On my refrigerator this month, my bird magnet collection
continues to grow. I always seem to have at least one new magnet,
even when very little cooking happens!

December: Dining Away From Home
In December 2024, first we spent two weeks on a birding trip to Trinidad and Tobago. Then, two days after our return, we left home again for a week in San Diego. Our kitchen was very idle this month, so I’ve used the opportunity to summarize the year (above) and now to talk about some of our food experiences as we traveled. Sharing with Sherry’s In My Kitchen.

Love to see all those kitchens! Great photos. You had many good trips in 2024. Happy New Year.
I really enjoyed this post. How fun to see all of the various kitchens you've been in over the year. Fun. Wishing you a wonderful New Year.
So .any kitchens! Your travels and the kitchens point out to a great year of food, travel and time to enjoy it all.
Now I'm starving! All of the food looks delicious. I can't eat til after midnight, or I'll fall asleep. Loved seeing how you live and the food you enjoy.
Forgot to wish you a safe, healthy, and joyous New Year.
Hello Mae,
It is fun to see all the different kitchens.
Wishing you a great 2025, more delicious foods and travels.
Happy New Year!
It was a year of eating well.
I love all your magnets Mae. Your fridge looks fun. And I think I kitchen break in December will make you ready to cook again. At least until the next trip. Wishing you a wonderful, healthy, bird filled and travel filled 2025 to you and your family Mae.
That is a fun theme!
I have that same Thunderbird one, but mine is a clothing patch, not fridge magnet.
This was a really fun post! I always love your kitchen posts and this tour through the year was fun. That fridge is looking great! Happy New Year, my friend. May we dine together in the new year -- and not too far in!
Thanks for sharing both your kitchen over the months and your eating over the months. Great collection of bird magnets!
Love april's measuring cups. I have several sets and i just bought a Mason and Cash set too. Can't resist. Thanks for being a big part of IMK, and here's hoping we all have a marvellous 2025! Cheers Sherry x
