I can remember reading something written I think by Fran Liebowitz when I
was a teen. She was complaining that during hot weather, people seem to
think we don't want to eat. So they serve her things like light little
salads. She said she gets hungrier during hot weather.

I have noticed that myself. And Angela seems to be a lot hungrier as well!
Today it reached 97 here in Bothell. That's pretty unusual. We were out
and near a store where I knew I needed to buy something. But what? Oddly
my memory seems to have improved since I started taking vitamin E, but do
you think I could remember what it was? I knew it was something gluten
free. Of course I couldn't remember it until later. We stopped at another
store and by then I had remembered that it was gluten free macaroni and
cheese that I needed. Luckily that store had the brand that I wanted.
*whew* Anyway... I decided to go in to see if something would jar my
memory and see if they had cheese samples. Heh.

They had brie. I don't really like brie so went on to the other two
barrels. One was empty. But the other? Loaded with little chilled cups of
their version of salad Caprese. Half a cherry tomato, ball of mozzarella,
drizzle of olive oil, balsamic vinegar and bit of basil. Oh yum! Angela
didn't like hers.

Then later at Costco, I had two more cheese samples and grabbed up a sample
of some sort of pepperoni pizza. I don't even LIKE pepperoni. The piece I
had, had just a tiny triangle of pepperoni and according to Angela, I wolfed
it down like a pig. I was just soooo hungry.

Then on to Target. I had a bag of popcorn there and also some Light
Lemonade. I didn't finish the popcorn. I gave the rest to Angela. She
always eats some of hers then brings the bag home where she will have it
later. Last year she would bring it to school for a snack. I don't think
they get snacks in Jr. High. But I guess we'll see.

Now I am watching the clock, waiting for dinner. Should get it in the oven
soon. We're having pizza and salad bar. I figure it won't matter to have
the oven on since it is already so hot in here. What's a little more heat?
Heh.

So... Does hot weather make you hungrier? I don't know why it would. But
it sure does seem to.
