Summertime

 Hi Natty!  How are you?  I hope you are healthy and keeping safe.  How's life in lovely Venice Beach?  I saw a recent video of the place when it was cold and foggy out, and it looked like they really cleaned up the area.  I wonder what they did with all the homeless.  Anyway the New Year brings summertime to this place, and the wind becomes violent plus it gets ridiculously hot.  Sure enough, the wind is powerful right now.  It hasn't gotten ridiculously hot, though.  Rather it's very cool, and last night it was cold.  Well, I can't complain.  I loathe hot weather, so alhamdulillah.

I made fried rice again today.  Yesterday I forgot to put my steamed rice in the cooler, but today I didn't forget.  Fried rice is best made with rice that has been sitting in the fridge overnight.  Yesterday I used chicken and broccoli, but today I used crispy anchovies and cauliflower.  I had plenty of anchovy bouillon, but I had no soy sauce.  Even though I put fresh basil, anchovies and green hot chilli peppers in there, this turned out to be the whitest fried rice I ever made in my life.  It was successful in flavor though, better than yesterday.  So alhamdulillah.
