an entry somewhere else

I woke up a few days ago with a bit of heat rash. First, it was around my lips, then I started scratching my neck. The eyes came on next with some other places that don’t see daylight too often. Right now, it looks as if I received a few good punches in a fight. At least that’s what I’m letting people think. I’m going to go douse the pain with cold water now. A photo of my discomfort is in the December 2006 photo album.

I also successfully watched Safir cook black rice pudding. Eight cloves, four nutmeg, a few tablespoons of cinnamon, a half kilo of black rice, a half kilo of palm sugar, and one shredded coconut later put the sweet porridge in my belly. Photos of the process are also in this month’s album.
