Thanksgiving - Part I
So yesterday was Thanksgiving here in the US. We had the day off, so we went to our friends Adam and Brad's place to share a great dinner.
Adam prepared a delicious turkey with great stuffing, the best cranberry-orange relish and of course sweet potatoes. Brad made the best pumpkin cheesecake ever, Bénédicte and Benoît brought creamy spinach, Sébastien took care of the cheese and we brought butternut squash-apple-curry soup and a gratin dauphinois.
Here's some pics of this nice and relaxing day, thanks to Brad and Adam!
Relaxing by the fire...

...And the turkey!
Almost ready!

Car damage and Modern Art
So here's some pics of the damage on beautiful Versa's bumper.
Just scratches and some punctures
And a picture of the new painting we got at work for the Celebration of Science on wednesday the 14th.
The artist is Jacques Mandelbrojt, a french mathematician, theoritical physicist and modern artist.
The left painting represents Natural Immunity and the right one is Acquired Immunity, both paintings are very big so I couldn't manage to take a pic of the whole display.

Mario Galaxy and "petit accrochage" (fender bender)
On tuesday afternoon, Toys R Us was releasing the new Wii game, Mario Galaxy, at 5:00. And when you buy it, you get a $25 gift card! I couldn't miss this opportunity so after work I went to go get game and gift card.
Not only I didn't get the game, but I got in a little car accident. Beautiful Versa is fine, just some scratches and small punctures on the bumper, the only damage was the plastic bumper of an old Ford Taurus. I was just leaving a red light when the guy in front stopped, and BAM!
The evening ended well when my friend and coworker Adam called to say he got the game for Jay and I, thank you!
Beautiful Versa should be repaired very soon, no worries!
Wii got it!

Texas State Fair
Just realized that we didn't upload the pics from the State Fair. It was fun as usual, we had turkey legs and funnel cake and fried guacamole (humm), we saw the longhorns, rabbits, sheeps, even butterflies!
Big Tex is still the ugliest statue ever!
That was GOOD!

October in pictures
It's november, we can smell the turkey already. So to say good-bye to october here's some random pics of the things we did.
I bought new slippers!
As a fashionable Lucy Van Pelt (the mean girl in Snoopy) for Halloween!
Jay made a new friend but the friendship didn't last long
We come in peace...
Picnic at the lake of course
The little bull from a great spanish red wine called Sangre de Toro.
