Holy Freaking Hot Weather

This is how we've been cooking dinner lately:


It is positively too hot to cook in the house. Yesterday was the hottest day recorded in Corvallis EVER at 108. This was the temperature in the sun room two days ago.


The rest of the house got up to 92 at one point. This is ridiculous.

When my parents came to visit for my birthday this weekend my mom brought me some wonderful squash from their garden.


We've pretty much just been eating some form of this meal all week. (Except for Aomatsu for my birthday dinner!) Fresh summer squash, basil from the garden, tomatoes, garlic, feta and Parmesan over pasta.


Tonight, more food from my garden: snow peas, zucchini, salad (if it hasn't gone totally bitter from the heat), and eggplant from a friend. No complaints about that!

Holy Moly! I hope things cool down quickly in your house, now that things will be a wee bit cooler outside!

We BBQ'd once, eat sandwiches once, and made quesadillas tonight. Still heated up the kitchen.

Happy belated birthday! I hope this next year is better than the last.

Ah the heat! Scares me because it seems so unnatural for the Willamette valley! Yummy garden dinners though!
