Last night after work I got home to a hot house and did my best to open all the windows and get a cross breeze going through to cool it down. While the house was cooling I started marinating two chicken breasts in olive oil, lemon juice, thyme, garlic, salt and pepper. I turned on the grill, and then went outside to harvest a handful of basil. After a bit I threw the chicken on the grill and shortly after that Kuniko came home.
She was wondering why I wasn’t using the air conditioning.
So we turned it on for the first time this season, and all the sweat just magically stopped. So nice. Dinner turned out great – I put the chicken on some “premium” bread from the lady down the street, with a little mozzarella and some tomatoes, then shredded the basil and put it on as well. A perfect sandwich.
We also used the A/C to cool down our bedroom for sleeping, and that meant that when I woke up I was sweating – a trend that will continue for the next three months. On the positive side, I’m sure to start losing some weight because of this.
Tonight I’m meeting Antoine after work for dinner and drinks. Not sure where we might go, but the nice thing about Sannomiya is that there are plenty of options. I haven’t hung out with Antoine for months and months, so it’ll be good to catch up with him and see how his new family is doing.
