Christ it was hot and muggy out there. Disgusting!! Felt so gross by noon. Burnt, dehydrated, fly- irritated ... The one plus point is I managed to leave early enough after hitting my quota and have embarked on dinner as I promised myself.

It's turning out a bit ambitious: teriyaki salmon, blanched amaranth with sesame and miso, quick pickled carrot and daikon (my life for a julienne-r - atrocious knife skills). Now for a quick run to the shops for short grain rice to round it out, even though the Coles ones taste like cardboard.

Cut too much daikon so that's gone into a spicy stir fry with more carrot...
