• Temper(ature)s rising

  Today was pretty humid. It made for some discomfort which was demonstrated in rising tempers. We tried to cool off a bit by running to the local mart. It felt nice in there, but because it is a small place we could not stay forever. We came home with Popsicles.
  While Maya napped, I practiced my viola. Even doing that resulted in being drenched in sweat.
  I was able to try out a couple of new recipes, and I am sure glad I did. For lunch, we had a taco salad that included lime and avocado. It was a nice and refreshing touch to this day. For dinner, I made an Asian shrimp pilaf that included freshly grated carrots, diced red peppers, scallions, peanuts, and a sauce of honey, sesame oil, and soy. The dish had a nice crunch to it and also was refreshing. I planned on serving with just watermelon, but I happened to see something on the net today and also had kiwi and bananas on hand. A little food play was is order. The kids surprised me; especially Tomo, started jumping about with excitement with my fruit display. It was a nice and delicious way to end a long day.
