Seattle set a new heat record of 93 degrees on Sunday, the hottest day of 2018 so far. It's going to be above 90 again today, then finally cool down somewhat by the end of the week. Not a drop of rain in sight, so watering by hand and sprinkler is a big daily chore.
The house is hot and stuffy at night even with the windows open so it's hard to sleep, at least for those of us who are sleep-challenged anyway. Some lucky people could sleep in an oven through a hurricane. I guess they don't feel obligated to solve all the problems of the world in one night. Sleep-deprived or not, a busy week is shaping up for me, with some fun and other not-so-fun things to take care of each day.
Well. Enough complaints for one Monday morning.
Still too early for this! Thank you, John, for the unflattering photo taken on my new iPhone. Realism is overrated.
Cooking is a challenge on these hot days. Yesterday I roasted a whole chicken on the grill.
It sounds ambitious but is surprising easy with the indirect grilling method. A medium chicken takes just over an hour, about the same time as an oven if you don't open the lid too often. We had it for dinner last night with some light German potato salad. Perfect meal for a hot night. Tonight the leftovers will be just as good with some corn on the cob.
