Holy…hot. Everyone I know is probably laughing right now. I purposely came to Australia to enjoy their summer. I really do not like being cold. I get grumpier every winter. So, when I made the decision to go down under on a work and holiday visa, I decided to wait out the summer at home, and then have summer part deux in the southern hemisphere.
All of the Australians that I met back in October/November, before summer officially commenced, said that I really didn’t understand how hot it was going to get. Apparently, the UV rays are more intense here. Well, I tell you, today…I believe it. The high was supposed to be 93F today, and it cleared 100F. It wasn’t supposed to hit 100F until tomorrow. So, tomorrow, I will be inside. Just in case anyone needs me.
And what would my post be without food?
This morning, I made…ready?…*drum roll*big breath in*…Hawaiian Buckwheat Coconut Banana Pineapple Raw Breakfast Cereal! Oh yes, it was just a delicious as it sounds.
(I added photos of the cat and the view from the backyard just because I thought perhaps this blog needed more of such images.)
I also went to the beach today, thinking it was only going to hit 93F. And ended up in the water the whole time because it was, in fact, over 100F. A good day, though. Ready for a cooler night.
And now, I will end this post because I believe that my computer is overheating.
SIKE! (That word still makes me laugh.)
Before I go, a friend and I have been exchanging raw ice cream recipes. Since this week will be really hot, I will likely try them all. My favorites are:
Raw Avocado Coconut Lime Ice Cream
Vegan Peach Ice Cream (can likely be made raw by replacing the brown sugar)
And this Raw Green Tea Ice Cream (I love green tea ice cream…hell, I just love ice cream.)
Thanks, Angi, for the suggestions!
