Head south into New Mexico and/or Arizona. Campiing is phenominal and plenty of natives around there. I grew up in that area. You will love it.
we definitely will, Dave. Ill probably hit you up when were in the area for some cuisine and recreation advice. :cheers2:
I know what you mean.. I prefer nature too. I love camping out! awesome! how long you guys gonna be on the road and when will you be in Washington?
This happened to me yesterday!! My bf and I got it into opur heads we were going to make a Thanksgiving dinner yesterday just for the hell of it, so we bought a turkey, squash, potatoes, the works. 20lb turkey, so my mom says put it in for 10 hrs (1/2hr/lb). We did. Got a wonderful stuffing recipe from my aunt and was confident all was well. No one told me to cover the bird. No one told me to sautee the bread if I wasn't going to toast it before making the stuffing. No one told me to pull the tail down off of the drumsticks or the oil from the outside would pool in the cavity and make my already soggy stuffing into pudding. Result: The skin was like papyrus. The breast meat directly under it was orange and dry. Everything was too salty. The drippings were gross and not suitable for gravy (tasted like vegetable oil). The stuffing was, like I said before, pudding. Everything else was fine, though... As in everything everyone else cooked but me. Our friends were good sports about it. I got a few compliments on the stuffing (which I put in the over a few more minutes till it was a more palatable consistency), and the general consensus was that it was better than college food... because that means so much.
I will look forward to it. We are blessed with a gorgeous area and any chance I get to show off, I will.
lol. those are grrrrreat questions. probably late april. do you think the weather will be suitable for outdoor slumbering by then?
this is so exciting! You guys so have to come over and hang with us, plus I can tell you some great places to visit too. I'll make my husband cook... he makes really great homemade sushi rolls, ya know. Yes, April will be warm enough to camp I think, except it might still be rainy then.. hard to say. June or July is the best time in Washington.. it's fucking gorgeous then. We go into Vancouver sometimes.. it's a big modern city but fun too, lots to do, a big asian culture and GREAT food. Been meaning to get to Victoria island but haven't yet. The Olympic national forest on the penninsula is amazing... you should totally go camp there.
not to shabby. say, whats the driving situation like from that area to central California in mid to late march?? should we have safe passage along the highway? oh man, we love sushi. Oysters, Crawfish AND SUSHI. we're just asking for mercury poisoning.:biggrin: we have some experience making some basic rolls, so we could surely help out. Im really stoked about checking out Victoria. From all i've heard, I hear its pretty damn gorgeous during the spring, as well. thanks for the suggestion! All you have to do is name a cool spot to check out, and I guarantee you it will make it on the list of places stop at. we want to see it all.
I haven't ruined a dinner lately... But...have you ever had to eat something at another person's house that tasted like ass? Last week I had to eat this disgusting couscous salad that had the texture of wet sand...
I almost ruin dinner all the time. Still not the greatest cook in the world...and Daniel's sick, so I get to cook tonight. Oh nooo! Haha. The other day, I bought some pasta bake thingy at the store and realized just as I pulled it out that I had put the package of bread crumbs in there instead of the seasoning. But I saved it, somehow I was able to get the seasoning in there without making too big of a disaster, and it turned out pretty damn good. Tonight's big endeavor- heating up some frozen chicken strips, corn, and instant potatoes because I didn't have enough money on me at the store to buy real ones, lol.
yeah, I can't stand alfredo sauce in jars. I make a really good one when I use cream... but plain milk doesn't work at all, as I found out.
