The Wire

Still too damn hot to cook. Here’s a few links to help you beat the heat.

The quick and the red

On days when the fan is going full blast, when pants come off before the door even shuts behind you, when the cat is doing her damndest to become one with the floor: these are days where boiling a pot of water is as close to cooking as you want to get.

Little green monsters

This is a strange admission for a food blogger to make, but I don’t exactly have the world’s most adventurous palette. I’m certain I’ve mentioned this little factoid before, but it’s a recurring theme in my life (and it extends to other facets of life, like music, books and film; but I digress). The pattern is usually the same. I greet new things with indifference, if not outright hostility. Eventually, I’ll cave to pressure and give the item a half-hearted sampling. Then, if I like what I taste/see/hear, I will embrace the former object of suspicion with the zeal of a convert. It has happened before, it will happen again.
