Day 196 I Heart Avocados

Tonight I had the perfect summer dinner. Once again it is about 105 degrees and again, too hot to even think about turning on the stove or the oven. After work, I made a mad dash across a steaming parking lot to the icy cool grocery store. I admit, I stalled a little while shopping, not relishing the idea of going back out into the furnace of an Oklahoma afternoon. I decided in the air conditioned paradise of Reasor's grocery to have a guacamole and chips night, so that's what I did. I bought some really ripe avocados, an onion, and some chips. I mixed my guacamole with my leftover ghost chili salsa and I was in Mexiheaven. Good dinner all the way around.
 I don't know what my plans are tomorrow, aside from staying in an air conditioned building, but I hope to find something interesting to do. Perhaps it would be a good day to make the cold gazpacho! I may just sit in a bucket full of ice cubes for the rest of the day. Be cool, stay inside, and drink plenty of water America!

Day 192 Dear God, Please Turn Down The Heat

Oh my sheesh, it was like 300 degrees today, OK, closer to 105 but still flipping hot outside. I will never be accused of being dehydrated, I've consumed at least a swimming pool's worth of water today, which makes me not very hungry. I feel like I should have iced tea for dinner, maybe a mineral water for dessert, it is just too hot to eat! Am I dreaming, that I may have seen an article about eating hot sauce when you're hot to cool down? It may have been so, but I don't so much feel like experimenting at the moment. Today, I gave away vegetables, yesterday, I ate one of the bags of squash in my freezer, so tomorrow, I must go out and forage for more in the garden, hoping to find good tomatoes. Right now, I am dreaming of cold gazpacho soup, perhaps there will be enough tomatoes to make this a reality and for a side dish, frozen grapes, that sounds cool and refreshing...and healthy, but who really cares about that when you're sweating off ten pounds a day, just by walking into the parking lot. It may even be too hot to blog, blah.
