Día y noche buena
The best laid plans ....
... the day started with plans. Special plans.
As you've probably seen in a previous post, you all know my love for every food that is Bolivian :) So, to share the love, we planned a little trip to Encinitas to introduce Mom and Dad to our local connection to Salteñas & chicha morada .... but nope, it was closed. But at least we got to see this one store that reminded us of Leeny :) So instead of yucca frita, we decided to head of to Oggie's pizza.
The afternoon was spent preparing the fixings for our special dinner as well as Dad getting everything ready to put up the floating shelf in the red nook project.
With dinner in the oven, we managed to hang and secure the floating shelf and then I came to the sobering realization that my oven had given up its spirit ... the lamb and veggies were only warm and I scrambled to throw it into our little toaster oven (thank goodness we weren't 10 people !) and hope for the best.
To pass the time, we went to visit Candy Cane Lane, one of many neighborhoods in San Diego that go all out with Christmas decorations. Lots of my pictures came out blurry, but from the few that I managed to get, you can just imagine what the rest of the neighborhood looked like :)
Upon our return, it seemed like things had cooked properly, so we sat ourselves down at the table to eat our meal. The night concluded with the opening of presents and after a very full day of sightseeing, driving, cooking, diy-ing, and just spending time together, we all went to bed after midnight :)
:) :) Merry Navidad everyone :) :)
