Cooking in summer

[Grandma Helen]

Do you do any special cooking over the summer?  Some people like to make salads and seafood and BBQ.  Tell us a little about your likes in summer dishes.

I do a lot of salads....tossed and pasta and potato salads. And I do a lot of grilling outside. Ribs and chicken mostly....and skewers of meat and veggies. I even grill fruit.

Fried fugu and durian. Sake chaser.

Cooking is not my forte but I tend to eat more or less the same things that I eat in the other seasons. The difference is that I use my broiler or my crockpot. Last weekend I cooked a 3.5 lb chicken in it and invited a friend over for supper and still have leftovers but I used some of it for sandwiches yesterday and today. If I had a grill, I'd probably do some sausage or kielbasy and summer veggies. I eat salads a few times a week usually at a fast food joint.

The thought of drinking something hot is not too appealing, but hey, I like my coffee, so I've been making ice coffee.  Yummy and refreshing!

I'm a big ice water fan.  I don't eat much ice cream anymore or that would be a favorite in this extreme hot humid weather we are having.  I don't cook much, even in the winter.

I had homemade ice cream last weekend.  I had forgotten how good it is.

Bob, that sounds like it was delicious.
