As the dust settles

As the dust from the last several hectic months settles I am able to begin working on a few things that I have wanted to put my time into. I am going to begin writing down my recipes so that they are easier to share. My intentions have been to do this for a long time but wiring this blog and seeing all the people who check it inspires me to become more diligent with this task. I have begun hitting up the gym as well. Shape up or ship out! I am also going to watch more film this year. Last year I really slacked off. The film product was extremely poor last year which did not help the matter.

I hit 5 years at my job in Dec. This is both fun and depressing. The fun part is that I have now earned 3 weeks paid vacation. Now....what to do with it.....
Jamie and I are planning a week long hiking trip. We are going to fly out to Salt Lake City, UT and rent a car. We will be doing day hikes through the mountains. Heading north, until we finally reach our destination of Missoula, MT. We will see Yellowstone and a few other major tourist spots but my personal goal is to get the more obscure hiking treasures. The trip should be a great experience for a nice summer trip, it can not be any worse the last summers fiasco to the Dominican.

As for cooking, I mainly cook some lazy foods this week. I made a stir-fry, some seitan chickin, etc. However, I did get some vegan marshmallow and made some Smore Cookie Bars. I am not a big fan but Jamie loved them and ate one at work each day this week. I have some new food ideas I am going to try out this weekend and next week, so keep your eyes peeled.
