what's for dinner?

august 99

August means oppressive heat for much of the country. Even those at the beach or lake have those days when the breeze fails to cool the kitchen and we need to cook early in the morning so that dinner can be cold by 6:30 pm. Meals need to be light as appetites wane and only something wonderful will make the family take notice. This is weather for reading in the afternoon or taking a siesta, not standing in the kitchen. Enjoy these meals and keep cool. We know your pain, and have these late summer menus to take you through till fall.
