November 18, 2021 - November 24, 2021
After the busy day we had on Wednesday, Thursday was a lazy day. I took a walk in the morning and fixed all of our meals at home. I even baked an oatmeal cake with a coconut coating on top (Bob loved the cake).
We had lunch at Hierba Santa which has the best Mexican food we have had since we have been in San Miguel. Bob thought it would be a good time to experience a shot of Mescal after we finished lunch. We sipped the mescal slowly wincing a bit at each taste. Mescal definitely is not my thing.

| The sea bass was delicious. |
 |
| Fresh flowers are always on the tables at Hierba Santa. |
After lunch we walked around a bit, looking in some of the shops on the main street in our neighborhood. There is one very nice consignment shop in this area which will be having a big sale on Black Friday. I’ll enjoy returning to the shop next week for that event.
The weekend was mostly for watching football. Penn State beat Rutgers, 28 to 0. This is the first year in quite awhile that we have had a TV that we could view college football games on.

| My Sunday walk took me to the main square where an artisan market had been set up. |
 |
| I was tempted to purchase one of these Christmas trees. |
On Monday and Tuesday we hunted and gathered all of the items we will need to produce a Thanksgiving dinner on Thursday. On Tuesday, after our visit to La Comer for the groceries we forgot on Monday, we ate at a restaurant nearby called Rustica. We sat at the lovely outdoor dining spot in the courtyard and had a delicious meal served on “rustic looking” plates with some unique touches.
 |
| This dark chocolate brownie with ice cream was irresistible. |
 |
| The sink in the bathroom was most unique. |
 |
| We could picture ourselves sitting in this lovely courtyard all afternoon. |
 |
| This tree was growing in the middle of the restaurant. |
Of course, on Wednesday I started the cooking marathon. The meal will not be as elaborate as I used to prepare especially since we couldn’t find any cranberries or cranberry sauce in any of the stores we frequent. I will definitely miss Bob’s cranberry sauce. After all how can one eat turkey without cranberry sauce?
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving! Thank you for reading my blog.
