Baby, it's too Darn Hot..

.. to cook anything! Haven't baked a thing in weeks, even simple hot foods like rice, or pasta, require far too much energy and effort for this Brooklyn Summer heat ( oh, and I know, the worst is yet to come..)
So I have reduced my menu to a frozen array of things to graze on throughout the day:



That's right! Frozen blueberries, bananas, Haribo Gummy-bears, grapes, and Jell-o.. Well, the Jell-o I don't freeze, but I guess I could.. Though not pictured, but a staple to this well balanced diet, a Hazelnut Ritter Sports Milk Chocolate Bar.. Tastes like frozen heaven.
Other chilled, but not frozen items I have been enjoying these days include, but are not limited to: Dill Pickles, thin sliced Turkey, celery, salsa, apples, more grapes, hard boiled eggs, and more.
Basic summer recipe: take anything you might want to eat, make it 50%-ish colder than it was originally, and enjoy- it will taste at least 95% more delicious than it would have been hot!
