camping, day 2

The lake was amazing:

It warmed up in the afternoon and we went for a quick swim.

Camping, day 1

We finally got around to going camping this year. Destination: Ross Lake. The weather had been iffy all day, and we went through a series of spectacular sunshine, pouring rain and everything in between. This was on highway 1 somewhere near Chilliwack:

The last 50km of the trip was on this dirt road, and in the rain dirt turns into mud:

Having braved the mosquitoes, set up the tarp in the rain and cooked some dinner despite the miserable weather, it cleared up and we were greeted by a beautiful sunset:

egg and tofu curry

A glimpse into my bachelor life: cooking around midnight for next day's lunch :)

If I ever turned vegetarian, I'd be making this a lot. Actually, I make this a lot anyway haha.

It's really easy:

- Chop onions and some garlic

- Fry in pan with olive oil; add some salt. Wait until brown

- Add some water, and potatos and carrot

- Simmer *

- Add Japanese curry cube (e.g. Glico) *

- Add tofu, cooked egg and green veggies near the end; simmer a bit more *

*during these steps I kinda add more water as it dries up to maintain the right amount of moisture. Thats what happens when you don't follow recipes :P

Along side, I steam some plain rice with a dash of butter.

Cute card :)

Received this lovely card from the lovely ASM's of Singin' in the Rain. I generally don't edit photos (even cropping is rarely done), but this is just too cute :)

Thanks Belle, Izzy, Melanie and Tanya!!!
