WOW. Please, please be careful of the heat. The fun-loving folks at ThinkGeek did an experiment with packaged cookie dough: they cut it up according to the package directions, arranged the pieces on a cookie sheet, and baked some very good chocolate chip cookies BY LEAVING THE PAN ON THE DASHBOARD OF A CAR. What the temperature was, they can’t be sure: the in-car thermometer, in their phrase, “crapped out” at 157.5°. And they’re in Fairfax, Virginia! (I was going to add a link to this but it turns out you all know about it already.)
Did you know that avocados have more potassium than bananas? More fat, too, more’s the pity, but the highest protein content of any fruit. Fooducate has a great infographic about avocados, including a great guacamole recipe. Chow.com has a pile of “recipes for fresh summer corn”, another of dessert recipes involving summer berries, and a third with the incredibly appealing heading “Cold Dishes For Hot Weather”.
Summer Tomato has a list of “10 Simple Kitchen Tips You Wish Someone Had Told You Earlier”. (The food-safety people will tell you “Don’t chop vegetables on the same cutting board you use for meat”, but no one will warn you “Don’t cut fresh fruit on the same cutting board you use for onions and garlic”.) Simply Recipes has a delicious and ultra-simple fruit salad recipe at 2 PointsPlus per serving.
This Saturday is both Macaroni Day and Grand Marnier Day. Also Bastille Day (ça ira!). The day after, being the third Sunday in July, is Sundae Sunday! It is also St. Swithin’s Day: of St. Swithin I know less than nothing, but of St. Swithin’s Day I’ve been told that whatever weather we get on that day will continue for the next forty days.
'St. Swithin’s day, gif ye do rain,
for forty days it will remain;
St. Swithin’s day, an ye be fair,
for forty days ’twill rain nae mair.'
And one week from today, the 18th, is National Caviar Day. Did you know that a one-tablespoon serving of caviar has only 40 calories? And one-third of your daily allowance of cholesterol?
