Mariko bought a few dozen (did she say six-dozen?) tamales the other day so we had quite a big feast. Along with the barbacoa and puerco tamales, Mariko made a huge salad which made for a wonderful dinner. And the margaritas weren’t bad either. 😄
I hope you had a great day!
Sukiyaki is another great meal for a chilly evening. Cooking at the dinner table is really fun too!
Well, the test of the new tent, sleeping bag, and sleeping pad went well! The temperature dropped to the low 50s but I was nice and warm in the Marmot Trestles 15 sleeping bag. In fact, I was asleep only a few minutes after crawling in. 😊
I’m planning on heading back out to Big Bend National Park next month so I want to see how everything works: setting up the tent, seeing how much space I have in the tent with the pack inside with me, how the zippers/cinch strings on the mummy tent work, etc. After the dry run, I think I have everything worked out, at least for down to 50 degrees. This coming week a cold front will arrive so perhaps I will try out the sleeping bag in colder weather. We’ll see!
またね～
I’ll be testing out the new tent, sleeping bag, and sleeping pad tonight out on the backyard deck. Temperatures should be getting down to the low 50s so not too extreme. Can’t wait! Lani is interested too, but I’m gonna guess she’ll prefer to be inside the warm house. 😆 🐶 ⛺
