    It's hot and humid here in Georgia. The sad thing is we haven't had any rain to speak of in weeks. The farmers are hurting something aweful. You can expect cotton prices to soar as many of them can't even get a stand and may resort to growing soybeans. I guess I better get out there and do a raindance.

        Actually, I do them on wooden skewers, makes for a nice presentation. I also use balsamic vinengar to drizzle over them. Very yummmmmmmm. Sometimes I add strawberries and prosciutto if I have it. Homemade poppy seed dressing works well when I use the prosciutto too.

          I only do a few changes to the menu during the hot weather. I avoid fried foods, & things that require the oven.

          Otherwise grilled, and smoked foods are ok. As are some lighter ethnic items(thai, vietnamese, etc.) that are popping with heat and sweet.
          Just because you welded some shit together doesnt make it a WSM.

              Besides me vodka and mellon, I do a lot of grilling, usually served with a fresh salad, or fresh sliced tomatoes, sliced mozzerella, and basil, drizzled with balsamic vinegar.

              Of course, corn on the cob isn't out of the question. What I like to do is peel the husks back and remove the silk. Then sprinkle with some Mad Hunky, add a pad of butter, close the husks and wrap in foil, sealing it except for one end. In that end, pour a bit of beer, then seal that end, and place on the grill. Let it cook for 15 to 20 minutes, turning the husks a few times during the cook.

                  my grandma always made that... still does. i never liked anything with creme in it, so i never had it, but the people in my family that did loved it.

                    Here's my recipe for the chicken salad.. All you need to add is some fresh crisp romaine lettuce..




                    2 C's chopped smoked chicken
                    1/4 C chopped celery
                    1/4 C chopped green onions (stalk and all)
                    1/4 C chopped bell pepper
                    1 small can of black olives chopped
                    1 to 2 TBS dill pickle relish (this is to taste, add more if you like)
                    2 hard boiled eggs
                    1 fresh or pickled jalapeno fine chopped
                    1/3 to 1/2 cup of Mayo (Not Miracle Whip) as needed
                    Few squirts of mustard (To your taste)
                    Salt & CBP to your taste


                    Mix all ingredients except the chicken in a bowl.. Adjust to your taste.. Then fold in chicken when you are happy with the flavors..

                    Cover and let set in the frig for a few hours for the flavors to meld..


                    Everything chopped and ready to mix..





                    Mixed everything but the eggs and S&P...






                    Fold in the Mayo, Eggs, and a bit of Mustard we are ready for the frig..


                    that looks good.

                        My stomach tends to shut down when it gets hot out. I don't eat much in the summer time.

                        I do still like to drink, either an ice cold Oberon of sweet tea vodka and lemonade.

                            Got a quart mason jar in the freezer filled with dried mango slices soaking up some dark Costa Rican Rum. It's just waitin.
                            A great trick from my neighbor back in New Orleans.

                            Then firing up the boiling pot under the shade tree. With some spicy boiled shrimp, corn and potatoes. Good hot weather eatin!
