Hey, thanks for the note about the hike last weekend. I was actually thinking of heading up to the ridge trail myself. A friend of mine did that loop two weeks ago and said the views were incredible once you clear the treeline. I have been meaning to get out more and that sounds like exactly the kind of day I need. I just have to check the weather and make sure the path isn't too muddy. If the conditions are good I will probably go early and bring a light pack. The elevation gain is supposed to be gentle so it should not be too punishing. I might even bring a book and just sit up there for a while. Let me know if you want to join or if you have any other route suggestions. I am always looking for new places to explore that are not too crowded on weekends. Anyway thanks again for the tip and I will let you know how it goes if I end up going this month.

Also it was great catching up the other day. I feel like we have both been so busy lately that it is nice to just pause and talk about something simple. Hope your week is going well so far and that the weather holds up for your own plans. I am looking forward to hearing what you think of that trail if you go again.

I finally tried that lentil soup recipe you sent me and it turned out really well. I was a little skeptical at first because I usually wing it with soups but I followed your instructions exactly and the flavor was perfect. I added a touch more cumin and a squeeze of lemon at the end and it really brought everything together 1qmY3p8kyqI. I have been trying to cook more from scratch lately and this one is definitely going into the regular rotation. I made enough for a few days and it actually tasted even better the next morning after sitting overnight. I love when that happens with soups and stews. The texture was creamy without being heavy and the spices were warm without being overpowering. I served it with a slice of sourdough and it was exactly what I needed on a chilly evening. I also tried swapping in sweet potatoes for half the regular potatoes and that worked great too. Thanks again for sharing the recipe. I will probably make it again next week with a few more tweaks. Let me know if you have any other good ones I should try. I am on a bit of a soup kick right now and always happy to experiment. Hope you are doing well and staying warm. Talk soon.
