It's still hot. Frig, this summer. No extended walk this weekend because of it. I was hoping to go down to the south coast, ride the Goolwa to Port Elliot (maybe all the way to Victor Harbor) route, hoping it'd be cooler down there than up here, but it was still forecast for 35. As it turns out, that happened at about 11am then it suddenly dropped off and was probably only around 30 when I would've been riding. Go figure. Instead I've just sat watching cricket all day, yay! Go for standard sprints-run after that's done.
I finally put my Sydney photobook into production on Friday, so they'll be done probably Monday, maybe Tuesday, woo! I would upload these things, but even the super-fugly low res low quality ones come out over 20mb, and trust me, they are very fugly.
Oh yeah! One thing I've been trying out this year. My local supermarket is pretty awesome. The fruit and veg section has heaps of stuff you'd otherwise only find at Asian grocery stores or maybe at the Central Markets, and every time I go shopping I look at these weird things I've never heard of, or stuff I have heard of but have no idea what to do with, and wonder what they taste like. This year I've decided that, every week or two, I'll pick one of the weird veggies, google it for recipes, and make something based on that.
The last one was kohlrabi, which is one I've heard of but have no idea about, so I made this salad, but only half quantity, and had that with fish. It made a LOT of salad. I've been having it in sandwiches at work for lunch for like two weeks now. The dressing was amazing, though. Kohlrabi itself? Kinda like a big radish, I guess, though not nearly as peppery. I've read it can also be baked in the oven so I'll probably do that once the weather cools down and see how that goes.
Tonight is hairy melon! No idea what this thing is! But this recipe sorta seems to suggest it's something like a zucchini. I'll report back.
