Thanksgiving in L.A.

Thanksgiving this year was very atypical. And very delicious. As a midwestern mother of three, cooking for days to prepare for a Thanksgiving feast was de rigeur. So what a treat it was to be a guest this year. The whole family visited Jill's new home in Malibu and we had Thankgiving dinner with relatives (Jill's dad's brother and very pregnant sister-in-law, Jamie). They made the turkey, but Jill's new L.A. culinista prepared the most scrumptious side dishes! She treated us to the best ever sourdough/mushroom stuffing, cippolini onions with balsamic and raisins, garlicky green beans, adobo chili sweet potatoes, acorn squash with chili lime sauce and fruity cranberry sauce - we devoured it all.
I love to cook, but send me a culinista anytime ... fantastic, homemade food - without the work! We enjoyed the beach and then enjoyed dinner. (Hey, Jill, can we come again next year)?
