if today is anything like yesterday, our house will still be pretty toasty by mid afternoon. Yesterday we were SUPPOSED to eat rice, broccers, and tofu for dinner, but the rice requires the oven, and it was too hot for that. Instead Brett grilled some lamb and pitas outside, and I cut up some cucumber & bell pepper, and we just ate that. With hummus. Mmm...hummmmmus...
So now TODAY we're supposed to have last night's dinner, only I'm supposed to cook the rice now - before the house gets too hot to want to have the oven on. I've been feeling a little apprehensive about it, because after all - won't turning the oven on BEFORE the sun heats up the house only just make the house heat up the same amount, only faster? Whatevs. I don't know how these things work. I never took anything past a 100-level physics class. If that even counts as physics. That's how ignorant I am - I don't even know what kind of science I'm talking about.
Anyhooooo...I'll be making the rice regardless. I feel kind of stupid about it, because it requires an awful amount of effort for just RICE, but it's wild rice, so I guess it's worth it. I guess. It takes like, 15 minutes on the stove, and then an hour in the oven. But it's about 1,000x better than anything capable of being cooked in the rice cooker. And sometimes tofu doesn't fill me up as much as I think it should, but wild rice is really filling, so it balances out in the end.
"...balances out in the end." makes me think of my last post. Yes, that's right - I have the same sense of humor as a twelve year old boy. Woo!!! :D

I'm expecting this blog will eventually degenerate into nothing but posts about poop interspersed with the proverbial "that's what SHE said!"
And of course that would only encourage me to read more...
YES!!! That would be awesome. I have no idea what I'm going to write about today, but I want to write something, so I'll try to make it somehow involve both shit, and Michael Scott. Or, you know...neither. We'll have to see.
