Snowshoes and Brews
It started with a snowshoeing trek with Steve, Ashley, and Will and ended with a trip to June Lake Brewery.
Our goal was to find enough snow to use our snowshoes. We found success up at Virginia Lakes (approx. 9,800 feet). The turnoff for Virginia Lakes is located on highway 395 at the top of Conway Pass (between Lee Vining and Bridgeport). This winter you can drive almost all the way to Big Virginia Lake when most winters the road is closed off close to 395. We only had to hike about a half mile from our car to get to Big Virginia and then we decided to hike across the lake and over the saddle to get to Red Lake.
Lovely Whole Wheat Blueberry Muffins
When I mention whole wheat to some people, they immediately cringe and want nothing to do with the baked goodie offered. To some, whole wheat is a synonym for "grainy and dried out".
Well, I'm here to try and change that misconception! haha. I like baking with whole wheat flour, in fact that's the only kind of flour I have in my pantry.
Lately I've been working on perfecting my whole wheat blueberry muffins and I think they are approaching perfection. Here's the recipe but please note that I'm baking at altitude...
Monster Burgers

| The monster! |
I got home and Kara arrived. We started cooking bacon and slicing tomatoes, avocado, red onion, and romaine for the burgers. Will was the grill master. He got the patties on the grill and after a bit, added blue cheese so it would melt on top.
