Gee, it’s good to be back home again. Sometimes this old town feels like a long-lost friend…
Welp, I’m back to my bar routines, including the Sunday feeding at Hideaway.
The girls surprised me because they all wanted a trinket (refrigerator magnet) over the snacks I brought as pasalubong. The most expensive item was a carton of strawberries, which was still there when bartender Rolan, the last to choose, made his selection. I guess I know what to buy next time. Anyway, they all got two items, so I didn’t have to carry anything home, at least.
Josh joined us a bit later, and he seemed to enjoy Mhel’s company and backrub, as demonstrated by his buying her multiple lady drinks. When the time came to move on, Josh joined for a nightcap at Sloppy Joe’s. He was back there this morning watching the super bowl and enjoying a cigar when I walked past.
My night ended with this:
I mentioned in yesterday’s post that I had hugged a tree as I hiked the forest trail in Baguio on Saturday. I saw a Hasher had caught the moment on film camera and posted it on Facebook.
Someone also posted a YouTube video featuring highlights from the Hash. It’s kinda cool to see the trail in motion; give it a watch if you are so inclined.
Another Subic Hash run is coming up this afternoon; I hope it goes as well as it did on Saturday. Only one way to find out. I’ll let you know all about it tomorrow.
What’s your recipe for strawberry smoothies? And does it involve measuring?
Good luck with today’s Hash.
I finally watched the video. It does add to the experience. Very nice. Thanks for embedding that.
Kev, glad you liked the video.
I don’t know if it qualifies as a recipe–I just put some fruit in the blender, add a scoop or two of ice cream, and pour in some milk. I don’t measure; just eyeball it. I like mine to be on the thick side but still easily poured. I used a carton of those fresh strawberries Sunday night and didn’t put in any other fruit so I could enjoy that strawberry taste. Normally, I’ll have banana and mango in the mix.
McCrarey, stop trying to screw that tree. Probably virgin timber. Peace Out!
It had a knothole…
Nice to see you back, Soju. It’s been a while.
