Too hot

August 9, 2020

Far too hot, and no going out to hide in air conditioning. Still showers are possible, and watering the food gardens andnthe dog gets me a bit cooler. Unfortunately I had baking planned for today and a roast dinner. A friend’s birthday is this week and I wanted to bake for an afternoon tea. I will distance deliver tomorrow and there will be a virtual afternoon tea Tuesday. I have a lemon biscuit recipe I found online, which I made and I tried a second batch with lime. It seems lime is a much more subtle flavour so I will need to play with it to get it right, but I think it will be great if I can get it right.i had planned to make a quiche as well but after the first rounds it was just way too hot to keep the oven on. I am thinking salads and cold meat for the next few meals assuming the weather holds. Of course now I have planned for hot weather it will probably snow next week. It is a talent honest.

I would appreciate cooler weather, I have a lot of quilting I want to get on with. The new studio is a lot cooler than my old one, but even so there are limits. Of course quilting is preferable to piecing in the summer, who want to sit next to a hot iron atm?

Well with that said, why Yes I am distracted by the heat, I  am going to try sleeping. I wish you all luck I am sure you are all suffering with me. I would rather we were all comfortable but I guess suffering together has something going for it too.
