We will have an active day - everything from cooking for Thanksgiving to shopping for a new outfit to go with my red cowboy boots to eating and listening to music on 6th. I am sure that there will be other activites in there too. We even thought we might wander back to Chuy's for those fabulous margaritas and their special nachos. One never knows what will come up when you are open to doing whatever comes to mind.
It is almost 11:00 a.m., Renee is cooking quiches in the kitchen and is giving me lessons. First up, the broccoli and cheese quiche! It smells just yummy! Second up, the crabmeat and scallion quiche! It is all about the layering and spices! What am I good at in the kitchen? Being an assistant and clean-up!
It is around 1:30 p.m. so we are off to have lunch again at Chuy's. However, this time we split the nachos special that were these individual huge homemade nachos with chicken, jalapenos, cheese, refried beans sala and lettuce that were arranged beside each other on the plate! In addition, we split beef fajitas that were fabulous. Of course, I never wrapped my fajitas. The inside ingredients are fantastic by themselves on my plate. The margaritas were just as good as yesterday!
After lunch, we found our way to Stein Mart to do some clothes shopping. I found a fabulous long sweater and leggings to wear with my red boots! Renee found some other goodies, such as her great plum-colored jacket. It so looks like her style!
Our next stop? We went to Specs to peruse the wine and liquor bottles to find the right wines for tomorrow (and for tonight) and vodka for the bloody mary's! The wine for tonight is a 2006 Beautiful Earth that has great legs! It is just a fabulous red wine. We would recommend this wine! Our last stop before coming back home was to go to Randall's again so that Renee could make a spinach artichoke dip for tomorrow.
It is 6:00 p.m. so what am I doing? Renee is making the spinach artichoke dip and bloody mary mix. I am waiting to do clean up! Red wine is in hand! Maxi Priest's CD from 1990 entitled "Bonafide" and also Mike Hosty is on for our musical entertainment. This is new to me but not to Renee. She has such a fabulous selection of music! Mike Hosty is a combination of delta blues, jazz and groove music. Maxi Priest is a Reggae vocalist.
We headed to dinner around 8:30 p.m. Dinner at Trio's at the Four Seasons was so unbelievable that I am not sure if I can describe it accurately so I am just going to list them! Appetizer: Pork Belly; Entree: Smoked Texas Rib Eye; Sides: Mac and Cheese with truffles and Cream Corn Creme Brulee; Dessert: Chocolate Creme Brulee. Renee and I split the entire meal. I am so full that I can barely move. I just had to have dessert or I would never forgive myself for not trying chocolate creme brulee that I had never heard of before today. I thank Renee for parking quite a distance away as we really needed to walk after that meal. Maybe I shouldn't eat again until Monday? Oh wait! Tomorrow is Thanksgiving so I think the answer is a "no"!
We have been having such late dinners that it is now time to hit the pillow! It is almost 12:00 midnight CST.
Well, I hope everyone else had a great day!
