Food for thought
This week I learned to cook Matt's and my favorite meal: Chicken Bryan, Carrabba's style. It's what we have every time we go to Carrabba's, which is at least once a month, and I finally decided I should try to find a recipe for it - one of the reasons I love the internet. I found a version, cooked it up a few days ago, and yeah, verily, it tasteth heavenly. Any recipe that uses three sticks of butter, sun-dried tomatoes, and goat cheese is just bound to be good. Unhealthy, but good.
Alas I have not the motivation to cook so well every night when it is so beastly hot. I find my usual cravings for sweets are raised to the power of ten during summer, when visions of ice cream and popsicles dance in my head, and in an attempt to stave off Little Debbie binges I've been manically buying in-season fruit by the bushel (note to self: forget ambrosia - nectarines are the food of the gods).
It was so nice of God to make eating such a pleasurable experience, seeing as we have to do it anyway...





I've found buying frozen berry mixes can be a nice replacement for popsicles. Either eat them frozen right out of the freezer or throw them in a blender with some other fruit and plain yoghurt and you've got a nice cool smoothie.
But yes, that's the one nice thing about summer-all the delicious fruit coming into season. I've been gorging myself on watermelon the past week, with some cantelope on the side and a honeydew I need to chop up and eat.
