The Goods Are Odd

This is to acknowledge the space that you will experience between the last article and the next. I have many intended posts to share but a quick week in the woods and the preparation thereof is keeping me for a bit of time. The trip this week is to prepare for a Long Walk to Portland Oregon from Berkeley CA. I expect a good amount of discussion here over the next few months to be about eating well in a way you can carry across states. Planning for this week’s trip has been interesting already because eating and backpacking is so efficient. You need to work out how much caloric intake (plus nutrients, and I think flavor and variety) you need with how much you can actually carry. What if everyday eating had this balance process?

We are trying to make sure to carry a manageable weight for five days but still get the nutrients we need from active food. One of the ways we are doing this is soaked and dried nuts. These have released their sprout inhibitors and made their nutrients more accessible and abundant to us. But then they are dried at a low enough temp to not be wet and not have had all the good stuff cooked out.

So hold tight until then and be well!

Also! Lots of sourdough activity happening around here to share, as well as thoughts about experimentation versus getting good at what you know and like.
