In spite of the hot weather I had to use my oven on several occasions this past week. We can only eat so many hotdogs, bacon and tomato sandwiches and salads.
This past week I heard something that really threw me for a loop. I thought I had pretty much heard it all from Grouchy Bear in his attempts to get his way regarding his desire for unhealthy foods — but this one took the cake.
In case you haven’t noticed, it’s hot outside. Really hot. There are many ways to stay cool (my favorite is to stay in the house), but if you’re one of those people who like to sit outside on the back porch or even work and play in the heat, here’s a list of cool drinks you may enjoy.
The Bear got his test results back from the VA this past Thursday, and it was a very funny experience.
Several readers called this week with praises for the “kitchen hints” that were featured last week. They asked for more and I will share one this week. I promise to try to add one occasionally along with the recipes so that everyone is happy.
Twenty people stood in front of five long folding tables in the Pharaoh Theatre parking lot with a plate of hot dogs in front of each of them. With temperatures close to 100 degrees and little cloud cover, it was not only the hot dogs that were piping hot.
It is certainly a little bit discouraging to be able to look outside at the beautiful flowers, green grass and beautiful trees and feel like a mole because the heat index is 108 degrees. It is discouraging because even a few minutes on the porch enjoying the beauty is enough to bring on a heat stroke.
To cut your grocery bill, buy fresh and cook from scratch.
Clients will often book an appointment for color when they actually want highlights. This can cause a bit of a clog in the day or result in a disappointed guest when there is not enough time booked out for a highlighting service.
This past week I have been organizing my winter stash of food. It is less expensive to buy the veggies and fruits now for canning and freezing.
