Emily, Dan's sister in law, baked it for this occasion. It was light, the right amount of tang, all in all perfection. Not to mention, excellent piping job (only her 2nd time)! Post Thanksgiving food heaven. I ... http://www.mesohungie.com/?p=78 I love Thanksgiving! It's one of my favorite holidays (surprise, surprise) because it consists of great food and good quality family time. What's even better than Thanksgiving, is Friendsgiving! Swap out real family for urban family and things just got even better. This year, I had TWO Friendsgivings to go ... http://www.mesohungie.com/?p=76 I belong to one of my favorite local wineries wine club, the Bogle Bandwagon.

It's not like I don't eat Nicaraguan food on a regular basis but sometimes it's nice to give mom a break from the kitchen. Upon arrival, I found the decor ... http://www.mesohungie.com/?p=64 As we all know, yogurt has swept the nation again...(anyone remember the yogurt blitz of the late 80's, early 90's?) and Sacramento is no exception: multiple Big Spoons, Mochii, Top This Yogurt, Yummy Yogurt Cafe, etc. And these are just the downtown ones!!!
