CVS ExtraCare Reminder
I checked the trail before heading out, and it was perfectly manageable if you take it slow at the start.
The path gets a little uneven near the second bend, so I wore the shoes with better grip and was glad I did.
I also brought an extra layer because the breeze picked up once I got past the trees, and it made a bigger difference than I expected.
If you're going later, I'd leave a little earlier than planned so you don't feel rushed.
I stopped twice just to take in the view and drink some water, and that made the whole walk a lot better.
I'd definitely go again, but next time I'd pack a small snack and maybe a hat because the open stretch has almost no shade.
Overall, it was calm, easy to follow, and kind of the reset I needed.

I ended up trying that recipe this afternoon, and it turned out much better once I stopped rushing the prep.
I chopped everything ahead of time, set the bowls out, and that made the whole thing feel easier instead of chaotic.
The main change I made was lowering the heat and giving it a few extra minutes, which fixed the texture right away.
I also added a little lemon near the end because it needed something fresh to wake it up.
Next time I'd double the herbs since they disappeared into the mix more than I thought they would.
If you make it tomorrow, I'd say trust your taste as you go instead of following the timings too strictly.
Mine looked ordinary at first, but after it rested for a bit, everything came together nicely and even the leftovers held up well later in the evening.
