Max and Becky are workign today (and so am I actuakly).. But diane and I hgot out for a freeat hike on the Boreego trail loop op in the mountains about 20 minutes away. It was a good thing qwe had our spikes.. it was aa beutiful 4.5 miile loop and abotu a third of that was covered with ice !
The snow as really beutiful 

on the way hime we stopped off at a grocery store to pick up provisions for the week. One of our buys was a beutiful persimmon.. We took it hoem to try it.. Evidently it wasnt ripe.. it gave us botht he worst coottonmouth I’ve ever had.. It was disgusting.. We need to try again with a ripe one !

TOnight we walked to one of our favorite local eateries. Tune up Cafe.. the site of an old gas station. The family that runs the place is Salvadoran (I think. SO I had the veggie salvadoran plate.. pupusas!   so delicious !

 

Right after dinner we all went shoppinfg for thanksgiving.. FIrst stop was trader joes.. no turkeys.. Then whol foods. We got the last one !!!!!

Back at Max and Beckys plans for thursday dinner got cooked up a little more. 

Max showed us how to make mayonaise from their own eggs. I’d never seen it .. it was mostly vegie oil. one egg yolk to several cups of oil and a little lemmon.. then max used an immersion blender.. .. Voila ! it was a miracle to watch  (miracle whip ?)

its great being here
