Hi,
Today we experienced two ‘small rains’ in one day. In some parts of town it was blazing hot, in others, overcast with eventual showers. Things got wet, the van needs a bath, and the pool is a little cooler. Season change?
The ‘Easy Monday’ song was “A Hard Days Night” by The Beatles. For this week’s ‘Zany Day’ song, I’m giving you the chorus first, just to whet your appetite. “Oh yeah, in the daytime I’m Mr. Natural, just as healthy as I can be, but at night I’m a __ __ __, good Lord have pity on me.” Hint: There is a kind of food involved.
We managed to hit all three of our major food shopping venues before lunch. It helps to get an early start, although it’s not like we beat any crowds at Makro. Since it is a supply depot for lots of mom and pop stores, people show up very early so they can stock their little stores. Around this time every year there seems to be a shortage of celery. This might not seem like a big deal, but it’s an ingredient in the ‘Five Juice Drink’ that Blue and Lisa have every morning. Today we scored some healthy stalks at Big C. It seems that we can never get everything we need at one store, hence the tour. The Health Market was the final stop for fruit and more veggies.
Coconut flour bread has been a regular menu item here at The Big Brown House for quite a few months now and we all enjoy it. It is different than baking with a grain flour and Lisa and Natcha had it down to a science. When we received a recent supply they discovered that it behaved differently. The flour is finer than earlier batches and experimentation has begun to find that perfect blend of ingredients. The adventure continues.
This afternoon in the pool, we talked about what to eat on the airplane when we come to the states. For me, there is no choice but to munch on things from home. My 27 hour menu will consist of coconut flour bread and brownies, occasional raw nuts, and possibly some pear sauce. It will certainly beat some of the concoctions that the airline serves.
The big artistic news is that Lisa has begun a wall painting above our bed. Hanging a painting above a bed is never a good idea, especially where there is the possibility of earthquakes. You will see it when it’s finished. Based on the early work, it will be like sleeping under a beautiful tree.
When Blue and I went to the plastic store next to Healthy Market, we encountered a pair of parrots getting some sun. One of them looked up at me and seemed to pose. His owner told us he’s too young to talk. We’ll be waiting (555).
It feels like a Wacky Wednesday.
Peace,
Danny
