Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I think we were in the low 80's earlier today. The dojo had a dunk tank to celebrate the 5 year anniversary of our dojo. The kids were very excited about dunking one of our Senseis.
After lessons the kids got to take a turn being dunked. CJ had a blast and all the other kids on the demo team were eager to dunk him. BUT mom and the Sensei had first dibs on dunking him! My aim sucked but I dunked him anyway.
Anyone have a favorite recipe for any kind of strawberry dessert?

Really good strawberries.
Wash. Serve. (Add sweetener if you absolutely insist.)
Dana: strawberry shortcake made with only-a-little-sweetened homemade biscuits, which you butter when they are just out of the oven, and top with strawberries that have been cut and tossed with sugar and left to bleed for a couple of hours. NOM.
Or: cut up the strawberries, spread them in a baking dish, top with sour cream and some brown sugar, and then broil for a few moments. The brown sugar caramelizes and it's awesome.
I did refuse to go for a run today on the grounds of it being too hot and sunny outside.
I did run, but it was at 8:30 and it wasn't too hot yet. But it was the first time all summer I wore my shorts and a running bra top (instead of a t-shirt). It was nice, but I wouldn't want to run now.
I'm supposed to be writing but I want a glass of wine, but all I have in the fridge is Prosecco and it seems indulgent to open it just for myself. And it's too hot for red wine (of which I have plenty).

There's an 8:30 in the morning??? I kid. I'm just not functional for more than getting coffee at that time of day, usually.
On Saturdays I usually run earlier than that, but I was on travel this week and really needed to sleep in.
If I don't run in the morning, I pretty much don't run. I used to not be able to run in the morning, but I've been doing it for four years now and I've mostly adjusted. At least once I've done it, I'm done and I can feel self-righteous all the rest of the day...
If I don't run in the morning, I pretty much don't run.
Which is the same for me, and when I had a day job, I could run at 6:30 am no problem. Well, with little problem. And now, NSM. Which is why I just put a whole bunch of cheesy Crunch videos on my Netflix queue, on the theory of "At Least It's Something".
I've decided I prefer Central Florida humidity to NYC humidity as the former is much much cleaner humid air. The perpetual layer of sweat is far better than the perpetual layer of sweaty grime.
My ex once described walking in a NYC summer as like being breaded and deepfried.

This, but with whipped cream, is exactly what I was going to suggest.
