Cathy purchased some tasty edibles from a WI farmers' market over the weekend, including some green onions I used to make green onion flatbread - a basic but classic Chinese dish. It's straightforward to make, requiring little more than flour, water, and a bit of patience. I say patience because properly made flatbread requires maybe an hour's worth of sitting around to allow the dough to rest (twice). But it's totally worth it.
Had a nice July 4th weekend, hope you did too. Our time was evenly split between partying at Nick's and relaxing at the parents. As always, good times were had all around.
These days I'm a little bummed I haven't done any real hiking trips this season, but hopefully that will be remedied soon. At the least, I'm planning on getting out to good ol' North Manitou Island for a long weekend in August. It's a tiny little place, maybe 20-25 square miles, but it has incredibly good bang for the buck and offers some classic Michigan hiking. Actually, South Manitou is where I took my first serious backpacking trip at the tender age of 14 and annual summer trips followed for years. I haven't been there in quite some time so I'm pumped to go back. Anyway, enough pontification - I'm going outside to play.
