96 degrees @ 6 PM

Possibly hotter tomorrow.

So, I'm thinking, is this what coal & iron feel like as they enter the blast furnace?

The potted basil on my front porch (out of direct sun) has a thirst to rival mine.  Better keep it sated if I hope to make pesto later this summer!


If you are looking for a 2 ingredient, could-it-get-any-simpler, party appetizer--try this:

Hoisin Meatballs:

Go to your favorite grocery and buy a bag of premade, frozen cocktail sized meatballs (might I suggest Trader Joe's or GFS).  If you are fortunate to live near an oriental/specialty grocery (failing that, look in the "ethnic" food section of your old standby), buy a bottle of hoisin sauce.

Put the meatballs in a crockpot. Mix the sauce with about 1/2 of the same bottle of water (to clean out all the good stuff) and pour over the meatballs.

Crock on low for anywhere from 4 - 6 hours.  People will marvel at these tasty morsels.  Brought them to a party yesterday and they quickly disappeared to rave reviews.  Better make enough--don't say I didn't warn you!

Stay cool people!
