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.

we 'bake' our food on the BBQ
it has a themostat and works like any other gas stove, you have to learn
what temp the marks will drop you to

tonight, we had "Shake N Bake" Cajung pork chops on the BBQ
boy, that was good!

I never understood the concept of BBQs. Generally you use them outdoors and
that is about the last place I want to be on a hot day. I also dislike the
flavor of food that has been on a BBQ.

Barbecuing of course originated in past centuries when being outside was always
going to be cooler than staying indoors.

That's your choice, but I think you're selling yourself short on lots of
succulent smoky low-carb protein.

It's the smoky flavor that I can't stand. And I can't eat much in the way
of protein. Mostly it is in the form of beans. I don't do low carb.

roasted vegetables are also glorious! Portobello mushrooms . whole make a
very meaty tasting food too adn onions, green peppers, etc are to die for.
Pour a little balsamic vnegar on when they com eoff the grill.

err, but, err

why is your BBQ meat smokey?

mine isn't (i don't put hickory or apple or whatever chips in my BBQ)

i do have a smoker and i use the chips there

I love bbq and was seriously trying to learn about smoking, even had the
smoker i want picked out, unfortunately one needs a patio or porch upon
which to store and use such a thing, Lee

Sounds great. Tonight we are having Sizzle steak with a parmiagana sauce
and topped with cheese.

Basically you toss slices on a hot pan and turn it over straight away
and its ready Daughter's choice.

It was very nice, she was supposed to add canned, crushed tomatoes to
the pre-made sauce but chose not to, it was delicious as it was.

Might be that it revs your metabolism up - does that to me, I need
less thyroxine in the summer, or if I go somewhere hot in the winter.

The event of this summer was to buy a new BBQ I bought a kettle
type, so it can be used come sun, rain, or snow... lovely thing. Best
roast chicken I've ever tasted.
