What do you do when you can't stand the heat but can't get out of the kitchen?

the zillion degrees are going to stay over the next days! tonight I just made a crisp salad with kohlrabi, apples, toasted walnuts and scamorza. Dressing: meyer lemon juice and walnut oil

It's supposed to get down in the 60s tonight, here. I may make chili.

Here it's 78, no detectable humidity, and breezy.  I've got the oven fired up for high-heat chicken.  After weeks of fish and meatballs and restaurants, I'm giddy for some crispy skin.    

 

Of course, tomorrow is August.  This can't hold.

@Shelby what I want to know is, how do you do the canning in the heat?!? What about the pickles???

 

That might be a different thread . . .

I'm grinning and bearing it .

 

Truly, it hasn't been too bad.  The last few days have been stormy/cloudy and only highs in the 80's.  I can't complain.

 

Edited to add that I'm told I need to thank Canada for the cooler air.

 

So THANK YOU, eh.
