Maybe I'm back in the groove. First, the damage assessment here. It doesn't amount to much. One of the quaking aspens, which had already partly broken, snapped. Not a big deal. I'll see if I can clear it out alone when things dry out a little. That's it. I'm very fortunate compared to many in the county.
Walked 3 miles with 33 pounds in 54 minutes. Not bad. One hip was a little sore. Again, not a big deal.
I finished my hike menu plans and made an initial shopping list to get started. Here are my hot meal menus. It's a lot of bother to make meals for one, so I'm making each of these menus for two and splitting them. I'll have each meal twice, divided between the first and second half of the hike. (with comments)
| gravy bacospuds olive salad tootsie rolls | not fancy but very fast to fix and very light weight |
| cheesy bacospuds broccoli salad granola bar | not fancy but very fast to fix and very light weight |
| buttermilk dill soup crackers fruit mix | very yummy, very fast to fix and very light weight |
| tuna curry w/rice peanuts pistachio pudding | a little heavier but very filling and a nice comfort meal |
| beans & vegs couscous spotted applesauce | a new main dish I want to try, looks like it will be filling and light weight |
| pizza bowl macaroni peach yogurt | a new main dish I want to try, looks like it will be filling and medium weight |
| turkey tetrazzini spaghetti veggie plops | a comfort food favorite, medium weight |
| maple acorn sausage rice cakes tootsie rolls | a nice autumn hot meal, medium weight |

Glad that was all the damage you had there.
ReplyDeleteYour menu sounds good. I'm curious about what bacospuds and veggie plops are.
