THURSDAYS 438 - lets stay cool in the shade

I'm cookin'........

There's beer-butt chicken cookin' on the grill. Making some angel hair pasta with a creamy garlic and parsley sauce, peas, and also diced cantaloupe for dessert (if there's any room left for dessert). Lemonade, iced tea, or whatever your poison to wash it down. There will be plenty of everything, so come join in.

Sounds yummy, and would make me horribly sick in real life (too many allergies in what you listed) so I'll have some here - and a big glass of cold iced tea! Got raspberries in the fridge, we can add some of those to the cantaloupe, and be extra fancy, how's that?

Can't you even eat the chicken??? I just checked on it - lookin' and smellin' good!
Raspberries with the melon sounds yummy. Wish I could find some berries reasonably priced, but they're so expensive - right now anyway. I got 2 melons at my favorite farm stand a few days ago. I call them Monster Melons, or melons on steroids - they each weighed almost 10 lbs. That's the only place I'll buy them since discovering this place a few years ago.

The chicken - as long as there's no marinade involving olive oil, canola oil or corn oil, no garlic ... Just plain chicken IS Karen-safe. For family events, my brother marinates some chicken chunks in a separate bag with ginger and soy sauce, and that gets its own skewer and spot on the grill. Yup - I iz spoiled!

Oh well - that leaves the beer-butt chicken out for you too. Iced tea and melon a'plenty tho.........

Here at Thursdays, there's no allergens in anything, so I'll have some chicken, no worries! In real life I cannot eat the cantaloupe, either!

Beer in the rear chicken and some potato salad and cherry limeaide for me, please. I made the mistake of checking the 10 day forecast. No break from the heat in sight.

Moff, c'mon up North! It'll be warm, but with intermittent thunderstorms, and it cools right down at night! Here's out 10-day:

or come out west - we had record rainfall today at my company picnic which was of course outside at a park. We get one nice day tomorrow and then its back to April weather again.

On the plus side, I'm growing lettuce that is doing great so I'll make a salad to go with the BB Chicken.

I'm melting..... mel...ting!!! gasp gasp

I'd love a strawberry malt to melt along with me.

Hot and gettin' hotter!!! At noon it was 95 with a heat index of 105. Wonder what it will top out at??? Headed for the 100's by Thursday. I'd rather deal with snow!

Went to the farm market earlier and picked up more cantaloupe, and lettuce and tomatoes too. I'll be living on L & T sandwiches till this heat breaks - can't stand hot meals when the weather is like this.

So help yourselves all - a plate of sandwiches and a huge bowl of diced melon ready for the taking.

Are there any wine coolers around here anywhere, or maybe some Sangria, or did Orc polish it all off??

Stay safe and cool everyone.
