Use your CVS points today before they expire (458.25)

I looked at the trail map again this morning and I still think the shorter route makes more sense for us.
It starts near the picnic area, passes the little footbridge, and loops back before the steeper climb gets tiring.
I am happy to leave earlier if that helps, because the path will probably be quieter and the air feels better before midday.
I can bring extra water, fruit, and that blanket that folds up really small, so you do not need to carry much.
If the weather shifts, we can always stop at the café nearby and turn it into a slow walk instead.
I also remembered the bench you liked near the tall trees, so maybe we pause there for a bit and just enjoy the view.
Let me know what shoes you are planning to wear so I can match the pace and keep it comfortable.

I meant to get back to you sooner, but I wanted to try that bread recipe first so I could give you a real answer.
The dough turned out best when I let it rest longer than the instructions suggested, and shaping it with damp hands made everything easier.
I used a deeper dish the second time, and the edges came out softer while the top still had that crisp texture you described.
You were also right about adding herbs at the end instead of the beginning.
The flavor stayed brighter and the whole kitchen smelled amazing without being overpowering.
I can write out the exact steps I followed if you want something simple to save for later.
Also, if you come by this weekend, I will make another loaf and we can compare notes while it cools on the counter and pretend we know what we are doing.
