It's too hot to cook now. When it gets hot, I like to eat things like cherries, and mangoes, and avocados, and salad.
Umm, should I mention shrimp? Probably not.

My mother's mother was a wonderful cook. Oddly, my mother herself had the reputation in the family of being a good cook. My sister and I never figured that one out. One of those myths. First of all, how could anyone who was "allergic" to onions and garlic and all things with "roughage" (she spat out the skins of peas) cook good things? What she cooked was one reddish thing, one whitish thing, one green or green & orange thing. The green one was frozen peas, frozen string beans, or frozen lima beans. The green & orange one was frozen peas 'n carrots.

Sometimes she cut wedges out of iceberg lettuce and poured a vivid orange substance called (for some reason) French Dressing on them.

That same dressing was delicious on avocado halves with canned grapefruit segments in the hole. I'm not kidding. It sounds impossible, but it was delicious, I tell you, delicious. I wish I had some right now. I've never made it myself. I have my pride.
