what we don't have, what we have
A very nice lady brought us some homemade vegan lumpia. Ming asked her for a recipe, originally, but she had some already made in her freezer. We just have to deep fry them!
I don't know how to deep fry them tho. She didn't give any instructions. I kind of don't like deep frying things which is partly why I don't make lumpia normally. We have no, uh, exhaust thing on our stove. You know the thing overhead that takes the steam away? In fact, none of the three houses has that, here where we live.
We don't have any bathtubs either. Or heat besides space heaters. It's a bit basic, around here. But we have everything we need.
We have things other people don't have too, like a gorgeous peaceful courtyard with windchimes that tinkle in the breeze and many fat, fluffy cats who roam around like they own the place. Great trees--mequites trees, conifers, a eucalyptus tree, a fig tree--all giving shade. The birds who visit the trees and chirp for us and poop.
I remember when we were talking about getting a drier. Before, we only had a washer and hung everything to dry on the line. R was advocating for a drier. I said in a meeting, no, we don't need one. I liked not having a drier. I hate drier sheets and the way they smell. And I thought it was better for Mother Earth to line dry.
But R really wanted a drier, and I found out it was because he believes he has no time to line dry. He hates to line dry so bad that he wouldn't even do laundry here. He'd go to a laundromat.
So we got a drier a year ago and now barely use the line. I asked that we not use drier sheets. But someone put this thing in the drier that is like a drier sheet, stuck to the inside of the drier. By now it's used up.
Well, Ming is home from serving the hungry. I think it stopped raining. I need to run a couple errands. I rejoined Postcrossing so I need some postcards and to pick up some pills. Also that special kind of vegan cheese sauce for this chili mac recipe I wanna make.
Beautiful wishes to you for a good day and love all around.
