I feel like I haven't dried off in the last week. It's been a rainy, humid start to the summer. On Tuesday we had flash floods (4" in an hour) which prevented some coworkers from getting to work. Since I'm a pedestrian commuter, I managed to get to work on time. However, in my not-so-clever attempt to deal with the rain, I wore flip-flops during my commute and then changed into my good shoes when I arrived. As I waded through ankle-deep puddles, I found that people, like cars, can hydroplane.
I try not to complain about the weather too much, because I still enjoy living in a place that has weather. Miami was hot and humid for six months and warm and comfortable for six months. I never consulted the weather report, and I never thought too much about what the day would be like. Even though I've been here a year, I'm still enjoying the seasons and the fact that days can be different.
In other news, a neighbor (and friend) J turned 50 this week, so friend C and I cooked wonton soup, followed by cake and ice cream for dessert. I found a recipe for walnut ice cream that I will definitely be using again.
I only had two candles. So I had to let each candle equal 25 candles.
Ada hopes that someone will drop something.

What is wonton soup - I've never heard of it before?
The ice cream sounds fabulous- enough to tempt me to invest in an ice cream maker.
did you make the cake too? He is lucky to have such good neighbors
Gill, wontons are a type of chinese dumpling. They have a thin wrapper, filled with chopped meat or veggies. I use chopped tofu, ginger, chives, and water chestnuts.
Oh, I am very fortunate! The dinner was delicious! I think it's amazing how quick and high-quality the ice cream is made with the ice cream maker. Thanks C & R/M for making it a fun evening! -jg
