Happy Thanksgiving week (holiday here in the US). We hosted our first Friendsgiving yesterday and we had fun! Thank God it was a success!HA. Lots of food and everyone had a great time especially the kids! Mia is such a great host to her little friends:) It is a lot of work but it&#8217;s so worth it! Hubs prepared the turkey and I&#8217;m not a fan of turkey so I wanted to make another dish that I like so I made roast pork belly (lechon belly). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This week, I had my birthday too! My Dad In law stopped by to bring us Chic Fil A! It&#8217;s mine and the kids favorite fast food:) so it was great! We wanted to try a new Vietnamese restaurant for my Bday dinner but it was too cold, raining and Matthew was still recovering from a cold so we decided to just do take out. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"941\" height=\"706\" src=\"https:\/\/www.calamariqueen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/fall-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12882\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.calamariqueen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/fall-1.jpeg 941w, https:\/\/www.calamariqueen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/fall-1-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.calamariqueen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/fall-1-768x576.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"487\" height=\"649\" src=\"https:\/\/www.calamariqueen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/fall1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12883\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.calamariqueen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/fall1.jpeg 487w, https:\/\/www.calamariqueen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/fall1-225x300.jpeg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 487px) 85vw, 487px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"487\" height=\"649\" src=\"https:\/\/www.calamariqueen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/fall2-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12884\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.calamariqueen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/fall2-1.jpeg 487w, https:\/\/www.calamariqueen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/fall2-1-225x300.jpeg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 487px) 85vw, 487px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"487\" height=\"649\" src=\"https:\/\/www.calamariqueen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/fall3-1.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12885\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.calamariqueen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/fall3-1.jpeg 487w, https:\/\/www.calamariqueen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/fall3-1-225x300.jpeg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 487px) 85vw, 487px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With our Friendsgiving hosting, we shopped at Costco to get some things.
