Sunday, May 21, 2017

Last night we went to bed at 11:30, I quickly fell asleep and only got up twice during the night finally waking up at 8am and getting up at 8:30.  At one point early in the morning there was some type of a bird hooting outside our window for probably more than an hour.

It’s a mostly sunny day but still cool so maybe Teresa made the right call not to go to Santafe.

It’s 9:30 in the morning and we still have our electricity.  I think Teresa got her dates mixed up.

Laura and I left the apt at 1pm to have pizza at the new Papa Johns in Envigado at Carrera 43A #23 Sur-85, local 101 - www.PapaJohns.com.co at 310-6810.

They didn’t have individual menus, just a large signboard behind the counter where you place your order.   We decided to order a medium (8 slices) pizza – ½ Pomodoro and ½ Johns Favorite and a 1.5 liter bottle of regular Coke.  The total came to 34,800 (about $12).  We were told it would take 20 minutes but our pizza came hot 10-15 minutes later.  We liked both types but agreed the Pomodoro was better.  The Johns Favorite seemed too salty for me maybe because of the Italian sausage and pepperoni.  I was surprised they didn’t brink us any plates especially since later I saw other customers with slice sized cardboard plates.  We ate 6 of the slices and got the other 2 to go.

Back at the apt Laura determined that an older woman sitting on the neighbor’s steps was hungry so we gave her our leftover pizza.

At 4pm I heard some thunder in the distance (East).  Down here the weather seems to come from the east unlike the US where it comes from the west.  It didn’t develop into anything so I guess it passed us by.

I finished the last of my current batch of iced tea.  I’ve found that about ½ a teaspoon of sugar in a glass of tea with ice is just about perfect for me.


Just before 10pm it started raining and was still coming down when we went to bed at 11:30.

  1. Hi Terry,

    Just FYI, if you're wanting to use sugar in iced tea why not make up some simple syrup.

    SIMPLE SYRUP RECIPE

    Recipe is 1 : 1, so put one cup sugar & one cup water into a saucepan.
    Heat to a simmer and stir 'til all the sugar is dissolved.
    Cool slightly, then pour into a clean glass bottle with a lid and store in the 'fridge.
    It will keep chilled for about one month.

    This is great to add directly to chilled drinks since the sugar is already dissolved for you.

    Cheers!
