It's a matter of temperature, Joan. She hasn't figured out there is a
way to cool down the house so she can cook anything she wants to, any
time of year.

It's pretty much hot where I live all year round, except for 2 (maybe 3)
months starting in December. So according to her proclaimation, I'm not
supposed cook chicken stew or make a pot of chili except in December and
January? Damn. I did not know that. LOL

No Jill. That's not it at all. I do make chili in the summer. My chili
isn't an overly heavy food. And I don't serve it with cornbread because
nobody here is a cornbread lover.

I also don't like to turn the heat on. I will if I have to but I will put it
off for as long as possible. So I get cold and I want some hot food. I
just ordered a new carafe for my tea. I just hope this one works. I had a
wonderful pump pot that I got for free just for buying three greeting cards.
I could put tea in it at dinner time and the tea would still be hot by
breakfast the next morning. Alas, it finally broke. I have yet to find one
that is even close to being as good as that one was. My current one give me
lukewarm tea, 3 hours later.

Anyway... I like to eat hot foods in the winter. And foods that I consider
to be heavier. Like casseroles and pot pie. I do not want all of that
heavy food sitting in my stomach during the summer. Even when I had AC, I
didn't make that stuff during the summer. We ate a lot of raw veggies,
salads and some of us ate a lot of fruits then. I made shaved ice like
crazy. I made lemonade into ice blocks, shaved it and served it with more
lemonade.

Well... my food isn't "heavy" and it doesn't sit in my stomach. And if
I waited for winter I'd never cook or eat half the things I enjoy year
round.

No dumbass, do TRY to keep up. I know this is beyond
the comprehension of your stupid pea brain, but hot
food, casseroles, soups, and such are not 'heavy'
foods to many of us.

Carry-on in your own screwed up world.

What exactly do you make a casserole out of so that it is light? And of
course not all soups are heavy.

You don't have cold winters though. Do you? People who have been out
shoveling snow like to come in and have something hot.

Very true and she probably doesn't have much of that cold weather.
My worse Christmas week was one year when the temps were about 80F
each day here. That was just wrong to me.

I've never lived anywhere where it was that warm at Christmas but it was
pretty much 70, year round, in Alameda, CA.

I can't control the weather. All I was saying was I don't let the
weather dictate what I cook. Winter, spring, summer, fall. I cook and
eat whatever I feel like.

Sure, there are perceived seasons for what people eat at certain times
of the year. I don't let it control my life.

I plan to cook corned beef and cabbage next week. It's nowhere near
Saint Patrick's day. Damn, I guess I shouldn't do that.

I remember a New Years Day when the thermometer on my deck said 90F
degrees. It's in the sun and it was a sunny day, but still. That's hot
for Jan 1 in MD. I probably still have the picture I took of it just to
remember much later. I actually liked it!

"In my area" we often get very warm winter days. It's a nice break vs
the constant cold from up North. I like the warm breaks but just not
on a certain 3 days of the year.

I prefer (because it seems traditional to me) very cold days on:
- Thanksgiving Day
- Christmas Eve
- Christmas Day

That's it. I'll take warm the rest of the year. :-D

Actually, when I'm done shoveling snow I'm sweaty and overheated.
I want a glass of ice water and a tepid shower.

It's one of the best workouts there is. Julie doesn't even shovel snow.
She calls it being "snowed in" and orders food for home delivery so she
doesn't have to go out in it.

Of course I shovel snow! And no, I don't go out in it here. They don't
plow the roads here. And I don't even know that there would be any sort of
delivery in the snow. We don't even get mail delivery if it is bad. I got
a delivery once. After that, they said they would no longer deliver in
inclement weather. And after that, they quit delivering entirely.

I have a stockpile of food and as I said, I was getting my freezer ready for
the winter.
