Yeah, I thought so. The pups feel the same way. I have to almost push them out the door and they race back in as soon as they are done, then flop on the floor as if that two minutes in the backyard (which, with this humidity, resembles the tropical enclosures at the zoo) was the marathon of a life-time. Who can blame them?
In this heat I either like to BBQ or make a salad. Or, if you BBQ the night before, you can make a salad out of the leftover chicken. Or a rotisserie chicken. Or even leftover roast chicken if you are that crazy. I am.
And, if you are feeling creative, you can serve your salad in a tortilla bowl. Check out Ricardo Cuisine to see how to make tortilla bowls for your salads!
