July 13th 2016 - Larchwood Lake and dinner with a new friend.

July 13th - Larchwood

Wednesday and Ray's too sore even to fish and we're leaving tomorrow. We invited the site operator over for dinner, so he could show me how to make pasta. Paul used to own a business produceing fresh pasta they shipped from Nelson to Calgary restaurants. Of course he used to make it in 15 kg batches ... kind of a lot for us! I have the equipment and he the knowledge so after a before dinner bevy to bolster us up, we began. I must say my mix master is awesome again. Paul made beautiful semolina fettuccine and then he made a flavourfull curry cream sauce with garlic, chicken and prawns ... YUM! Thanks a million Paul, we enjoyed every bite. I now know the right texture and ingredients.

The chefs

We packed up earlier in the day between sprinkles, so isn't too bad leaving Thursday morning. It started to pour yesterday afternoon, so we're glad everything is tucked away so we didn't have to deal with wet items in the morning. Since being on Mountain Time and with the weather so rainy we have been sleeping in to 8 am!!!! Needless to say, its a slow start and we didn't get going until 10:30 am. Unfortunately, after several attempts at fishing, Ray only experienced one nibble, so hopefully the next opportunity for fishing is better.  Our next destination is Golden.
