Summer continues to throw its last hurrah and we're due for a week or more of mid-to-high 80s. Doors remain open during the day and the ceiling fan whirls. We're in the grip of the fall doldrums. Just a week ago I was freezing. Thankfully it does cool off some at night.
My ambition fades along with the breeze and not much gets done around here. Having discovered frozen potstickers and spring rolls, I haven't done any real cooking for days. Ten minutes or so and there's something hot and (relatively) nutritious for dinner. Both items come with packets of dipping sauce, but I prefer mae ploy sweet chili and always keep a bottle on hand. I was introduced to this sauce back in the day when the Filipino women at work would show their affection for Steve, the production manager, by occasionally sending home dozens of delicious lumpia and a bottle of mae ploy. The frozen spring rolls can't hold a candle to the homemade lumpia, but they bring back good memories just the same.
Weather notwithstanding, having sat like a lump (not a lumpia) I've got to get a grip and get something accomplished today.
There's a piglet in the shower stall.
