Happy Thanksgiving! Hope that everyone had a safe and charming holiday, surrounded by loved ones. As usual, lots of travel in my end of the world, this time to see some far-flung extended family. We went out to dinner, so I don’t even have one, tiny little recipe to share with you this year. Though, I suppose that’s fine; most of us gobble up the same dinner anyway. The visits were nice, and now I’m anxious to return home, finish my holiday shopping and gear up for a busy end of 2017.

Speaking of holiday shopping, I have the perfect gift for yourself, a (really) loved one, or literally any person you’ve ever met. The fine folks of Villa 353 Degrees North are offering the readers of Macarons and Mayhem a 20% reduction on their next stay. After my far too short of a perfect visit, I literally cannot imagine a better holiday gift than another stay in this slice of paradise. Consider this the greatest of regifts. No closet candle for you, stay at this Macarons approved villa instead. You’re welcome.
