Pig Roast
Last saturday I had the privilege of cooking for the Brown's First Annual Pig Roast out at their Cabin in Hope. Having two days of prep done already, the big day was mainly focused on getting a beautiful slow roast going.
630am - Start fire, score skin, slather meat with salsa verde, roll, tie, begin roast.
After a relaxing day of taking care of the fire, finishing off last minute jobs and hanging out with some of my best friends we got to eat! Porchetta, carrot slaw, shredded potato salad, charred corn, grilled stonefruit and carmamelized honey yoghurt. Simple summer food.
Tough Mudder @ Whistler
My final weekend before my trip was spent up in Whistler with some of my closest friends. A slightly frantic friday morning led to a smooth afternoon ride to our hotel in the village. The energy in the town was amazing, everybody was stoked for mudder and it was an intoxicating environment to be in. Saturday led to a relaxing afternoon at Lost Lake, which isn't exactly the correct name for it considering the two gigantic signs, the road named after it, and the golf course next door.. A quick (and ridiculously cheap) dinner at The Warehouse followed by lounging in the hotel hot tub set the stage for Sunday.
7am wake up. Breakfast. Check out. Drive to Mudder. Sign in. Face paint. Take photos. Get into corrals. Hoo-rah x 25. Start.
Tough Mudder was a rocky, muddy, physically demanding 19km obstacle course. The obstacles themselves were simple and extremely fun. Highlights include destroying Levi during the "Mud Mile" - A series of mud filled slippery trenches, beasting through "Devil's Beard" heavy mesh rope that you have to scurry underneath with Spence and last but not least, the Beer & Protein bar awaiting my arrival at the finish line! Mudder was quite a rewarding race but not for the usual reasons, but because of the energetic sense of community between the mudders and because I was able to cross off another item off my bucketlist with the help of four close friends!
Departure
I leave for my trip in 9.5 hours, first stop in Seattle to catch my flight to New York City. It's such a surreal knowing that I won't be back home in Vancouver anytime soon, trading my Pacific ocean and Rocky mountains for the Atlantic ocean and the Andes. Currently I'm doing laundry, photocopying vital documents, packing my travel backpack, packing everything else into moving boxes and trying to figure out what I'm doing with my life. See ya in NYC!
