august 5, 2012 breakfast

breakfast as we tear down camp is a scramble of everything we have left: eggs, ham, mushrooms, zucchini, onions and avocado.

we do a short hike from sunrise, getting a taste of the other side of the mountain..

the view from the ridge is breathtaking, but swarms of mosquitos are mobilizing, so we keep marching.

this clark's nutcracker is keeping pace with us along the trail.

july 28, 2012 dinner

oysters on the grill! dinner at my dad and stepmom's, out on their deck.

a pretty plateful of sirloin steak, lamb heart, japanese eggplant, caulliflower, mushrooms, heirloom tomatoes and blueberries. the veggies were basted in garlic oil and i wanted more of them. i only had a nibble of the heart (not feeling lamby) and half the steak.

saved room for my stepmom's homemade blueberry ice cream, made with fresh blueberries, coconut and rice milk. perfect!

july 3, 2012 breakfast

breakfast is an experimental frittata with bacon, spinach, roasted tomatoes, roasted garlic, mushrooms, and green onions. i think it turned out quite well! on the side is leftover roasted broccoli, with garlic and red pepper flakes. tasty!

july 1, 2012 breakfast

crabbing season opens today, and as we were packing up, the campground was filling up with people rolling in with boats and crab pots, or just settling down for the fourth of july fireworks show in a few days. i whipped up a quick scramble of eggs, bacon, broccoli, mushrooms, orange bell pepper, onion, garlic and scallions. farewell to our favorite campsite here at sequim bay, 81. it is small, and doesn't have the most privacy, but the views out to sequim bay and north to dungeness bay and dungeness spit, with its lighthouse, and cargo ships passing through the strait of juan de fuca beyond that.. well, it is always too soon to leave.

june 30, 2012 breakfast

after a refreshing night's sleep (sleeping to the sound of rain is so relaxing), we rose and cooked breakfast. i didn't have a plan, but we'd packed just about every vegetable in our fridge (hence my friday meal challenge!), so i made an omelet filling of bacon, onions, yellow bell pepper, zucchini, and mushrooms, and somehow managed to cram it into a three-egg omelet cooked in grass-fed butter. oh yeah, and i mashed up some avocado and spread some of that inside as well. i sprinkled plenty of green onions on top.. and then realized i'd forgotten to add the garlic i'd minced. oh well, i'm sure we'll use it tonight!
