Saying Good-bye to the Garden

The Old Man decided that we needed to pack up the trailers and get a taste of our future. So we loaded a bunch of gear and headed out to Big 5 for socks and Nalgene bottles. We had a pleasant stop at Jack in the Box for Cougina's breakfast. This soon inspired a cooking creation, knowing that too soon I may be delighted to find available fast food.

It sure is nice to out for a little ride, feel hungry, and stop on the way in the front door to pick a few things from the garden.

(The squash in the photo really did climb a cactus and grow upside down.)

I sauted a butternut squash, an onion, a couple of mildly hot Hatch style peppers, salt, and dried red pepper, in olive oil, and added diced parsley, oregano, and a tomato near the end.  Mmmm... Too hot for the C man, though.

Cougina said that we did 20 miles, but when we got home and checked, Google maps said it was 5.0 miles. Cougina now says it felt like 30. That's perfect - 30 miles per day will get us to Houston on time :)
