Suddenly, it seems like summer is almost over. We haven't had the aircon for a number of days, and I wore a shirt for the first time in quite some time. Still haven't worn socks since late June though, so that's something.
Leftovers for lunch; girls finished off the mapo tofu and rice. I packed them a tomato and feta salad with lemon and olive oil dressing. I also gave them a small wrapped package of the chili sauce which they awed everyone with at school. For me, the few remaining slices of bread and olive oil with the rest of the feta and tomato was enough for most of the day as I was busy attacking the basement. It has been mocking me of late with its half open boxes but I think I have the measure of it now. Tomorrow I will be on it like the proverbial fat kid on a doughnut.
Gave some thought for tomorrow's meal. Details tomorrow.
We all went to our local HK-style restaurant, the Phoenix. I must say, their milk tea is surprisingly good. I had Malaysian curry brisket which lacked the subtlety, complexity and heat of Malaysian; the girls ate noodles (no surprise there). Milo and bubble tea rounded out their respective meals.
Came back home and ate fruit. I am seeing more and more punnets of Ontario fruit at the supermarket. We got a punnet of nectarines for $ 2.99 and one of plums for $ 2.99. A medium-ish seedless watermelon for $ 4.99 seemed a bit pricy but that was all they had. Perhaps it is coming to the end of the season ... The girls picked out some USA Pink Cripps apples. Hope they are not gang-related!
A bit of a downer. My usual yoghurt, Astro's Balkan style, was all sold out, so I was forced to take a different one. Verdict: a distant second place to Astro's Balkan style. I am beginning to think that Astro's Balkan style is the Tiger Woods of yoghurt. No, wait, the Lance Armstrong of yoghurt. No, that won't work either. Either way, this one is like the England 2010 World Cup team: weak and disappointing. It may be tolerable if I strain it overnight.
