'air on'???? What's with this 'air on' biz?
Air conditioning
The temps you've mentioned
means it hasn't hit the ton yet.
Cobbler isn't too bad, only takes 20 min. Make it in the afternoon when
things start to cool down and you can open all the windows. At least
that's what I do, but my low tonight is 52F. Charlie Underlog, and Bill
Who Putters are looking at 72F for a low tonight. Makes me faint to
think of it, and I sleep next to an open window, which, thanks to my
diuretic, I'm awake enough to close when it gets too cool at night.

The night time Temperatures are around the 70s lately. It is the hottest
summer in decades. I turn the "Air" off when temperature gets below 85F. I
completely understand how you feel when it comes to taking those diuretics


And that list of food is winter fare IMO. Here, when it does get hot,
summer food is BBQ or cold meats or grilled meat (broiled in USian think)
and salads - nothing at all that requires the oven to be on. Dessert is
fruit salad or icecream but mainly no dessert at all because it's too darned
hot to add food to a stomach that then generates heat in the digestive
process.

Normally yes, it is winter food. But with the air conditioner on that runs
about two weeks a year. The humidity inside the home is low that winter
food does not seem bad. I also made a batch of fudge, humidity wreck havoc
on making good fudge.

But like I said the deck was tooooo hot for grilling. Summer is also for
bare feet, forget those shoes.

I'll sometimes boil potatoes of an evening for potato salad the
following day. My potato salad is at least 50% celery, radish, green
onion, and pickles with the odd bit of lettuce lining the bowl which is
thrown in for the presentation. Desert is often fruit, and cheese.
Cooking during the day is out during the summer, but helps warm the
house during the winter.

The only lettuce that is good was the Butter Crunch Bib lettuce, all other
lettuces tasted hot and strong, I pulled it the most of it. Same with the
neighbors about there lettuce, the extra hot summer seems to have an effect
on lettuce. But I surprised it had no effect on the bib lettuce, tasted
very good.

Potato salad sounds good for tomorrow, left overs today... The cobbler was
good.

Nad has just moved to the country, it may take awhile for him to find
the rhythm.

I am going on my thirteenth year now, I am have pretty much settled into
the country lifestyle. I can tell by the way I drive, slow and looking at
the scenery, people passing me by, yep I am now a country driver, gone are
the bumper riding, speeding, hard accelerating mad man
