Foraging


Last Monday I went foraging with a my banquet chef and his friend who is a sous chef for the Palace Ballroom. It was so much fun and rewarding to forage and hunt for your own food! We were just past Emunclaw near Yakima. I would love to give you directions but they were just shy of blindfolding me and sticking me in the trunk until we showed up to the "location". Here is a picture of what a Chantrelle mushroom looks like. I brought home about 15 lbs! Anyone want a mushroom?
Not only was it rewarding and fun it was scary as hell! I was lost in the Forest for about an hour and a half. No! I did not cry :)

5K Update.... I didn't die...

I finished the 5K in just about 29 minutes. It isn't a fantastic time but considering I have not worked out as much as I wanted to before hand, I am very happy! Below is a video of the 5K finish. I am the one who the white shirt around her waste. Isn't Darryl a great camera man?
