I hope everyone had a tasty Thanksgiving. It's such a strange holiday. How everyone cooks the same meal. I've always thought that odd. Thankfully this was year number three celebrating with a vegan so I feel like the same-old same-old at least gets a new twist. This year the food was amped up a notch of excitement as Adam deep-fried the turkey. Yes, ladies and gentleman - you've heard the rumor that it can be done! And Adam and I have tasted the proof! fictional_emily also saw the miracle of turkey with her own two eyes, but as she is the aforementioned vegan, none of it passed her lips. Let me just say that it was the best turkey I've ever had in my life. Highly recommended.

After dinner it was off to Sonoma County with Adam's parents. A fine trip and if I wasn't strapped for uninterrupted time I'd go into more details. Here's the dirty run-down:
*I love Sonoma and want to move there. We went walking/hiking at the Jack London State Historic Park. Very pretty. I miss trees.
*We saw the new Bond film. So good! Daniel Craig is magnificent as the new Bond. And, holy hot damn to boot! Plus, the "Bond girl" phenomenon was kept to a very respectable minimum. The main girl character was also very smart. Yay!
*We found the new mecca of wine tasting: Locals Wine Tasting. Mildly pretentious website, but a very nice place to taste wine and the wines are definitely some of the yummiest in the Sonoma valley - and some of the most affordable. Very exciting. Plus, the town is so small there isn't a stop light to be seen. Love it.
*I scored the new Nigel Slater cookbook The Kitchen Diaries.
*Lastly, we saw the Da Vinci Code movie. Adam's parents had it on DVD. I couldn't help but laugh out loud at some of the pontificating. Two caveats: Tom Hanks played down the main characters overwhelming arrogance and Sir Ian McKellen can act anyone under the table.

This concludes another boring list of what I've been up to.

If we lived in the same locale, that would be wonderful. Adam would leap for joy. Once you're film careers take off you'll be able to afford a nice home up there. *pretty please god*

By the way, we're 2/3 of the way through BtVS season 7. Wow! If only seasons 5 and 6 had been this good! I don't even hate Faith! (yes, I did indeed just write that!) Robin is great addition and Andrew is just the best part of the whole show. Buffy is still a whiner - will she EVER learn to quit being so self-important? And yet, fantastic!
