Fried Eggs Anyone?

I just finished posting on Loretta's note that we could fry eggs on the pavement today if we wanted to. In Farenheit temperatrure, we're in the triple digits. I can say I remember summers when in July we had 45 ยบ C almost every day. Hope that's not the case although the weather experts have predicted a hotter than usual summer. Instead of frying eggs outside, I think Lilly has a better idea. Looks like two buckets are better than a plastic pool, at least for her.

Speaking of food, a couple of weeks ago my friend Chris ordered a noodle dish that we hadn't tried before. She doesn't like thick or fat pasta like spaghetti, but she likes the Japanese kind. The dish had shrimp in it, which I didn't eat because I'm allergic to most seafood. I thought I could eat some of the noodles but apparently not. The next morning I woke up with an allergic reaction. I suppose really I should have known better.

This coming week is my last week with the kids. I am so glad because I'm tired of going out when the sun is the hottest. You know what they say about mad dogs and Englishmen - in my case it's English teachers. One of my students has passed her university entrance exams; the other one I haven't heard from yet. Two of them are going to be doing a course in Ireland and will be leaving next Sunday. I hope they have a good experience. These are the kids whose family was kind enough to take my nephew to the beach with them last summer.

Well, I'm going to save this in case I lose the text like what happened to Loretta. Do you remember when things worked well on Multiply? Now new features are for the online sellers. Anyway, I hope everybody has a good last week of June.

  1. If you ate the noodles served with the shrimp, that may be why you had a reaction. I like oriental noodles as well, my favorite are the Thai noodles, try them.

    As far as eggs on the sidewalk weather, most of late May and all of June have been like that. August is our hottest month and we just had four weeks of an August preview of triple digits.

  5. We just went through a bout of triple digit, but that is normal for where I live. Lilly has the right idea, stay cool. Water play and children go together like peas and carrots.
    I'm glad you are okay after risking you life by eating shrimp-tainted soba noodles.
