Today

Started out nice. DH took me out to Smitty's Pancake House for breakfast and it isn't even my birthday. On the way home we stopped at Safeway for some groceries and then he spent the afternoon napping and reading and I knit in the cool basement. We skipped lunch due to overindulging at breafast, had a small snack mid-afternoon and a salad of lettuce, tomatoe, carrots, green onions and cottage cheese for dinner. Looks like today is going to end nice too.
It's been so hot here lately. It's after 6:00 PM but it's 35C/95 F. Tomorrow and Tuesday it's supposed to be 34C/93 F, Wednesday 27C/80 F and Thursday 22C/72 F. I'm so glad it's going to cool off for Thursday. I'm expecting company and I had visions of us all wilting in our seats with no energy to chat. If the weatherman isn't just teasing me we can sit out on the deck with our iced teas.

We just returned to the island after a few days socializing in the city. The house has been all shut up with all the blinds drawn but the inside temperature was 29 degrees. The apartment in the city was HOT too, so I'm looking forward to a cooling spell as well. We head to Calif. on Friday and it was only 20 degrees in San Francisco yesterday. Wilt. Wilt.

I was wondering where you've been?
Doesn't seem right that to cool off you have to head South.

I too almost had pancakes today, pretended I was at Smitty's, and popped 2 Eggo's in the toaster. Unfortunately I had not refrigerated the last of my real maple syrup, and it had turned black, so pancake and syrup ended up in the garbage, too bad.

I too threw out a bottle of real maple syrup because it had grown mold on the top. That was before I noticed the "refrigerate after opening" notice. I have since found out that you can just scoop out the mold and boil the syrup for 10 minutes to make it good as new. Most people don't even do the boil part. It's like cheese. Get rid of the mold and it's perfectly edible.
Next time, if you don't have any syrup just spread some butter and honey or jam on it. That's good too.

We could sure use some rain. Today's forecast: 35C/95F although, it should start cooling down in a few days. Did you get your pancakes?

Sounds like a nice relaxing day. Nosey question: who's visiting - anyone I know?

I too like pancakes for breakfast and it's a rare treat when we do this. And I don't have lunch that day. Have a lovely time with your company.

I couldn't even finish the pancakes.
