It's Too Hot!

We're in LA this weekend and I am melting. It's been over 90 degrees and I am constantly sweating. I remember summers being hot, but I don't remember it being this hot. I definitely prefer being cold over being hot. At least with the cold, you can put more layers on. It's been hard sleeping because of the heat. You know things are bad when I can't fall asleep. I'm usually out in like 5 minutes and can sleep anywhere.

Edwin's mom took us for some Filipino desserts (http://www.houseofsilvanas.com/index.html) today. They were cashew-meringue wafers sandwiching buttercream in different flavors called ube, mocha, strawberry, chocolate, original, and buko-pandan. My favorite was chocolate but Edwin and his mom liked all the other flavors better. That's fine with me- more chocolate for me! I liked the strawberry too. The buko-pandan was green in color and tasted like coconut. They ran out of the original. I liked the ube too. If you've never had ube, I don't know how to describe the texture, but it is usually bright purple in color. I think that they were called Silvana's.

Going back home tomorrow morning. It's gonna be a rough day since we have to leave for the airport at 5:15AM.
