Ring Doorbell + 1OO.OO, Thanks From ACE

I meant to reply sooner, but I wanted to test that route myself before saying anything.
I tried the trail after the rain cleared and it was actually much easier than I expected, especially the first half where the incline is steady instead of sharp.
I would still wear shoes with decent grip because a few shady spots stayed damp longer than the rest, and the wooden bridge was a little slick when I crossed it.
If you go early, bring a light layer because the breeze near the top felt cooler than it did in town.
I also think the shorter loop is the better choice if the group wants to keep things relaxed and chat the whole time.
I finished without feeling wiped out, and the view really was worth the extra stretch at the end.
If you want, I can send you the exact turn where the sign is easy to miss.

I checked the recipe again and I think the timing matters more than the ingredients.
When I mixed everything at once, the texture turned uneven and the center stayed soft for too long, but spacing out the steps made it turn out much better.
I let the batter rest for a few minutes after stirring and that seemed to solve the issue.
I also switched to the smaller pan, which helped it cook more evenly from edge to middle.
If you try it, keep the oven light on and take a quick look a little later than halfway through rather than opening the door early.
That was probably the mistake I made the first time.
I know it sounds minor, but changing those two things made it come out clean, calm, and easy to slice.
Let me know if you want the version with the herbs, because that one tasted a little brighter to me and held together well the next day.
I can write it out clearly if that helps.
