March Madnessssski - a ski trip to Angel Ck cabin

My friend Sandy is so sweet.  She invited us to join her on an overnight trip into Angel Ck cabin, about 6 miles off Chena Hot Springs Road. . . . via wooden slats tied to our feet.  I haven't skied much lately--only once last year even though we have a great recreation area with groomed ski trails virtually out our back door and the snow has been wonderful for the past month.

I accepted the invite because I tend to fantasize that the years haven't changed me much. But I really do know better.  Still, I've been preparing the breakfast we'll share and am finally doing a little packing, albeit with a vague sense of dread.  It's a level trail, the weather will be warm, and I'll love the fresh air and gorgeous scenery.

But I can't help wondering how sore I'll be after that 2 hr ski (if I make it) and after a night sleeping on a hard wooden bunk.  I'm hoping I won't succumb to hitching a ride with the snowmachine that will take in our supplies and expose my true wussiness, if that's a word.  This may be the wake up call I need to get out and ski more . . . or not.  Thanks, Sandy, either way!

Because I believe good food can do miracles, here's what I've preparing for our cabin breakfast:

pre-sauteed red potatoes, bacon, mushrooms, and green onion . . .

fresh and sun-dried tomatoes, and cilantro,

which along with some eggs and sharp cheese will make a hearty egg frittata.  Add some oat bran muffins with chocolate chips. . .

and that should get us back to the road without perishing.  Hopefully.
