San Antonio Apartment Living: November 2018
Welcome to this month’s edition of San Antonio Apartment Living, brought to you by Iron Horse Valley Apartments, our apartments for rent in San Antonio, TX. This month we’re here to help you celebrate November. We’re highlighting a month-long celebration, an upcoming holiday other than Thanksgiving, a new movie release, and more.
November Celebration Highlight: Peanut Butter Lovers Month
If you love peanut butter, November may be your new favorite month. Why? It’s National Peanut Butter Lovers Month! In honor of this celebration, we’re sharing a peanut butter inspired recipe with members of our apartment community.
Need some weekend plans? Try this recipe for a healthy twist on this classic treat. Here’s what the author has to say about it: “It’s all-natural, refined sugar-free, low-carb, high protein and totally nutritious. Don’t worry, though, it doesn’t taste like broccoli or anything. This super easy four-ingredient mousse is super rich, super creamy, perfectly sweet and packed with peanut butter flavor. After you get a little taste you won’t believe that this is actually good for you.”
Upcoming Holiday Highlight: French Toast Day
Angel Food French Toast from How Sweet Eats
Turn slices of angel food cake into light and fluffy French toast with this recipe. Here’s what you will need to make it: sliced angel food cake, eggs, milk, flour, vanilla, salt, cinnamon, and butter. Top your French toast with berries, whipped cream, maple syrup, or any other desired toppings.
Restaurant Highlight: The Gazebo Restaurant at Los Patios
Have you eaten lunch at The Gazebo? If not, you’re in for a real treat! Check out this nearby eatery for an unforgettable dining experience.
From the website: “The spacious, window filled rooms of the Gazebo restaurant, and its famous tree covered patio make for a wonderful lunch venue. Serving San Antonians and visitors since 1968, the Gazebo menu features classics like Chicken Green Enchiladas, Crepes Gazebo, the Gazebo Combination, as well as tasty and creative daily specials. Open for menu service 11:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m Tuesday through Saturday, with buffet-only Sunday brunch service, same seating hours. The Gazebo is closed Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years Day.”
Movie Highlight: The Nutcracker and the Four Realms
We’re excited to watch The Nutcracker and the Four Realms, a movie that came out this past weekend. Have you seen it yet? Here’s a description of the storyline as found on IMDB.com:
“All Clara wants is a key - a one-of-a-kind key that will unlock a box that holds a priceless gift from her late mother. A golden thread, presented to her at godfather Drosselmeyer's annual holiday party, leads her to the coveted key-which promptly disappears into a strange and mysterious parallel world. It's there that Clara encounters a soldier named Phillip, a gang of mice and the regents who preside over three Realms: Land of Snowflakes, Land of Flowers, and Land of Sweets. Clara and Phillip must brave the ominous Fourth Realm, home to the tyrant Mother Ginger, to retrieve Clara's key and hopefully return harmony to the unstable world.”
Board Game Highlight: Escape the Room
We love to play board games. As you gather with loved ones throughout the holiday season, take some time to make new memories by playing an exciting game together. We have a suggestion: Escape The Room: Mystery at the Stargazer’s Manor. “Escape the Room games began as digital adventures and quickly turned into real-life events all around the world where players are locked in a room and must uncover clues and hidden objects to escape. ThinkFun’s version of Escape the Room allows you to bring all the excitement of these experiences into your very own home!
"The Mystery: It’s 1869 and the town’s well-respected astronomer has not been seen since the untimely passing of his wife. Recently, strange things have been happening at his manor – loud and unfamiliar noises, an unpleasant smell, and smoke billowing from the observatory. It’s up to you and your guests to solve the mystery at the Stargazer’s Manor!
“The Objective: Spend an evening working with your guests to solve puzzles, unlock hidden clues, and unravel the mystery of the Stargazer’s Manor. Will you and your guests be able to solve the mystery and save the astronomer before time runs out?”
