Hey, thanks for getting back to me. I finally took that hike up to the ridge last weekend and the view was incredible. The trail was a bit muddy from the rain earlier in the week but nothing too bad. I ended up taking the longer loop by accident and added about two miles to the trek. My legs were sore the next day but it was totally worth it. I saw a pair of hawks circling overhead for a while and a few deer grazing in the meadow near the summit. I brought along some sandwiches and just sat on a rock for an hour taking it all in. The weather was perfect — sunny with a light breeze and not too humid. I think I'll go back again next month maybe try a different route this time. mYOI5tcMpcE8 There's supposed to be a waterfall further up that I missed. Let me know if you'd want to join next time. I'll bring extra snacks.

I finally tried that recipe you sent me last week. It came out way better than I expected honestly. I was a little nervous about the timing on the vegetables because I usually overcook them but this time they had a nice bite to them. I served it with some rice I had in the pantry and it all came together really well. I made a few substitutions because I didn't have fresh ginger so I used powdered and it still worked. I think next time I'll add a little more garlic and maybe some chili flakes for heat. My roommate tried a bite and asked for the recipe too so I sent her your way. I'm thinking of trying one of those sheet pan meals next — just toss everything on one tray and call it dinner. Let me know if you have a favorite one. I've been trying to cook more at home instead of ordering out and it's actually been kind of fun. Not having a million dishes to wash is a big plus.
