All Around Great Day!

Hello Friends!
I hope you are all doing well. I had a lovely, restful day off today. I finished taking down and packing up all of my Halloween decorations. It is always sad to see them go - the house looks so empty between Halloween and Christmas - my two big decorating holidays! I have a few fun things for fall/thanksgiving - including these adorable plates that I bought at Homegoods a few weeks ago. I also found this super cool vintage looking stand that the plate looks cute on. I bought 3 sets because I thought they would be ideal for serving pumpkin pie on someday when Tim and I host our first Thanksgiving. Speaking of food we love, I thought I would do something mean and cruel (mostly to my sister who will see these pictures and CRAVE this food until she can get some for herself) and post pics of the dinner we had tonight. For some reason, we all love Indian food - if you haven't tried it before, you have no idea what you are missing. It is divine!Samosas filled with potato, onions, peas, and fennel.
Alu Ghobi (cauliflower and potato in a heavenly sauce - Tim's favorite!)
Naan - clay oven bread baked to perfection. YUM!
Not a bite left in the house. We ate at the table by candlelight and listened to Christmas music. It takes so little to amuse us.
Author's Note: The Indian food is from Clay Oven Restaurant in Irvine, which has been a great OC find. I am originally from North Orange County - I used to go to Maharaja Palace in Tustin - which is also super fabulous. Have not tried that one in Corona Del Mar, but we love to go to the beach for dinner, so it is on my list. Thanks!

What Indian restaurant did the food come from. We like Mayur in Corona del Mar, but it is a long drive from Dove Canyon.

The food looks absolutely delicious.

Also, I love your turkey platter and the holder. It looks really elegant. It reminds me of the Spode turkey platter. Very nice, indeed!

We have a HomeGoods store here and I have never been to it. I need to put that on my must do list.

Have a great weekend.
