every day's just like starting over
and that's not always a good thing
This time I went to Natural Grocers to buy a group of different bars/snacks to try in anticipation of taking some on our backpacking trip. I have to say I didn't look at the ingredients list of any of them, so I didn't realize some of them have soy nuggets (crisps) in them, which is… Continue reading Many, Many Bars
Once again I had to go to REI to return something, and decided to try the Pro Bar Meal On- the-Go bar (Banana Nut Bread) again and a couple more flavors of that brand. You may remember in my last post that I thought that the Banana Nut Bread bar tasted stale and wasn't very… Continue reading Aaaand…more bars.
Since I was at REI yesterday to return a couple of things, I decided to buy some more bars to try in anticipation of needing snacks for backpacking this summer. Kangaroo had told me that the ProBar Meal On-the-Go bars were tasty, so I bought one of those, the Banana Nut Bread flavor. I also… Continue reading More Bars
Last week I went to REI to purchase various bars/snacks, in anticipation of our backpacking trip in August. I thought it best to try the bars before taking any on the trip, since you never know what they're going to be like. They may look good on the package, and their flavor may sound yummy,… Continue reading Bar Review
I was vising at Dad's the other day and was perusing the library, which I had not gone through yet after going through Mom's things after she passed away. I found a number of books I wanted to bring home with me, including Housekeeping in Old Virginia. I opened up the book saw that it… Continue reading Old Virginia
I posted this four years ago and thought it was worth another post. I don't think we'll be making fruitcake this year, more's the pity! It's so good that before you think to get a photo, you've eaten half of it! By popular demand, here is Mom's Applesauce Fruitcake recipe, taken from a long ago… Continue reading Mom’s Applesauce Fruitcake
This picture came up in my OneDrive memories yesterday and I had to share it. This is from our Oregon Pacific Crest Trail hike attempt two years ago, when we were at Fish Lake Resort. There was a heat wave and our little "rustic" cabin had no A/C, so we spent our time there on… Continue reading Chip and…Fry
On Friday, May 19, we had scheduled to hike at Champoeg State Park. We had been there a little while ago and I thought it would be a great place to do a hike with the ladies from church, because it is easy to walk, has convenient bathrooms, and has ice cream in the middle!… Continue reading Hike – Champoeg State Park (2)
Kangaroo chose to hike at Silver Falls State Park yesterday because the teacher she works with was planning to do the Silver Falls Trail Run 7 Miler and she wanted to cheer her on. The Silver Falls Trail Runs include a 5K, the 7 Miler, a half-marathon, a marathon, and a 50K, in the main… Continue reading Hike – Silver Falls State Park
