Great hike today in Peter’s Canyon with my wife @delifefull_. The lake here is really just a patch of dirt and an irrelevant dam. I know there is a proposition on the ballot where LA politicians are claiming that Northern California’s are trying to weild control over “local” control of their water resources. But this is EXACTLY what LA has been doing to the rest of the state. It’s a perfect example of why we should split California into at least three states. If LA had to pay for their water, 30% of it might not be wasted on landscaping. Anyway, sad to see the lake be dry regardless. #travellocal #hike #delifefull #outplanettravel #orangecountyca #orangeca

The sunrise is one of the best parts of the morning. This morning I was blessed with some time to go out to breakfast with my wife @delifefull_ for a morning date. I love her! On my way in to work I got to see this amazing sun poking through the clouds. The moisture and smog in the air reflected the rays piercing through the atmosphere on their way to Earth. It felt like the eye of God was looking through the clouds. When I remember that my time here is about my relationship with Him, and not about my day-to-day, I’m more able to remain focused and see each day, my relationships, and my works for what they are – blessings from El Elohim, and praise to my Adonai! #jesus #sunrise #delifefull #god #travellocal #travelspiritually #outplanettravel

RECIPE BELOW: Patacones! Ok @ticobavaro I followed your directions for patacones! I listed what I did (right or wrong) below. I went to La Carreta Supermarket in Orange, CA on Chapman. They have great deals on produce, and it’s my hook up for plantains on the regular. I prepped the plantains as I usually do, by cutting off the ends, running a slit down the husk with the knife, and peeling it off with my fingers. Once peeled, I cut the plantains into four roughly equal parts. I laid them on their sides to fry. This seemed to make sense to me because it got more of the plantain in the avocado oil – healthy fat and fairly stable cooking oil. Ifried them for three minutes on each side. Once done I stood them up on my cutting board which I covered with some parchment paper. The smashing part was tricky ’cause these guys were ‘effin H-O-T!! So… I took another small piece of parchment paper, my spatula (for a firm flat smash), and a folded paper towel (as an insulator from the heat). Generally it was easy and they smashed right down! Finally, fruits of my labor! Delicious! Thanks again for the tip @ticobavaro and Pura Vida!! #delicious #deliciousfood #plantain #patacones #recipe #costarica #puravida #travel #travellocal #outplanettravel #ticobavaro
