Adventure time

I have been hanging out with a bunch of adventurers. We've gone on adventure runs where we ended up sliding down steep embankments to get to roads and finding secret parks and happening upon beautiful rose gardens.
We've gone to parties where we danced all day and then walked across the city stopping only for peanut butter and jelly fries.
We've caught cherries that were impromptu picked from up high and thrown into waiting baskets (made of t-shirts being worn).

Work has been plentiful but oh, there is so much time in a day. Yesterday I visited the Rhododendron garden and stopped by a vietnamese sandwhich spot and ate green tea and red bean cake. It is good to be young and full of hope and energy.

I hope that you are finding some adventures of your own out there.

Best,
Rachel

Friend Dinner

I am so excited to make this recipe (in approximation, I'm not getting crazy and buying $7 gluten free granola) that I've planned a friend dinner so that I can make it happen without eating them all myself.
Now, I've just got to make the rest of the dinner plans and things can happen.

I love summer time, friend dinners, and planning events so that you can make one dish.

What're your favorite dishes to make with friends?

P.S. I might make this dish too.

Shout outs today to Sprout Health for hooking it up on the recipes.

Waking up late

Boy,

Today and Yesterday, I have woken up at 11am!

I don't know what I've been doing with myself and I tend to think that maybe I'm fighting off allergies a little bit so I need more sleep but compared to my regular wake up time (which is in between 7-8) I've been waking up crazy late. It's kind of a great luxury but it makes me nervous that when I need to wake up early I won't be used to it anymore and won't be able to do it.

It's good I have very little planned for my day so I'm not really behind. I'm just going to start reading my book in a few minutes. This book is one of the reason's I'm waking up late. I keep starting to read it before I go to bed and then not realizing that I should stop reading until about 1 in the morning.

Good News: there are two fairs; The Rose Festival and the Multnomah County Fair, this weekend. So, I'm going to try and hit up at least one of those.

Later!
