Master Chef
We've been having awful weather here...highs in the 90's and humidity so high that you could cut the air with a knife. The heat index yesterday was 105.
True, many of us live and work in air-conditioning, but even going in and out is enough to make you puke. And there are many who have to work outside in this heat, or who don't have AC. My husband's been running a bulldozer, which does have an air-conditioned cab, but he's still wrung out and beat when he gets home. The last thing he wants is a heavy meal. And the AC is working hard enough without heating up the kitchen.
Last night I found a ziplock in the freezer that said "Mexican Filling", and we had beef and bean burritoes. Tonight we're having tuna salad on whole wheat bread and sliced tomatoes. Tomorrow night, I'm planning on BLT's, and I figure a nice chef salad & garlic bread will be good the next night.
So what do you eat when thermometer is about to pop?
