Air conditioners fail in summer, furnaces fail in winter. I know we
feel very paranoid about it, but they fail when we are USING them.
Ours was 33 years old, installed when our house was built. It should
not have surprised us since it lasted 10 years past its expected life span.

I don't like gazpacho but I think it's great against the hot weather. I have
begun again to breath only this afternoon because a big thunderstorm was
raging on our valley. I went on the mountain near our house to the Toma
Feast at Usseglio (near Turin), Over 1600 mt. and I have buyed a lot of
good cheese. I have also buyed a cow salami (with few fat) which is like a
"Cotechino"; you must cook it for an hour and then you eat it with polenta
or purèe. Very very good!!
Ohhh! it was so fresh up there

San Francisco in the summer can be downright cold!!!!

There is a quote that has sometimes been attributed to Mark Twain, but
I don't think it is from him.

"The coldest winter I spent, was a summer in San Francisco".

I'd always heard regarding English summers, that you hoped summer fell
on a weekend.

Obfood: dinner: Salisbury steak, rice with green peas and a mixed baby
green salad dressed in olive oil and seasoned rice wine dressing.

Would have had a nice big gin and tonic except someone liberated my gin
(without telling me nor asking!) for a party elsewhere.....grrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Why is it that they want you to stay out of their stuff yet everything
you own is automatically "theirs"? I don't get it.

We've gone from record-setting heat (97°F/36°C) to near-record rainfall
in 10 days. Most of the houses here do not have air conditioners, so
you just turn on the fans and sweat a lot. July is normally the dry
season in Seattle. Friday the rain held off until just as I was putting
my bike back in the garage after riding home. Yesterday it held off all
day until we were about finished with our shopping at Pike Place Market
(see conch chowder thread for details).

Yesterday was gorgeous here too so I did some yard work in the
afternoon and grilled pork chops later on, the thin ones too much and
the thicker ones perfectly. When I grill, I do enough for several
days so I've got tonight's supper covered.

Today looks to be more of the same weather, but with the yardwork done
I'm going to relax on the back porch and go through my mountain of
junque mail and papers to file. Tonight it will be cool enough to use
the oven so I've got a batch of the no-knead bread dough bubbling
away.

For short distances. Anything over about 20 miles requires
planning and the promise of a cold drink at the end.

No, but I wear Lycra(R) Spandex[TM] just about every day.

This weekend in Chicawgo was so cool - ish that I made a big crockpot
of lamb stew, something that's hardly mid - summer fare...

Never made it before, it was a big hit...

Europeans in general cannot even grasp the *concept* of aircon, let
alone apply it...I guess it's too similar to the concept of iced
drinks.

Spent much of last week on the Jean (Nevada) dry lake bed. 85-90F at
sunrise. Reached 110-114F (in the shade) most days around 1-3 pm.
Humidity only 11% but still not pleasant. I was very glad to get back
to balmy temperatures of around 90F in western Kentucky.

Food topic: Am picking and eating fresh tomatoes every day now.
Dinner tonight was Mexican lasagna: flour tortillas, ground beef with
spices and tomatoes, more tortillas, topped with cottage cheese and
egg and jack cheese. Bake, then top with plenty of chopped fresh
tomatoes and more cheese and olives and sweet vidalia onion. I ate
two large helpings, consoling myself that there was a large vegetable
contingent in the dish.
