Dinner for a hot hot night

I know most of the US is under a heat dome, and on the east coast we're
no exception at well over 100F muggy degrees today, and close to that
all week. Unfortunately I participate in "Peak Rewards" through my
power company and they have been cycling my AC compressor all day and
it's almost 90F in the house. Can't get ahold of them to opt out.
Figures. I thought I was being green, but now I'm just red and sweaty.

Going on vacation tomorrow so for dinner I'm using up the fresh produce.
Yellow squash and broccoli is my dinner. I hope I don't regret that on
my long drive in the morning. lol

88 in my house at the moment. No end in sight.

I really do feel for you without AC. It is miserable. I think it
wouldn't be so bad if not for the humidity. The dew point has been
around 80 so that's high high humidity. The second you step outside
you're soaked. Even working around the house I'm soaked. I'm waiting
for a little bit to take a shower. I felt bad for the cats but they were
all stretched out on the hardwood floor so it was probably cooler than a
carpet.

Stay safe.

It's still 87 in the house and about the same outside. This kind of weather
is abnormal here. It usually cools down more quickly at night. I'm going
swimming in the clothes that I'll wear to bed.

Of course it's been well above 100 F for weeks, here in Arizona,
although I try to keep the A/C thermostat set around 80 or above.
Unfortunately, now we are flirting with the Monsoons, dew point is
rising into the mid fifties, which means the humidity becomes as
uncomfortable here as in the rest of the country.

Does she plan to COOK it? (I just assumed raw veggies with a dip.)

If *you* are still able to crunch down *raw* squash and/or *raw*
broccoli......that
deserves a MileHigh Salute from me. Let's just say....I can....but
would rather not.
When I said, "salads" that is *not* what I meant!

I love raw broccoli and cauliflower with dip, but I don't think I've ever
had raw squash. It doesn't sound appetizing.

Cooked...good. Raw, not so good. If using up veggies, I'd assume
cooked, unless you
bought them a couple days ago. Heat does a number on veggies, even
refrigerated.
You better believe that even in this weather, my fridge is not set on
its highest interior
or freezer setting. I am still getting used, after several years, to
sticking something you
want frozen out on deck in winter. Same thing in winter with frozen
desserts, yogurt, and
sherbet: here I can stop by a friend's on route of errand, stay for a
little visit there, and
take my frozen groceries home still solid hard frozen. Try that in
south FL.
