We are getting ready for another big Thanksgiving here at the Evans house. This year we have invited some Brits, a family from Mexico, a couple of Canadians and one or two Americans. I'm turning the rooftop into an outdoor dining area/garden room and it should be a really nice time. Of course I'm reminded of the wonderful Thanksgivings I've shared with so many of you. That's what inspires me to invite large numbers of people into my home and cook them turkey and dressing.
I've been doing some traveling. In October a week in Phuket, diving and relaxing. In the beginning of November I went with Connie to Salzburg for a week. He had a conference; I just hung out. It's a beautiful, old city and I feel like I covered every bit of it on foot, while somehow managing to skip the "Sound of Music" tour. I was not as successfull at avoiding those Mozart chocolates and sacher torte.
My next trip is home (Tennessee) for Christmas with a side trip to Winter Park, CO.
Some of you may know that when I dine at Trader Vic's, my favorite cocktail is the Menehune Juice. It is very yum and comes with this little doll who is a, you guessed it, Menehune. He's some kind of mythological polynesian island guy. Anyway, I keep one in the car with me and will take photos of him around town. Kind of "where's the Menehune?" By the way, I dropped my camera, (the last time I was at T.V.'s) and broke the LCD screen. So of course I got a new fancier one at duty free and I'm still learning how it works. So here's a couple of pics to bide the time.
Menehune sez: "This traffic sux!"
Robert and me at dinner in Phuket. This is how I look with short hair and a 12 year old on my shoulder.
The first week we were in Abu Dhabi we were invited to an Iraqi wedding. This photo was part of a video. Sorry. But you get the idea.
You know I love you. I'll write more soon.
