A few weekends ago, friend A (the one who likes bugs and Bitcoin), J, and I went hiking at <\/span>Stevens Creek County Park<\/a>. It’s near the mountainous origin of Stevens Creek, which goes down through Cupertino and Mountain View and into the Bay. The creek is dammed up at the park for flood control, I presume (the dam doesn’t appear to have any hydroelectric turbines).<\/p>\n

The trip was nice despite a bad start. Due to a navigation mishap, we took a 1-hour detour up a windy mountain road, only to reach a dead end.<\/p>\n

Afterwards, we got grilling supplies at the local Korean grocery store to make yakiniku<\/a>, Japanese-style Korean grilled meat!<\/p>\n

Beef shortribs, tofu, zucchini, eggplant marinated in Korean BBQ sauce (found in the freezer; recipe<\/a> from Maangchi); shiitake mushrooms. We had kimchi, cold barley tea, and J-made sauce on the side.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In the background of the above picture, you can see a little blue ink bottle, a pen laying on the table, and a big white canister of soylent.<\/p>\n

I got the ink and fountain pen (vintage Esterbrook lever-fill!) from someone on Freecycle, but didn’t like the style of nib. It’s some fancy kind that wasn’t super easy to write with. Fortunately, it wasn’t hard to get rid of \u2013 friend A’s sister is into fountain pens, so the pen and ink are going to her.<\/p>\n

The soylent is leftover from a J attempt to not have to cook. It turns out that soylent tastes like pancake batter (kind of powdery and tasteless), so it was cast aside… and given to A, who doesn’t want to cook either. We’ll see how he likes it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
