Once again I found myself without plans on Saturday night. After throwing together a quick dinner of mahi mahi en papillote (just a fancy French way of describing steaming fish and veggies in parchment paper) with quinoa, I decided to look for cheaper flights to Ft. Lauderdale. Airfares were even higher than when I checked earlier in the week. I decided to see if I could use miles. I logged on to the United site and was surprised to find out I had 195,000 miles. I was even more surprised to score flights with only a $10.00 fee.
I emailed R & H with my itinerary. I requested they dispatch a car to pick up their pastry chef on the Sunday before Thanksgiving. I’ll be baking the desserts for their Thanksgiving dinner. I’m sure I’ll also assist R with the rest of the dinner as his sous chef. The only thing left to do is find a place to board Ferdinand.
I spent the rest of the night watching Stars in Shorts on demand before climbing into bed with a stack of November Bon Appétit and Food and Wine magazines from the last few years. After dog-earing a number of potential Thanksgiving dessert recipes I turned out the light and headed to dreamland with Ferdinand curled up beside me.
how nice; happy you were able to get a flight!
so whatcha thinking about making? (drools)
Ferdinand. I love that name.
A ten dollar United flight sounds about right. Lol! That’s my kind of airfare!
