Yet again, I find myself on the wrong side of easy and amusingly, most of the time I wouldn't have it any other way.Sat, 30 Jul 2016 00:00:00 GMTPersonal Bloghttps://apilgrimslife.com/blog/mount-sawyer-and-fisher-lake/https://apilgrimslife.com/blog/mount-sawyer-and-fisher-lake/This was one hike which looked a fairly easy 9 mile out and back to Fisher Lake, yet ended up with a couple of interesting circumstances extending it to a 12 mile, 6+ hour jaunt. The trailhead of Tonga Ridge puts you high enough that any incline is moderate after the first 1/4 mile and is a pleasing stroll in partial shade, with some consistently beautiful views up to the Mount Sawyer turnoff.Wed, 29 Jun 2016 00:00:00 GMTPersonal Bloghttps://apilgrimslife.com/blog/turtle-rock-hike/https://apilgrimslife.com/blog/turtle-rock-hike/I've been traveling to Las Vegas for a number of years now either for business, or on the way to the Grand Canyon, but I had never explored the absolutely delightful Red Rock Canyon before. Just 13 miles from the strip, this conservation area includes a scenic driving loop, expansive views, beautiful rock formations of reds, whites and browns and a multitude of hikes. As a solitary traveler here for just a few days, I took the bus to the airport from the strip, booked a ridiculously cheap rental ($25 for the day) and headed on out West.Fri, 06 May 2016 00:00:00 GMTPersonal Bloghttps://apilgrimslife.com/blog/vegetarian-sopa-de-lentejas/https://apilgrimslife.com/blog/vegetarian-sopa-de-lentejas/2 Cups Brown LentilsFri, 06 May 2016 00:00:00 GMTRecipeshttps://apilgrimslife.com/blog/45-hours-on-amtrak/https://apilgrimslife.com/blog/45-hours-on-amtrak/"It's _so_ much better than flying," or so I'd overheard on a few occasions. Just how valid could that statement be, against a trip that was the same cost of flying but took almost forty hours longer? This, I needed to find out.Tue, 25 May 2010 00:00:00 GMTPersonal Bloghttps://apilgrimslife.com/blog/fennel-apple-bisque/https://apilgrimslife.com/blog/fennel-apple-bisque/1.5lb Fennel bulbs.Mon, 19 Oct 2009 00:00:00 GMTRecipeshttps://apilgrimslife.com/blog/potato-leek-soup/https://apilgrimslife.com/blog/potato-leek-soup/2lb Leeks - sliced, cleaned and dark green sections removedSat, 10 Oct 2009 00:00:00 GMTRecipeshttps://apilgrimslife.com/blog/chicken-tikka-masala/https://apilgrimslife.com/blog/chicken-tikka-masala/1 Cup YogurtFri, 09 Oct 2009 00:00:00 GMTRecipeshttps://apilgrimslife.com/blog/naan/https://apilgrimslife.com/blog/naan/150ml Warm Milk.Fri, 09 Oct 2009 00:00:00 GMTRecipeshttps://apilgrimslife.com/blog/crustless-mexican-quiche/https://apilgrimslife.com/blog/crustless-mexican-quiche/0.5lbs Hot Pork Sausage (preferrably chorizo) - slicedMon, 17 Mar 2008 00:00:00 GMTRecipes
