In hot weather, I do as most people do, and I try to make food that
doesn't require heating the kitchen up too much. Tuesday, it was caesar
salad and a huge tray of yummy fruit. Yesterday, lovely sandwiches on
ciabatta rolls -- fresh mozzarella, heirloom tomatoes, roasted peppers,
thai basil. Yummmmmmm. Along with a perfectly ripe white peach and an
equally perfect mango, and some good olives. Then for dinner, some
potato salad I made using the pressure-cooker to boil the potatoes. It
goes much faster, so it heats the kitchen up almost not at all.

We can't decide if we're being simple or elegant. We don't much care. We
ate our sammiches on paper plates, but we felt all extravagant. Not bad.
