...and that is why I am writing now, with the fan still on high.
What I dislike most about days like this, is that my house (1 story, flat roof) warms up inside so much. I was sitting outside earlier, smoking a cigarette, and it was really nice. But when I came back in....blegh. Oh well, there won't be much days like this left this year so I better enjoy the sun and the warmth, right?
The yearly fair has started here. There are attractions everywhere in the city centre, one street is even closed off for traffic! I watched that bit yesterday from the other side of the canal and although there were many gambling tents and scary stuff, I also saw a merry-go-round. I wish I could go sit on a horse once again :)
Today I went to the supermarket and in front of that is a nice size square. Usually. Now there is some sort of scary roller coaster and a kind of vomit-comet that turns 360 degrees in a few directions. The noise is horrible, not just from the attractions but also from the people yelling. I swear, I can hear the screaming here at home!
It was too hot to do much and I wasn't hungry at dinner time even. So I have to admit, I didn't really do much today. I went shopping as I said and I read a lot (reading the Sookie Stackhouse series at the moment, you know, the books TrueBlood was based on) and watched some series on the laptop.
And I started cooking really late, hahaha. I already made the meat yesterday: Ajam Pedis or spicy chicken. But I had to accompany it with some veg and some carbs! I was gonna do stirfried white cabbage and rice but I found a pack of stirfry noodles!
So I chopped an onion and 3 cloves of garlic (sorry but I love garlic!) and put that in my wok with some oil, and when it was getting soft I added the shredded cabbage and stirred it for a while on a high flame. Added some kecap (indonesian soy sauce) and sambal brandal (spicy shit) and the precooked noodles. Ready in about 5 minutes! Finished it off with some sesame seeds.
Have to say: it was deeeeelicious! And of course I have some left so I cut up the Ajam Pedis and mixed it through the noodles and cabbage so it's easier to warm up tomorrow. And I'll add some scrambled egg: whole new meal! I might even pickle some cucumber like the other day when I had my sushi bowl: that was yummy too!
Dan must be coming back from his walk with Loki and I don't have anymore to tell so, have a nice day you all!
Hugz, Anna
