100 degrees? It gets in the 80's here and people complain. Anyway when it's summer and hot, I grill everything or have salad or fruit. I hate heating up the kitchen in summer. If it gets that hot, you DO have air conditioning don't you? I know of only one home in my entire county with central air.
Home grown tomatoes on a bacon, homegrown lettuce and cheese on fresh sourdough bread sandwich ; home made potato salad with home grown potatoes. Home made sweet tea with a touch of honey from my own bee hive.
Can it get better than that?
Assuming one is not in an air-conditioned environment, I prefer not to eat cooked food is such hot weather. Most likely I would eat a tuna sandwich and perhaps either a vegetable or fruit salad.
Lots of fresh fruits and veg, I over do it at the farmers market. So rather than making an actual meal, I might just steam up a lot of broccoli or squash and eat it by itself.
Also, I just eat the salad fixins before they make it to the salad. Six romaine leaves, handful of cherry tomatos, handful of snap peas, 4 inch chunk of cuke, I'm good.
I'm just not as hungry when its warm out.........
Exactly! Or all I want is something frozen like a daiquiri. But I suspect you can't live on daiquiris for the entire Summer.
Mooksmom-cold cooked shrimp really is sounding better and better.
Jim-Yes, I have AC but it's working overtime to keep the house in the mid 70's. It can only do so much with over 30 degrees difference! Don't want to add to that by firing up the gas stove. It's the one drawback of gas stove, it gets too warm overall.
Worren-Mmmhmm home grown tomatoes, I can eat them plain with just a touch of salt and lime.
I pick up a rotisserie chicken and turn into cold peanut butter chicken satay. Its not my recipe (can't recall where I saw it); but the only cooking involved is boiling noodles, which I do earlier in the day.
I wouldn't complain if you chose to share that recipe with us.

Oooh that looks really good! I have to see tomorrow if my store has any good shrimp.
