More participants here at Sarcastic Mom Weekly winners
This week my "Weekly Winners" are rather short and simple, we have a heat wave and the whole country suffers !
It's over 32 °C (almost 90 F !) We are not equipped at all for such a heat in our usually rather rainy and cool country. The Red Cross and other organizations are underway to supply homeless or old people with water !
The tent of my cat Arthur is the ideal cover against the bright light
I moved my little office on the partly covered patio. Otherwise I would sit in a dark house with all shutters closed to keep the heat out.
When it's hot like this we are not very hungry either, but salads of all kind are welcome.
That's what I prepared yesterday. I grilled zucchinis and red, green and yellow peppers with some herbs and spices.
cooked pasta, it looks like rice, but isn't
grilled shrimps
put all together with Balsamic vinegar and olive oil
and when it was ready it looked like this.
BTW I grilled and cooked EVERYTHING in my microwave, that way I didn't use one single pan or pot and it wasn't hot in the kitchen either and of course it went very quick.
Your salad look delicious!
ReplyDeleteBeing from Florida 32C is normal for this time of year, but if you're to accustom to the heat, it can be oppressive.
I hope it cools off for you soon. (I love the tent you made for your computer.)
Yes, I thought it was rice at first sight! The vegetables look delicious. Love the way you made good use of the tent you borrowed from your kitties! Hahaha! Very creative!
ReplyDeleteLove your new 'office space. Hope you can keep cool!
ReplyDeleteI love your little computer tent! That's a great idea.
ReplyDeletewow, that looks yummy.. that must be a very good microwave who could also grill ;) lucky you.. but you are right that way you don't stay in the kitchen at all!
ReplyDeletelove your little office.. good thing you have that patio covered, now you see how useful it is.
Yes, difficult to keep energy with a such temperature!!! Your cooking looks so yummy!!! You make me hungry, Gattina! I posted finally something on my blog! I'm on holiday since yesterday and it's the big comeback on the blogsphere! Juny is a busy month for teachers but now all is ok!

ReplyDeleteI made chicken noodle soup and houmous and it turned out very good.
Now I want to make liverworst with chicken livers. NOthing like home made.The little chopper I bought works so well and makes just enough for a meal.
That's WAY more cooking than I do when it'd hot, AND it looks delicious!!
ReplyDeleteOh, and the computer tent? Brilliant!

Clever use of the Cat Tent!
ReplyDeleteYour Arthur's tent for your computer is so funny. I hope you have some left overs. I am coming over for tea. Your food is so yummy and colourful too.
ReplyDeleteIt's terribly hot here today too. I feel like a wet rag! I think a nap is in order!
ReplyDeleteNiiiice tent! I envy you that one! But we don't have that ho here at the island - we have the sea breeze here. Probably in Stockholm though. The food looks yummy!
