Recent Costco Visit? Thanks - Meat Box Special
Walmart is swapping your points for a 1OO card today
I was telling my neighbor about that new walking trail we tried last weekend. She's been looking for a place to take her dog that isn't too crowded. I mentioned how the path winds along the creek for about a mile before opening into a meadow with wildflowers. She seemed really excited to try it out. We also talked about the community garden project starting next month. I think it's great that they're setting up raised beds for people who don't have yard space. I volunteered to help with the compost station on Saturdays. It should be fun to get my hands dirty again and meet some new people in the neighborhood. Anyway, I promised to send her the trail map link, so I need to remember to do that later today.

Points Expiring Today: Walmart (+1,456.00) - Yours
I ended up going to that little bookstore on Elm Street you mentioned last week. It was charming in a slightly chaotic way — stacks of paperbacks everywhere and the owner had a cat sleeping on the counter. I asked the owner for a recommendation and he handed me something I'd never heard of called The Starless Sea. I'm only about fifty pages in but the prose is gorgeous so far. He also pointed me to a used copy of Piranesi which I grabbed because I've heard the name but never read it. The whole place smelled like old paper and coffee and there was a corner with a creaky armchair that felt like it was waiting for someone to sit and read all afternoon. I think you'd really like the vibe. Anyway I just wanted to say thanks for the tip — I'll probably go back this weekend to browse more.
We should grab lunch soon and I can tell you more about it. Let me know what your schedule looks like next week. I'm free Tuesday and Thursday after noon.

I finally tried that fermentation project I kept talking about. I started with a simple batch of sauerkraut because I figured cabbage is forgiving. Shredded it all up with a mandoline — nearly took a fingertip off in the process so lesson learned there. Packed it into a big jar with salt and caraway seeds and I've been watching it bubble for the last four days. The smell is honestly pretty intense but in a pleasant sour kind of way. I also started a small batch of kombucha using a starter I got from a friend. It's sitting on my counter looking like a science experiment with the SCOBY floating on top. I'm not entirely sure I'm doing it right but supposedly it's hard to mess up. My kitchen is starting to look like a tiny biology lab. I'll let you know how the kraut tastes when it's ready — if it's good I'll bring you a jar. Also I think I need to buy more jars because this is getting out of hand.

Yeah, you should definitely check out the Eagle Ridge trail. I went last Saturday and it was amazing. The wildflowers are in full bloom right now and the view from the top is incredible. I started around 7am and it took me about three hours to reach the summit. There's this one section where you climb through this narrow canyon and then suddenly it opens up to this huge vista. I brought my camera but honestly the photos don't do it justice. The trail is well marked and not too crowded if you go early. There's a stream about halfway up where you can refill water bottles. I saw a couple of deer on the way down too. Let me know if you want me to send you the AllTrails link. nbBq4UFcMib We should plan another trip soon before the weather changes. The parking lot was full by the time I came down around eleven, so arriving early really helped. I also met a friendly couple who recommended trying the northern loop next time. I think this might become my new regular weekend spot.

I tried making sourdough from scratch this week and it actually worked. I've been attempting it for months and finally got a good rise. The trick was feeding the starter more regularly and keeping it in a warmer spot. I used a simple recipe with just flour, water, salt, and the starter. The crust came out perfectly crispy and the inside was soft with those nice airy pockets. My family ate half the loaf before it even cooled down. I'm going to try adding some herbs next time like rosemary and sea salt. The whole process takes about three days from start to finish but most of that is just waiting. If you want I can share the recipe I used. It's surprisingly satisfying to make your own bread. The kitchen smelled incredible while it was baking. I also learned that using a cast iron dutch oven makes a huge difference for the crust texture. Let me know if you try it.

Today Only, Lowes provides a Kobalt-100 Piece Tool Set, 5OO Left
yeah i finally made it out to that new place on elm street this weekend. honestly the wait was totally worth it and the weather was perfect for sitting outside. 5YJMrroP8P3uWed i just wish they had more vegetarian options on the main menu because there were only a couple of things i could really eat. the pasta was good but i think i would try the salad next time. my friend said the burger was incredible so that might be a solid pick if you go. anyway let me know what you want to do next weekend i am open to pretty much anything as long as it is not too crowded. i have been needing a break from all the noise lately. we could even just do a movie night if planning feels like too much work. just throw some ideas my way and we will figure it out. hope you are having a good week so far.

Are your Verizon point expiring soon?

Hi, thanks for the recipe. I tried it last night and it turned out great. The only change I made was adding a bit more garlic because I love garlic. The sauce was perfect, thick and flavorful. I served it with some crusty bread and a side salad. The whole family loved it, even the kids. I'll definitely make it again. Let me know if you have any other recommendations. I've been wanting to try that Moroccan dish you mentioned last month. If you have the recipe, send it over! Also, are you free for dinner this weekend? We could try cooking together.

About the garage organization project I finally got around to sorting through all those boxes like you suggested. It took longer than I expected but I managed to separate everything into categories and labeled each bin clearly. The shelving unit you recommended worked really well and I was able to fit all the seasonal decorations up top. I still need to figure out a better system for the tools though. I was thinking of getting a pegboard for the wall so everything is visible and easy to grab. Do you have any recommendations for hooks and organizers that hold up well? Also I found some old photo albums that I'd forgotten about which was a nice surprise. Overall it feels much more manageable now and I can actually park my car in the garage again. Next weekend I plan to tackle the workbench area and maybe install some additional lighting. I'll send you some photos once it's all done so you can see the progress.
I also came across a few old paint cans that I need to dispose of properly. Do you know if the local recycling center takes those or is there a special drop off day for household chemicals?
