Indio, California: After remaining in Portland a few more days so DT could see his knee doctor one last time (we hope), we flew down to Los Angeles Thursday to see the kids and fetch our car from their driveway.
We scored 2000 bonus airline miles because catering forgot to include the salad dressing for the onboard lunch. Really? I'll take the free miles, but life can continue without salad dressing. It wasn't like we were dining at The French Laundry. We were on a less-than-two-hour shuttle flight. But, dang, if the "we're so sorry" miles weren't put into our account a few hours later. If only their catering department were as efficient as their mileage plan staff?
Instead of driving straight back to our motorhome from Los Angeles Friday morning, we made a pit stop to downtown Palm Springs for smoked chicken enchiladas at Blue Coyote.




You may (or may not) be curious as to why I would purchase a turkey breast the week after Thanksgiving? My answer: leftovers. More specifically a turkey sandwich. Lisa's family are vegetarian, so there was no bird gracing their table. The turkey was not missed, due to the over-flow of other traditional Thanksgiving dishes and Lisa's extraordinary cooking skills. But the turkey sandwich the next day was truly missed. By me... even though, I was vegetarian for over 12 years... and never ever forget Vegan Month.)


Until my next update, I remain, your Indio correspondent.
