Hey, thanks for asking about the hike. We ended up taking the trail around the lake instead of going up the ridge. The weather was perfect, maybe 68 degrees with a light breeze. There was this one spot where the water was so clear you could see the rocks on the bottom.
We stopped for lunch near a fallen log and just watched the dragonflies. I forgot my sunglasses, but my friend had an extra pair. The whole loop took about three hours with breaks. The trailhead had a little kiosk with maps, which was helpful.
Next time we might try the northern route, but that one is a bit longer. I heard there’s a waterfall if you go past the second bridge. Anyway, it was a good day to be outside. bkukso035418N Let me know if you want to join next weekend. I’ll pack snacks.

Oh, I finally tried that pasta recipe you sent. It came out pretty good, though I used whole wheat fusilli instead of spaghetti. The sauce was simple but the garlic really made it. I added a bit of basil from my little pot on the windowsill.
I think the trick is to not overcrowd the pan when you brown the sausage. Next time I might use chicken instead. The whole thing took about 45 minutes including prep. I served it with a side salad and some crusty bread.
My family liked it, even the picky one. I’m thinking of trying the lemon version next week. If you have any other quick weeknight dinners, send them over. I’m always looking for something that doesn’t require a ton of dishes.
