Indio, California: With plans to spend the Thanksgivukkah holiday in Los Angeles, our time today was occupied with errands and shopping for groceries. I will be cooking all day tomorrow and DT will be golfing all day tomorrow. This is exactly what happened last year, and my plot to have DT out of my way all day really worked out then... so we are bringing the tradition back.
Oddly enough, I am also preparing the same dish as last year - Salmon Rillettes. Seems like another good tradition, as this appetizer is simply out-of-this-world and Lisa requested it again. I am also baking rolls and making a few other things - including dinner Wednesday evening.
Hopefully My Driver will take me out to dinner after he returns from golf?

Looks and location can sometimes be deceiving, because El Mexicali is a great place, with great food and a great atmosphere - and it is family-owned and operated. What's not to love about a train rumbling-by ten feet from your table during your meal?


After eating in a little local place like this, it amazes me that those huge national chain restaurants (serving what they claim is "Mexican food") can even stay in business.

Funny. Now that I think of it... can you name two types of restaurants in America where "combination plates" are menu staples? Chinese and Mexican. Hmmmm...
Luckily, I had a super healthy low-calorie, low-fat vegetarian meal planned for dinner. Our neighbors, Lois and Steve (and their huge golden retriever, Rocky) were arriving today and we had invited them to relax with us over dinner after their long RV trip.

Rocky may have enjoyed a few bread crusts here and there.
Until my next update, I remain, your combination correspondent.
