jamie made a tasty rice salad today. it had kalamata olives, sundried tomatoes, some cilantro, feta, avocado, cracked pepper, vinegar, wine, and some other stuff mixed with rice. grilled eggplant sliced 1/2" thin, brushed with olive oil and sprinkled with salt is really simple and tasty. i made a rather tasty drink the other day. albertson's fizzy canned fruit punch with a ton of crushed ice and lotsa strawberries sliced into it. no alcohol in it, but i'm sure it'd make a nice mixed drink with southern comfort or flavored vodka. or whatever alcohol ppl use for something like that. rum?
friday was soma in ramona. i haven't had chocolate cake for breakfast in years. when i was little, my mom wouldn't buy me sugar cereals like cookie crisp. so for the first time in my life, i tried some. so disappointing. it tastes like captain crunch, not cookies. good junk, good company, and that semi-desert dry that i missed so much. the scrub is just different down here. and much too humid and cool. i miss the blazing dog days of summer. i almost forgot that day we had a waterfight at claire's. can't, musn't forget. memories are a double edged sword. they take attention away from the present, but let you hold onto happiness from the past. i want to live in a semi-rural area at least once in my life. city life jsut isn't that appealing.
just got back from being lost in downtown and dropping off qqq and my two little cousins from HK at the train station. one of them is like.. dealing with an ADD macaque on speed. it reminds me of my own trip when i was their age. i was a kid once--moreso than now, of course. i'm not that far away, but still, we all know how much i love kids. no mercy. it's really weird having to make decisions for someone else. one funny thing though.. i was buying some fresh corn in the market when one of them asked what it was, and it it was cooked. they'd never seen corn still in the husk uncooked. their previous exposure was KFC. all they really wanted to do was eat hotdogs and mcdonalds. double ew. it was hard enough finding a place that sold hotdogs, rather than having to buy a pack to grill meself. it was refreshing to not be able to find a mcdonald's in downtown. my grandma sent us a suitcase filled with instant noodles. she believes that there's no food here. which i just don't understand b/c when we went over and ate out, two american kids had to explain food that they ate all the time? i don't understand.
