I actually just got back from that hike we were talking about last week. The trail was way more overgrown than I expected but the view at the top was completely worth the scratchy legs. I stopped counting how many times I almost tripped over roots. Definitely wearing boots next time instead of those old sneakers. The weather held up too which was a surprise because the forecast kept changing every hour. I took a bunch of photos but honestly none of them capture how blue the water looked. Have you been up there yet this season?

Oh yeah I finally tried that recipe you sent me last weekend. It turned out way better than I expected even though I accidentally used twice the garlic. Honestly though is there really such a thing as too much garlic I don't think so. The sauce was a bit thicker than yours looked in the photo but it still tasted great. I served it with some crusty bread and a simple salad on the side. The leftovers actually tasted even better the next day which is always a win in my book. Let me know if you have any other weeknight recipes that come together fast.
