Its too darn hot...

On the 4th day of over 90 degree heat and (we're in CT, not Florida here people...) I am fully grumpy and fully done with cooking of anykind.

Salads, salads are key

Grate 4 carrots, add some golden raisins, some pepita, some toasted sesame seeds in a bowl. Add one tsp olive oil, 1 tsp rice wine vinegar, 1/2 tsp ginger. Stir, let sit for about an hour in fridge

Slice an avocado, sprinkle with lemon, salt and pepper. Serve on toast

Buy a chicken from the supermarket, shred the breasts off the bone, add 2 tbsp of this restaurant's salad dressing (worth the trip- even if you are in Arkansas) and a tbsp of dijon mustard. Serve on the toast with the avocado...

Cube a cucumber. Add plain yogurt, salt, pepper and some dill weed. Refridgerate. eat.

Make a fruit salad.

Serve it to your children for a poolside picnic. Let the ants clean it up.
