I actually have some leftover white rice from the Teriyaki. Angela might eat
that later. I've been looking for recipes that are filling and can be made
cheaply. Have been trying to help him out when I can. He has been going
through a rough patch medically speaking and this hot weather isn't helping.
At least it was cool today but supposed to get hot again.

I must be adjusting to the temps. Haven't really suffered much despite a
record breaking dry spell and record high temps. The key for me is to get
out of my clothes the minute I get in and put on some loose form of dress.
Not sure what a guy would do. Heh.
