You sound like you are fully prepared for meals for the next several days. :)Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-44634440048679656762018-07-09T13:54:35.100-07:002018-07-09T13:54:35.100-07:00With the new diet I am eating, I like to prepare m...With the new diet I am eating, I like to prepare my meals on the weekends ahead of time so that I only need to warm things in the microwave. It sounds to me like you have lots of leftovers in the fridge to throw together several meals this week. I presently have a cheesy broccoli and cauliflower casserole cooking in my electric roaster outside on the front porch, but I will eat it with a breast of chicken that I baked yesterday. Tomorrow I will likely eat the cabbage I cooked yesterday with some fried ground meat. I have made a chicken vegetable soup for lunches. (I will put in the freezer what I do not finish). If there are no leftovers to heat up, most of the time I also have available canned tuna or salmon, cottage cheese, boiled eggs, deli slices, kielbasa, hard cheese, yoghurt and frozen berries on hand for a cold lunch or dinner.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11631937559197478236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-54420593139814545222018-07-09T09:53:13.436-07:002018-07-09T09:53:13.436-07:00There are designated cooling centers here - places...There are designated cooling centers here - places like the library, recreation centers, senior citizen centers, etc. Some of them stay open for extended hours during heatwaves. The mall is another popular spot when it gets hot, and, of course, the beach!Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-18053303545422066142018-07-09T03:58:37.018-07:002018-07-09T03:58:37.018-07:00I remember growing up with no AC and we would look...I remember growing up with no AC and we would look for places to visit that did have it. One of them was the movies. It wasn't too expensive and gave us a couple of hours out of the heat. Of course, we never saw first run movies or even second run movies, but it was cool.

Friend M will set it up for me one of these days, when I ask him to. It will cool the bedroom on the days when temperatures soar to 110F and higher (later in the summer/early fall). But, it won't cool the kitchen or the rest of the house. What I have are fans - ceiling fans in the bedrooms, stand fans in the family room and living room, a table fan in the kitchen.Blesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369267622517848850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162428932122354536.post-28506755138729086342018-07-08T17:00:37.935-07:002018-07-08T17:00:37.935-07:00I agree that it is too hot to cook.
