Long Beach has been reaching one hundred degrees which means I refuse to turn on the oven and cooking becomes exhausting before it has even begun.

And then I remembered fresh basil in the windowsill and a panini press in the cupboard. Inspiration comes easy in the heat.

Cold salad, cold fruit, and a warm sandwich is a definite hit for a school night dinner.

Did I mention dessert? Ice cream sandwiches from SF.

Don’t you just love the title. Sums up how I feel, including the period.
