Thanksgiving at Green

[dalthauser]

So Sierra, Alexis, her partner, and I went to Green for Thanksgiving.  The food was okay - best part all veg which is what usually keeps me away from Thanksgiving out.  Here are some pictures.  None of Alexis since she doesn't allow pictures of herself (sometimes I think she's a secret agent on assignment.....haha).


We got to San Antonio early, so we drove up Fredericksburg road a ways (Green is on N.Flores).  I love neighborshoods like this - so much character.  I could live here (not).  It's got a type of inner city charm during the day, but I am pretty sure I'd be terrified at night.




Menu: Sliced Seitan "Turkey", Bisquit, Mashed Potatoes, Dressing, Sweet Potatoes, Cranberry Relish, Green Beans, and Pumpkin Cobbler.



Sierra is a good sport about letting me take pictures of her eating.....



I thought black was supposed to make you look thinner.....bah.  In the interest of "keeping it real" I post this; however, I'm not happy about it :-)

Well, I think the food looks really yummy!

You look fantastic! You have such a beautiful smile!

[onecrowesorrow.livejournal.com]

Oh, and yeah for "no turkey" dinners!

Thanks!

I'm the most unphotogenic person I know, but I finally just accepted it and went on with my life :-)

Girl, you need a smack upside your negative thoughts. (I was going to say your head, but that's not nice)

You are wrong. You are VERY photogenic. You are very pretty, and you have a look of peace about you. Warm, caring eyes and a great smile. You gotta get over your negative thinking coz, honey, it just ain't true :)

You are very sweet. I guess I've just had some self-image issues lately - I'll get over it. :-)

I forgot to ask you how the computer was working out for you. Does it seem faster and do what you want it to the way you want it to?

Also, thank you for being sneaky and paying for the meal.

Sierra is adorable just like you!

The computer rocks - even the monitor picture is better (before there were wavy things in it and the picture sometimes was unsteady - but now it's perfect). Also, whatever you installed checks my spelling for me automatically (sometimes annoying - but necessary). I can't thank you enough.

Hey - did you get the situation taken care of - hope it didn't blow up! :-)

They never called us to come back in so I don't know what happened. It was annoying because I wanted to invite the two of you over to play games and watch movies.

I am glad you like the way the computer is working out for you. Did you watch any videos on it yet?

[eats-veggies.livejournal.com]

I watched a couple of Hulu.com clips - does that count? They played wonderfully.

That would have been fun - we'll do it next time. I'm glad we live reasonably close. :-)

[madamealexis.livejournal.com]

Good. I was not sure if the video card we put in would be acceptable for you or not. As long as you are happy I am happy with it.

That looks yummy! You and Sierra look lovely. :)

[hanksterz.livejournal.com]

Whoa. If not a secret agent, maybe Alexis is hiding from the authorities?

The dinner looks yummy.

[madamealexis.livejournal.com]

You are on the right track but for the wrong reason.

[eats-veggies.livejournal.com]

It was pretty good and much easier than cooking at home (though if I had enough friends to make it worthwhile - I wouldn't have minded) :-)

[texasts.livejournal.com]

wOoT!

[kabuldur.livejournal.com]

That dinner sounds yum!

Don't be so down on yourself - you have pretty blue eyes and look very caring. I can see the results of your exercise, too. Keep going, you!

Sierra is adorable.

The food looks de-lish! I have to laugh at Sierra's expression it reminds me of my kid :)

You look fabulous, beautiful smile bright blue eyes and creamy complexion. If you aren't photogenic you must be a knock out in person.
I'm glad you had a great day!

Sweet potatoes! I had no sweet potatoes this year. Yummy.

You do have a lovely smile :)

[walksbeauty.livejournal.com]

You are a total cutie pie! Look at those eyes and nicest smile... Sierra looks so much like you! And WHY doesn't your friend allow pictures? I mean, I can relate since I hate pictures of myself (we've discussed) but it makes for much more fun to see all present at a party like you had yesterday, don't you think?! The food looks great! yum! I already had morning-after breakfast of leftovers and it was every bit as good as I hoped.. I love Thanksgiving leftovers most! Pumpkin pie and carrot cake for lunch! haha

Alexis just doesn't like her picture taken. I'm not sure why, but she's pretty adamate about it.

I am the same way, but I told myself when I started my journal that I was going to document my life - - and that includes pictures :-)
