I crave sinigang when I'm stressed out and feeling just this side of homesick even though my mom doesn't really cook Filipino food anymore? Turns out I also crave it when it's hot as balls outside. Which it is. Hot as balls.
This is okay. I have a whole tilapia thawing out on my counter, a rice cooker mostly full of rice, and enough vegetables in my fridge to swing this. LET'S ROLL.
In other news, Matrix is too goddamn smart for her own good. I put up the baby fence when I came home and cracked open our front door to get some air flowing up in this business; the fence was raised just enough (or so I thought) as to discourage the cats from jumping, but not so high they could crawl in the space below.
Matrix is a chunky, solidly built girl. I did not expect her to be able to flatten herself enough to get past the fence.
I hauled her back over and lowered the fence just slightly. She tried flattening herself again and passing through. When she realized she was too big, she started pushing at the fence with her paws in this insanely brilliant kitty attempt to give herself more room. It didn't work, but still. Damn.
