I was just thinking about that hike we did last spring. Honestly I don't think I've ever been more tired but the view from the top made it all worth it. Remember how we got lost for like an hour because the trail markers were so confusing. I still laugh thinking about us trying to read that old weathered map. Anyway I was looking at photos from that trip and it made me want to plan something similar this year. Maybe we could try that trail you mentioned near the lake. I heard the wildflowers are supposed to be incredible in early June. Let me know what you think and if you're free that weekend we could make a proper trip out of it. I'll bring the snacks this time and maybe even a real map so we don't end up wandering off course again. r3P2sFXhJl It would be great to get out of the city for a couple days and just breathe some fresh air.

I finally tried that pasta recipe you sent me and it turned out way better than I expected. The sauce was so simple but the flavors were really rich. I added a bit of extra garlic because you know me I can never have too much. The trick with the pasta water really did make a difference in the texture. Next time I want to try adding some mushrooms to see how it changes the taste. Let me know if you have any other recipes like that one I really enjoyed making something that felt fancy but wasn't too complicated. Cooking has been a nice way to unwind after work lately and trying new things keeps it interesting. I also picked up a cast iron pan last week and I am excited to try it out maybe for a stir fry or some seared chicken.
