The Frozen Tundra of San Diego

Because the weather girls on channel six (which is a Fox channel, btw) have predicted a heat wave, it is NOW absurdly cold. It is June, my dear readers-and as I sit here at my computer in my jammy bottoms and topless, I am frozen solid. I shall have to put on a jammy TOP.

"Unacceptable!" I can just hear you all chorus. Well, yes. BRB.

All right. Now I am wearing a jammy top. And I'm still cold, so this column will be short. Then back to bed.

Last night at my book club, Mr. E made these incredible spring rolls. The chewy rice wrapper contrasted nicely with the mint, cucumber and tofu ingredients. YUM. And of course there was sweet peanut sauce for dipping! Next there was a pad thai, which was complete with noodles, deep fat friend tofu (which I LOOOVE), peanuts and various sundry ingredients. Last? The potatoes and red peppers in a creamy coconut sauce, which was to be served over sticky white rice (which I didn't eat, because, you know, white rice IS the divvil!). Delicious.

I remain,
