Still in vegetative state

[wiseheart]

... because it's still frigging hot over here, and apparently it will be even hotter tomorrow. Joy, joy... NOT!

To make things even funnier, I woke up to the unpleasant surprise that I must have pulled something in my lower back (left side) in my sleep. I do such things from time to time, and it takes forever to heal. It's not that bad right now, just a dull ache and only if I make certain moves - unfortunately, it isn't the same move each time that causes the pain, so that I could avoid it and be done with it. Grrrr!!!

In any case, not being able to fall asleep again I got up and made peach compote before the peaches I bought two days ago would rot, even in the fridge. We're gonna eat it instead of soup in the next couple of days, which means not much cooking, which is a blessing in this heat. No idea what else I'm gonna cook tomorrow; I'd avoid it under normal circumstances, but I'll have to cook for Monday, too, as I'll have to go to places on that day, which will be bad enough. *sigh*

We are still obsessed with watching athletics, but I managed to sew in another page for the songbook and made another little purse. So the day wasn't completely wasted. Go me!

I made a peach pie for L. when we had some extra peaches sitting around and I didn't want them to go bad.

From what I see it will get cooler for you on Tuesday ... fingers crossed!

Amen to that! Too bad I'll have to leave the house on Monday — unless I find a way around it.

I didn't feel suicidal enough to switch on the oven by 36°C. *g*

I'm a dumb American so I had to go look that up. Geez, I guess not!

You aren't dumb. Just used to think in Fahrenheit. Which I wouldn't be able to do. ;)

Peach compote sounds nice. What do you eat along with it?

Hope your back heals soon.

Back pain? You very much have my sympathy. I'm considering strimming (String trimmer - electric weed/grass trimmer) the front garden today, if it does not rain.

That's what I will cook this week- peach compote combined with peach fritters. Hubby will be in sugar heaven!

We eat it on its own, instead of soup. Much better in his heat.

It feels better already, thank God. Wasn't as serious as I feared, apparently.

Back pain is better already. Must have been a pulled muscle or whatnot. Waaaay milder than the pinched nerve that I manage to get in my sleep every couple of years.

Peach fritters???

Schnelles Rezept: Drei große Pfirsiche schälen und in 1-2 cm große Stücke schneiden. Mit einer Tasse Zucker übergießen und eine halbe Stunde stehen lassen, bis sie Saft ziehen. Dann Vanilleessenz, ein wenig Zimt und ein Hauch Muskat dazu. Eine Tasse Mehl mit 1 Teelöffel Backpulver mischen und über das Obst kippen. Verrühren, bis aus der eher trockenen Masse ein zäher Teig wird. Dann Öl in einer Pfanne erhitzen, den Teig mit einem Esslöffel ins nicht zu heiße Öl geben und ausbacken, dabei einmal wenden. Schmeckt mit und ohne Staubzucker!

Das hört sich gut an! Werde bei Gelegenheit versuchen. Danke!
