Where I live the climate is hot and arid, so we enjoy Green Chile Stew or chili with extra hot peppers in it.. because at the end of a long workday, nothing feels better than a big-ass bowl of chili and a cold beer.
I love Chili but tend to eat rich stews and soups mostly in the autumn and winter. In summer I prefer to eat lighter things, fish, chicken, salads, tabouleh, iced soups ( Gaspacho or Cucumber for example).
A lot more "picnic" foods like cold meats, cheeses and breads, etc...
I hate summer and the heat so anything which is going to add to the heat I tend to stay clear from.

Ahhh.. Jordan... I miss green chile stew.... and posole...and navajo tacos... I know I can make it here, and I do- but there's nothing like walking out the door and knowing that almost every restaurant you stop at is gonna have at least one of the three!
Yep, I'll eat soups, stews, chilis all year round. Spaghetti too. Also will eat traditional breakfast/dinner foods any time of day. I probably use my oven less in the summer, though.
Looks like I'll be eating more soup in the coming weeks because my room mate doesn't want me using the oven before 6--and I like to be done eating dinner by 6. Says it heats up the house too much, whereas stove top cookery doesn't.
I love soups and stews and and chilis. If I waited until it was cold around here to eat them I would feel seriously deprived! Although there is something to be said for a nice cold gazpacho in the heat.

You know, I hear this all the time and it really seems to me like it must be an urban legend or people have really old ovens that aren't insulated or something. When I use the oven, the heat stays inside of it except for the brief moments when I open the door to check on or remove the food. In contrast, cooking on the stovetop heats the kitchen significantly.
To one can of Hormel (No Beans!) Chili, add onion, add cheese, heat in microwave, then eat it.
