30 degrees Centigrade. 30 damn degrees Centigrade. Went home humming, "It's too darned hot," not actually having had the energy to do so in the office. We had the windows open, the door open, the fan going, and even so.

We all suffer. Miserere nobis.

Still, got two reports more or less agreeing with each other. This is good. Then got home and collapsed in cool bedroom and crashed.

If this temperature/weather continues, I swear I'm going to try that cold noodles and dipping sauce recipe. My parents even sounded moderately intrigued when I mentioned it; perhaps the concept of it being cold appealed. Just possibly. (One can only eat so many salads in a week, after all.)

Actually, cold noodles is great for hot days. Took a trip to Japan right in the middle of July- dog days of summer and all that. The cold soba I had in one little shop was fitting for the weather. I highly recommend it.

Those are fantastically yummy. Had some in Nara once, dipped in raw egg. Oiishi!

Bah. 30 degrees is a balmy springtime in these parts.

I wish I had the recipe for the ramen soup I had in Shinuku when we were in Tokyo. The heat was getting to me, and this spicy, cold soup was delightful. It was just what I needed to restore my energy. The waiter kept insisting it was 'ray-men' instead of the usual 'rah-men' but that's all I have to go on.
