Hot Out? Take Out!

 Most of the wrls is literally burning up right now. The temps are high. Spirits are low. Who want's to cook? No one.It's time to take out.

That's my philosophy. Normally I would make any kind of salad for a ninety plus degree day like today. ecept I wasn't even into chopping veggies. This is where my local Subway comes in.

It's just easier. They create a vegan garden style for me with sliced tomatoes , tangy vinegar soaked green peppers which take like relish and sliced olives. It was just a quick, no fuss dinner. Keep in mind that you don;t have to have a hot burger and fries. Any one of the fast food restaurants, from Wendy's to McDonald's have a variety of different cold, fresh  salads. Wendy's has brought out their famed strawberry salad again for cool summer eating. Have it with one of their lemonades. With McDonald's finish with a frosty Coke  slurpee. Go visit your local hot do vendor and get a garden dog  along with a  chilled birch or root beer.Don't  bother getting hot, Italian  Chinese or Indian take out. Save those for cooler fall days.

You could push yourself to make a salad. I just combined fresh Roma tomatoes with purple basil which has a sweeter taste than regular basil. I'ts just chopping both with garlic and adding olive oil, salt  and pepper.This will be a quick side with the sandwich but also the main dish for tomorrow's Sunday supper. I just have to add some sliced Italian bread drizzled with olive oil to round it out.

It's hot. Don''t cook. Get a simple hero or a salad. Make a salad if you feel a bit ambitious. Just enjoy a cool meal on a sweltering day.
