It might if I hadn't banished it into the cabinet after a horrible onion ring debacle. I need to get back on that horse and try again.

Sv'd and then smoked chicken last night

We must be related I CRAVE fried food, too! I want fried fish and fried chicken.

Oh I am so sorry for your health issues. I sound like an ass complaining like I am. I just don't like being so sweaty I'm sorry for your health problems too. It's a nice, rainy morning here. Hoping it stays cloudy all day. That certainly helps I'm loving all of these ideas!

What time does it end tomorrow?

What is in a Black Russian? I used to love White Russians....until I had 5 too many one night playing pool....

WOW that's a lot of outage.

Very tiresome. A company that big that depends solely on internet sales should never crash like that.

I tried several times to view kitchen items etc. and I never could. I just saw on the news that the site crashed. Oooops. Someone in IT is in trouble.... A bit later I was able to order something that wasn't on sale for prime day.

That is definitely only for you I know Anna's views on MW.

@Kim Shook Your food always makes me hungry.

Me too. That should have been plenty of time to hit the target temp.

Me too Yes, I'm talking about central air.

Project "Cooking in hot weather" has commenced I SV'd a turkey breast and then Ronnie smoked it yesterday morning. Potato salad made with leftover taters. All I had to do last night is hard boil the eggs (in the IP so very little heat was added to the kitchen)

Admittedly, I am a big baby in the heat. I know it could be worse..... YES! That's the thread I was looking for. Thank you!

Thank you! I just ordered this mix from Amazon. I never make good wheat bread from scratch. We love composed salads, too . Thank you for the idea about using nuts. LOL a cold cloth on my forehead sounds like heaven right now.

YES. That is what I need to do. I am also almost out of bread. I need to get up super early and make that, too.

You know, you may be on to a great idea.....a king size bed picnic..... FUN Also, quiche. Yes.

GOOD idea. Perfect. I have some good salami --Ronnie is also an insister of meat lol.

Happy Birthday, Norm! That steak looks perfect.

Maybe if I start this topic the air conditioner people will install our new system this week. We've hung in here for about a month with no AC on the main floor. Well, none is not the right term. At night the AC used to be able to catch up and get down to 70F. Then around 10:30 a.m. it would begin to creep up. By 5 -6 p.m. it was at least 81F in the kitchen. I like it cold. 68F is about right for me. Anyway, long story short, the AC people are completely overwhelmed and to tide us over the sent a person out on Saturday to refill our AC with whatever the coolant is called. While doing that another part broke and now no AC at all on the main floor. The upstairs is still limping along. I'm sweaty. I've searched here to no avail--I swear there was a topic about cooking in hot weather. I found the Cold Noodles Cook-Off which will hopefully give me some ideas. I know that some like to grill or cook outdoors but when it's this hot outside, that is not for me. I'm looking for ideas for things I can prep in the morning and then serve for the evening meal. I don't mind using our CSO, the IP or the SV machine but I'm out of ideas and need some EG inspiration.

That's for if you were doing a big 'ole pork shoulder and you want it like pulled pork.

Tell me (you know I'm a country bumpkin) why they water the highway?

We had a nice rain overnight so we decided it was a good time to pull most of the onions. They sure didn't get very big this year. I guess because it go so hot so early. Will think about planting earlier next year......... Todays other pickage

The nightly cucumber salad A few beans were ready (finally) in the garden. Supplemented by store bought (not as good) Walleye
