It's almost turkey time!
Only one more day til Turkey Day! Gonna help mama tonight with the all the preps. Then early tomorrow morn mama stuffs the bird and bakes it fer hours…just in time fer dinner! Bro and sis and cousins are making dishes and hmm, hmm, goodness fer all.
Yday was a blast with BFF. We lunched at Charlie Palmer’s at South Coast Plaza. Good stuff. Started with Charlie’s version of French onion soup, covered with a puff pastry. Wow! Then we shared a steak salad and the steak was really WOW!!! So yummy!! I’m not the biggest salad fan as I’m not into rabbit food, but man, this salad was yummy! We also tried a duck meatball appetizer that was just ok. Prolly cuz it’s duck. I had a crème brulee trio fer dessert!!! OMG! Vanilla, pumpkin, and espresso!! All 3 were so sinfully delicious! Washed everything down with a glass of “Kung Fu Girl” Riesling and another wonderful time with BFF.
Then later in the evening we went to a holiday boutique at a neighbor’s place and I got a cute hoodie. Something new to add to the poker wardrobe. I always like wearing hoodies cuz the casinos are so cold. We stopped at Kelly’s house and she showed me her backyard! Wow! I thought I was at a resort, not someone’s backyard! It had its own huge bar with seating fer 10, 2 plasma TVs, beers on tap, and custom built heaters fer the chilly evenings. Right next to it is a huge fireplace with additional seating. And with the pretty pool and spa combo, I really felt like I was at a hotel. So nice!
Played a couple SNGs yday morn but didn’t cash in either. Thus another losing workday. I am planning my calendar through end of April 2010 and if all works out well and how I want it to work out, it means I will be in Europe playing in the Spring. Hoping Bahamas will be in my future in January. February is LA Poker Classic, March will be in Vega$, but April will hopefully be in Italy and Monte Carlo as I am gonna try hella hard to qualify fer both EPT tourneys on Stars. Since BFF and family will be in Europe during that time, it would be so awesome if we can meet up and tour Europe together. If I don’t qualify, then I’ll be playing sats fer Bellagio’s Five Star Classic. Then lo and behold, WSOP 2010 is back! Time is flying by quickly.
In the meantime, just gonna be thankful fer good health, a good family, good friends, good food, and hopefully good opportunities to pursue the above. Turkey fer everyone! Extra gravy please!
