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 |

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. |

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. 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 Too hot to cook here. 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! |

It doesn't sound appetizing. Joy |

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. |
