And...my air conditioning is broken! Which is normally no big deal. I like the heat. I live over a river. It's typically 10 or 12 degrees cooler over the river than it is just a quarter mile away. And I figure if I have to close my windows it might as well be winter time. I've been here 29 years and I don't think I've used the air conditioning more than 5 times.
But that doesn't mean I want to sit and sweat like a pig either.
So. I have a most awesome industrial strength ceiling fan!
I actually got it for the winter time to keep the heat from rising and collecting under my 12 foot ceiling. But it's nice in the summer heat. So. I get out of the shower and find...my ceiling fan failed! Story of my life!
So. I get dressed and head for the dollar store. Luckily enough they still had some fans!
I went over during the afternoon and hosed down L and stood her in front of a 4 foot fan for a half an hour. She didn't mind!
I like to prepare food seasonally. More than that I like to prepare food that suits the day. And what could be better than....
Well. To be fair, a gin and tonic is the quintessential summer drink. Or a bourbon rickey. Or a daiquiri. Or sangria! Even a pińa colada. I'm not a big fan of fruity cocktails but ya, that works on a tropical day. And there's always the (Bermuda)rum swizzle. Edited to add: How could I have possibly forgotten to include the Mojito in my list?!
And the *best* thing for dinner on a day like this? The very *first* thing that comes to mind?
Oh, and Home Depot has references to local electricians that service Hunter ceiling fans. It's not like I'm going to replace a $650 fan because the power switch broke!
