picture taken BEFORE we eat, lol.

The Entrance

                                                             

Morrocan salad - the bread is denser and sweeter.  The "salsa" part if not spicey, but there is a lot of different flavors to it. YUM!!  I could have eaten that stuff all night.

The dish was ground chicken mixed with ground vegetables wrapped in phyllo and sprinkled with powdered sugar and cinnamon.  It's a very unusual combo, but so nice and light. Chicken Kabobs!

Mint tea with Baklava.. One can never have too much Baklava.. Or mint tea for that matter!

These pictures are from our anniversary dinner at a lovely Morrocan Restaurant. I'll mention a couple of things:

1) We were dead tired! And I mean DEAD tired. Jer and I were out the night before for Halloween at Firken Beaver's w/my cousin having Wyder Cyder and ONE celebratory anniversary shot (Pineapple Upside Down Cake -- which I do not recommend for anyone over the age of 22 years old) Not to mention the fact that we got up super early to pack and move, which we were still doing up until 1.5 hrs before our reservation...

2) We had chicken with chicken. Jer didn't want to do vegetarian and I'm not adventerous and would not do the lamb, fish or duck. However, the meal was absolutely DELISH!! I can't wait to go back.

Halloween - 10.31.09

This is our first blog post in several months -- since then the blogger has changed it's setting and we're still getting adjusted to those -- that is why this post looks funny.   During our time away from the blog we have been moving, had several colds, and been getting Julian settled into Nursery School, which he absolutely loves...

The pictures above are from Halloween.  It was short and sweet, but Julian loved every moment of it.  We ended up going to my cousin Caneisha's house in Tracy after trick-or-treating.  During the 45min car ride Ju managed to eat pretty much his entire bag of candy and then crashed, lol...
