HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!!! Yes, I am yelling. I really can’t help myself. It is one of my favorites dinners with all the best dishes that my family brings. YUM! We haven’t done turkey in quite a few years. It’s just not everyone’s favorite main dish. In the past my brother in law has made an amazing brisket, and it was a huge hit. I didn’t want him to feel obligated to make that every year though. I think he would start cooking it the night before, and then have to watch it all night long. He gets this year off. For tonight’s dinner we are having a delicious beef tenderloin with a Cabernet-cherry Sauce. It’s a recipe my mom had found in a Sunset magazine many years ago. It is absolutely amazing, and this is the first year I am attempting it with hubby. After today I will post the recipe and hopefully a few pictures.

Laugh, gasp, and cheer for Robert and Sabina as they swap skyscrapers for stone cottages in The Crinkle Crankle Wall, a hilarious and heartfelt memoir about building a new life — and a guesthouse — in the wilds of Andalusia. Will their dreams of a simpler life flourish amidst rogue builders, power outages, and the harsh realities of rural paradise?”
A humorous account of a couple’s trials and tribulations in search of the good life
In pursuit of their dream of a simpler life amidst the natural beauty of Andalusia, Sabina and Robert embark on a life-changing journey from the bustling streets of Abu Dhabi to the rugged landscapes of Spain. Drawn by the allure of whitewashed villages, red geraniums, and endless olive trees, they find their paradise — a quaint stone cottage nestled in a secluded mountain valley.
Excited to transform their new abode into a welcoming guest house, the couple dives headfirst into their venture. With scant foresight and an abundance of determination, Sabina and Robert grapple with rogue builders, a lack of electricity, and the unpredictability of Mother Nature’s torrential storms and freezing winters.
Yet, it is amid these trials that they forge meaningful connections with their neighbours, who have inhabited the valley for generations. As they adapt to their rustic existence, they discover that life in the sun is far from the carefree utopia they envisioned.
Written with a wry sense of humour and unapologetic honesty, this poignant tale follows the duo’s rollercoaster of highs and lows. From the monotonous routine of their past to the daily challenges that greet them in Andalusia, every moment is an adventure, an opportunity for growth, and a chance to rediscover the true essence of the good life.
