I've been doing a lot of cooking with the microwave, including a whole
chicken. DH was not happy, since he loves the crisp skin, but it
doesn't heat up the kitchen like the oven or cooktop. I made it up to
him by using some spicy sauces and other seasonings.

The humidity here has been dreadful, even though temps are hanging in
the 80's. can't breath, don't feel like getting up at all, little say
cooking. We've had tuna salad, marinated tofu, green salads with
hummus, and fish, since it can be broiled quickly and doesn't seem to
heat the house up too dreadfully.

Been thinking of things like gazpacho and other cold soups. Beer
sounds good. How much protein in a can?
