summer.heat

15 day post surgery. another summer day, in fact warmer than yesterday. you went to the city hall to run some errands, an overdue background check that your project requires, you finally submitted the paper, paid the fee. now you got to wait for 2 to 4 weeks to get the result.
you made a quick round at the weekly market just behind the city hall, get some fresh fried fish, a little of shopping here and there. you feel the burden at the wound but it's something bearable. you have to pick up your physical activities and hence the quick stroll at the city center is beneficial.

lunch today is grilled beef steak with salad, since chef is on late afternoon shift.
dinner on your own, but that's okay, as you can already warm food up or cook simple meal for that matter. in this case is just the matter of warming up a bowl of big pork bone soup with lots of peanut, goji, tofu sheet and red date... it's too warm for the weather but is the tonic that your body needs.

today you boiled the tofu sheet, ginkgo, barley sweet soup (腐竹白果意米糖水). you wanted to achieve the silky consistency but your tofu sheet didn't melt easily despite long hour of boiling.  so you crack an egg to a bowlful of the soup and made a quick stir to get the "cheat" silky consistency...
whilst in reality, without the egg, this is how your soup looks like. it's still delicious though, just didn't what you expected it to be...
