This weekend was amazingly fun -- hanged with friends (and I may truly called them friends) and spent all of Sunday recuperating. I gotten to know people that I dismissed too quickly from the beginning and laughed at human antics all the same time. I realized I'm also out of shape and had to be left behind during a rigorous, elevated hike in Mendocino County. I also appreciate the fact that T-mobile have AMAAZING coverage in a rural area like a forest where I could mediate on nature and then gossips about it with friends from the East Coast.
I partied too hard and too quickly, and realized I sucked at 'apples to apples' but did surprisingly well at Beer Pong. I also received my camera in the mail and can't wait to take photobooth outfits of the day to show to... myself. Ha.
For an amaaazing quick hang-over treat (or really, anytime you feel hungry and are busy) -- follow this recipe. Today, I made spinach dip.
10 oz (1 pkge) of frozen spinach (chopped and drained) or use about 1/2 lb of fresh spinach like I did
1 can (5 oz) water chestnuts, chopped
1 envelope of Korr's vegetable soup mix
1 container (16 oz) sour cream
1 cup mayonnaise
green onion (1/2 cup or so)
mix everything together in a bowl. it's super important to make sure that you drained your spinach well. Refridgerate for 2+ hours (the longer the better). Served with bread or tortilla chips.
What else should I do when I'm living in Northern Cali on a volunteer stipend? Against the North Face and Birkenstock population, I'm taking back the Prep!
