This weekend has been such a blast!!!! As I mentioned earlier, Jason and I were going to attend a Shabat dinner, which we did and Sharon’s parents are just the coolest! We felt right at home as soon as we walked through their front dor. I also said that they were going to serve Kuku-Miduku, and I was terrified what this mystery name was going to actually be and what the heck was I supposed to do if I ended up not liking it. Well, imagine my surprise when I LOVED IT!!! It is basically enchiladas! – I know my sister Alex would absolutely LOVE IT TOO! I will have to make it when she comes and visit during Christmas.

Ok, the next day, we got up nice and early and headed out to the farmer’s market and the produce was just amazing! It is amazing how a beautiful lipstick pepper and a sunshine melon can make someone so happy!!!! Yum!!!

We then went to the Shrewsberry Festival and it was a lot of fun. It was very much like a historical reinactment vs a D&Ders heaven, which is what I was concerned about. We were able to get so many pictures, and although Jason was dissapointed that there wasn’t any honey mead (what’s up with that?), he did get to enjoy a bowl of haggis – sheep guts in intestines, if I was told correctly!?! – Aaron and Sharon were the perfect hosts and I laughed all weekend with them!!!!

NEXT STOP: Pittock Mansion in Portland! Ooh! I just love that place and I know that Sharon will love it too!!! 🙂 Anyway, I am heading off to bed! I will tell you more about our weekend tomorrow night!

Aloha nui loa,
Christina 🙂
