Thanksgiving in Reno Part 3

Friday morning Anna made an enormous batch of delicious ebelskivers for breakfast. When everyone was ready we drove up the Mount Rose Highway to Lake Tahoe and Sand Harbor. We skipped rocks, hunted crayfish, walked the nature trails, and snacked a bit. We drove back up the mountain to Tahoe Meadows for some sledding. Back home, Rob won several rounds of Bananagrams. For supper, Rob and Anna introduced the adults to 168 Chinese Restaurant. We were the first ones there, but very quickly it filled up with Asians, which is always a good sign. They have all the typical sweet Hawaiian kinds of Chinese food, but Anna ordered some extraordinary things off the chef's menu, and the server recommended an item. All told, it was wonderful: new and different dishes and flavors!

This was yet another fun day. The Youngs are headed back to AZ today and that is the only thing I am sure of. We will, however, let you know what happens today. That's all for now.

We made enough evil schemers to feed the world. Who knew it would be way too much. I am officially fired from the job of figuring out amounts of food to feed large groups.
