Vaca with PK

It has been a fun couple of weeks with Patrick visiting.
First we went to Multnomah falls in the rain.
Before:During:



After:
Later in the trip we made a little spicy pepper jack mac. (see taste for taste)
it was delicioso.
Yes that is grilled asparagus and yes those are ice cold glasses of milk.

Even later I came home from work to a clean apartment and this surprise:
Not to mention a little plate of my favorite sugar cookie bites from paradise bakery. (notice the empty plate)

The trip also included a trail run by the Deschutes River in Bend, watching Naomi perform Speed Boat at her piano recital, and fantastic sushi in Hood River. Let's just say it was a pretty fun time, and PK is a pretty great guy.

While it appears that Patrick's expression did not change, his clothes are noticeably wetter, so I guess that would be an after picture. Looks like a real Portland vacation!

Some people have photo faces, and
some people have mirror faces. And those people are meant to be together.

blanched aparagus: (this is really tracy's recipe)

Boil water.
Have and ice bath ready.
Put in aparagus for like 30 seconds to a minute or until its how you like it.
Quickly put it in the ice bath to stop it from cooking any more.
Eat like popcorn.

Last time I did this I cut the asparagus before I cooked it. seemed to make it easier.
