Notorious

The past two weekends have been quintessential NorCal: camping in the redwoods, rope swings into swimming holes, eating through the Mission, and baking at the beach. Highlights include:

1. banana slugs, not seen since our trip to Portola Redwoods last summer. We be sluggin'!
2. JDep throwing back vodka/gatorades like the former frat boy that he is
3. SK going balls to the wall on the rope and living to tell the tale
4. MStud getting back in time for his bike date
5. Medjool's rooftop patio and beverages on a hot afternoon
6. Belgian fries with Thai chili ketchup at Frjtz

No new non-edibles (other than the critical car battery, of course) have been introduced into the household, and we are realizing that this month's initiative is not so challenging after all. Today's Boulder Creek tri-tip run is going to be but a faint memory next month as we drop it like it's vegetarian. Yes, Three's Company will be a meat-free joint for thirty full days, so any recipe ideas are appreciated!

Camping season is once again upon us, and Three's C could not be more prepared. Rolling coolers have been borrowed, tents have been packed, and homemade granola bars have been baked (thx, Mike). Car camping is just a warmup for what promises to be another awesome camping season. The agenda this year includes the old favorites, Henry Coe and Big Basin, and some new adventures, maybe Point Reyes and Castle Rock. Woo!

May has ushered in "buy nothing new" month, which was broken a mere two days in by a certain someone who shall remain nameless. In that person's defense, that J.Crew dress was half off. Sigh. Guilt. Everyone is back on the wagon now, and for the long haul. Don't be surprised, though, if the nationwide retail slump ends June 1. Mama needs a new bathing suit!
