The Heat Is Coming This Wednesday

Noel7 — Mon, 04 Apr 2016 17:24:16 GMT

It's supposed to be at least 80 degrees where I am, up to the 90s in nearby areas

I will be going through recipes again, looking for something to make without using the oven.

THANK YOU to @mtc and others who turned me on to the joy of the Air Fryer, the Mini Cooker and the Pressure Cooker, all of which will offer me the luxury of cooked food without heating up my kitchen.

I thought we finally reached Spring; however, today we've been hit with continuous snow and sleet. Ugh. Just when you least expect it.

Hi there @3cupcakes

5" of snow omg, Mother Nature really is out of wack.

Last year was unbelievable for us, we had months and months of hot weather in San Francisco and that has never happened before, not in my lifetime. I'm trying to prepare, now.

We used to get 1 to 3 days of heat, my mother's go-to hot weather dinner became mine: a shrimp Louie. DH doesn't like shrimp so his comes with chicken

@3cupcakes Hi! I am somewhat well, other than some eye infection I can't seem to get rid of (along with the other life drudgeries we all encounter). I just hate dealing with snow. And on the way to work my warning light came on that one of my tires was low on air.

@Noel7 that would be nice ... a heat bubble.

Hi to you @Noel7!

Gosh, I remember the news reports of your last years weather & that kind of non-stop heat is really yucky. At least here, at some point, the snow will stop this month....or so we hope! LOL.

But you are wise to prepare for another go around, just like that old saying "prepare for the worst & hope for the best".

now, you must tell me, what is a shrimp Louie?

Noel7, thank you for mentioning the Air Fryer. I will have to give it a try when the weather hits 100 in the south.

Re: The Heat Is Coming This Wednesday

3cupcakes — Mon, 04 Apr 2016 19:11:18 GMT

Gosh, @Karnerblue, I hope your eye infection is gone soon! It has to make driving on snow even yuckier....& driving in snow plenty yucky all by itself.

i get that tire warning too all darn winter here. For some reason, the bitter cold sets the one on my truck off, but I don't dare ignore the thing no matter how much it goes off.

sods law that the one time I ignore it, I'll have an big issue. 😜

safe travels on your ride home!

Hey Noel! I'm cryin' right there with ya. I HATE the heat. It's only been 60s to 70s here, so far, but that is too warm for me.

Hope you have good cooling!

@3cupcakes

OK!

There is probably an original recipe somewhere, I will look, but the real name would be a Crab Louis, (pronounced Louie), then came the shrimp Louis.

A bed of torn lettuce or other greens, then placing other things around or on top of it, in clusters:

Classically, there is always a helping of cold asparagus, baby tomatoes and at least one hard boiled egg.

I add a mound of sliced avocado, and one of chickpeas and one of red kidney beans. The shrimp or crab is centered, as above.

Then you drizzle or give a side of Louis dressing. I will give you the traditional SF recipe from 1915 on the next post.

I just mix Ketchup and mayo with a little pickle relish or Worcestershire, whatever I feel like at the moment. Heavier on the Ketchup. I go by color, you can go by taste til you are familiar with it.

Or use your favorite dressing.

I'll take some of that heat here in NE Ohio, please. Our baseball home opener is today at 4:10 p.m. and we've been having snow flurries and wind. They were telling people going to the Indians game to dress like they are going to a Browns game!

Gee, i didn't know the snow was still happening. Are you all East Coast?

Re: The Heat Is Coming This Wednesday

Noel7 — Mon, 04 Apr 2016 22:59:43 GMT

OK, I've created a file in order to be prepared for the hot weather;

Lots of salads that include protein or which could be easily added, cold drinks, recipes for frozen Yonannas, other fruit recipes and sandwiches.

Whew!

@Noel7 Dare you tell us what general area you're in? If you say Minnesota, I'll really be impressed. If it's Florida or Texas, not so much.

Re: The Heat Is Coming This Wednesday

momtochloe — Mon, 04 Apr 2016 21:42:12 GMT

@Noel7 oh my goodness it is way too warm for April in your area (and I was feeling sorry for myself the other night when the temperature didn't drop below 60 and I was roasting) . . . thanks for that Shrimp Louie recpe, looks delicious!

I dare

I'm in Fog City. San Francisco, not known for its hot weather until last year.

Our "summer" is September/October. But that never meant solid days of really hot.
