Gold Metal Cookie that I can bite into. Work award, video link: https://youtu.be/NtETTH1VmH8 #teamwork 👍

Didn't get a tree this year, but sure nice looking at one. Counting down to #Christmas #holidays #timeoff #sanfrancisco

New frames with filter! Reveal in 2-3 weeks! #throughthehayes #sanfrancisco #foureyes 😂#latergram (at Through the Hayes Optometry)

Love the lights at night. #feelingfestive #sanfrancisco #japantown

#Japantown, nicely lit! #sanfrancisco #feelingfestive (at Japantown Peace Plaza)

This was on one of the classroom doors. Nice reminders! For kids and for us adults. #latergram

Back to school, middle school. #filming #onlocation #productionlife

Something about this plaza (or mayne the decorations) made me stop to take a look and take a photo. #Christmas is around the corner! #verticallines #sanfrancisco

Thanksgiving dessert: SusieCakes' Apple Crumble Pie with handmade cool whip. So GOOD! #latergram #thankful #grateful

New discovery: SusieCakes! I had no idea their cake is so delicious! Oh my! (Had my first taste of their Apple Crumble Pie yesterday, photo to come). (at SusieCakes Bakery)

Spatchcock turkey! A new way to cook turkey. I had no idea! My stomach is ready. Yum yum!!! #thankful #grateful #lifeisgood

Waiting... Patiently... #thankful #grateful #lifeisgood

Jalapeño went in here, tuna tartare with sesame. Recipe calls for prep time 20 minutes, took me an hour+! I don't cook much -- is this considered cooking? Happy Thanksgiving! #thankful #grateful #lifeisgood ❤️💙💜🙏

First time using and prepping jalapeño in a dish. I learned how to remove the vein and seeds. No tears! :) #smallvictories 👏

Hello mochi! Yum!!! I've not had these in a long time! For Thanksgiving holiday weekend, I'm having one each day! L to R: 2 mango mochis, 1 pink mochi with lima bean paste (top), 1 fried red bean mochi (bottom), and 2 mochis with red bean paste (my fav!). Happy Thanksgiving eve and holiday!!! 🦃❤️🎉🍾🍷

Chocolate hot fudge sundae for this lactose intolerant gal! Who cares because it's been that kind of a day! #needavacationsoon

Snails on branches. Are these snails? Interesting nonetheless. #afternoonwalk #mountainview #nature
