Sometimes I Wonder Why<\/b><\/p>\n
I cook so frequently and so much.<\/p>\n
I mean, it’s great. <\/p>\n
I feed my folks. I accomplish things. I learn.<\/p>\n
But sometimes I feel like I’m missing something being in the kitchen so much. I know that other people don’t spend so much time cooking and I wonder how they do it. I wonder what they eat.<\/p>\n
Not that it is going to matter all that much, whether or not I come to a conclusion here.<\/p>\n
Because, change is coming, of course. Not the general change that is always coming for each of us — the specific change in cooking that comes with summer and warmer temperatures. For instance, I’m probably not going to be baking bread all that much when it is 80+ each and every day. Nor will I feel like launching into much cooking when we’ve returned from the pool and everyone is prowling around like ravenous bears.<\/p>\n
But I don’t want to eat hot dogs all summer, of course. I’d never do that, truly, and I shiver at the thought of that. I actually have a story about hot dogs and a mother that I knew who fed them daily to her children. I met her ages ago when I worked as a VISTA volunteer. But y’all don’t need that story because it is grody. We’re talking exponential yuck here.<\/p>\n
I’m curious. What are your strategies for warm weather cooking? What do you plan. How do you get it done? Websites, menus, recipes? <\/p>\n
I know that y’all have answers. You really came through on the margarita recipe!<\/p>\n
