Another Thanksgiving Dinner

Tonight, we had our own mini Thanksgiving dinner @ WLA.

We bought a 13 lbs turkey for $5 at Vons. It was the smallest one they had, unless we wanted to pay $8 for a smaller Butterball turkey (the $5 one was Safeway brand). So we went for the bigger bird.

And we also got the smallest glazed ham.
And three yams.
And a box of stuffing.

We got some fresh cranberry sauce from Steph's place the night before, so we were all set.

Of course I can't do anything w/ my broken foot, so I just sat around all day while じゅるる worked in the kitchen.

Sat, じゅるる's friend P and Koge came over.

Koge cried all night long. Found a little corner to sit down in, and continued crying.

Hmm. She didn't have any trouble settling down at Dee's house when she had to go there two years ago.

Everything was yummy.
And we have leftovers, so those will be devoured by Dee, Sat and us tomorrow.

Two Thanksgiving Dinners

Today, we had our traditional Yama family Chinese dinner for Thanksgiving.

Peking duck instead of turkey.
We went for the "three flavored soup" and found out it was a mushroom soup *laugh*

After the Chinese dinner, じゅるる and I headed over to Burbank to have pie at Steph's. She was hosting a traditional American dinner for couple of industry folks.

We were too full to eat the food, but still had room to eat her pumpkin pecan pie. She made it out of scratch! Like boiling a real pumpkin, instead of using a can. Actually, her whole dinner didn't use cans... like fresh cranberry sauce (which was also very yum!)

Tomorrow, じゅるる and I will make our own little Thanksgiving-like dinner.
Turkey, ham, mashed yams and stuffing.

No photos, cuz no camera. *sob*

Broke Camera (+ Crutches & Puffy Feet)

I went over to Dee's house today to pick up crutches.

C had broken her foot a while back, so I knew she had crutches... and it's better to borrow than to buy a new set & have it sit around in our closet for years to come, right?

We went over to K-town to eat bibimbop and kimchi noodles at the mall.
First time using crutches... and it took a while to get used to them. I started out with two, then decided to use one on my left side (bad foot side), then later realized it's easier to use on my right side to support my weight when I need to move my good leg.

On the way back to the car from the food court, my water bottle opened inside my bag... and everything got drenched, including my digital camera. It was floating in the water in my purse!! I think it died... *sob*

So I will be on a mission to buy a cheap digital camera for my blogging needs. I'm gonna keep breaking them, so I should go cheap.

But at the same time, I'm considering getting a Lumina(?). It's like a fake SLR, no? Sat thinks I should just get a SLR, but I don't want to break an expensive camera. Unless I buy one, but keep Sat in charge of it. She's better at taking pictures...

Then later tonight, as I was crocheting and playing Restaurant City on Facebook... I noticed my left foot was puffy!

Since I didn't have a camera, じゅるる took a picture w/ his phone.

It's like a fat person's foot!

I will keep my feet propped up for the rest of the night.
