Hubby has to work in rooms with hot machines, and yesterday, he almost got sick twice. I told him to request an ice jacket (vest filled with ice) today. Some machines can be from 130° up to 700-800°F. He is requesting those jobs be delayed by a day today. He was so sick when he got home, all he could eat was the blueberry bread I made. So glad I made it.
Our daughter's school has AC, but the school buses do not. We are not used to having heat waves in fall, and she has a black school uniform (pants). No time to change to shorts on the way home either. She came home miserable too and went straight to the couch.
Update on our Moroccan Creole garlic - horrible harvest. The cloves are the smallest of all small. Too small to plant, so it won't be continued here unless I purchase some for fall planting.
On a "happy" note, the heirloom green bell peppers are starting to produce a few. We got more rain with the heat, so I am anticipating some going in the freezer.
This weeks breakfast was created with garden bell peppers, garden potatoes, a few hot peppers, onion, sausage and eggs.
I was low on certain baking ingredients, so I went fishing online for a blueberry cake/bread that didn't have butter. I made AllRecipes blueberry bread I recipe, adding a bit more blueberries and added cinnamon and nutmeg.
Your probably wondering how all this cooking and baking can be done when the heat index is 101°F? I would have felt horrible if I didn't have a treat for my husband and daughter to come home to, or a meal.
I finished another Harley Davidson inspired lapghan. It's up for sale.
Tiger stole my chair.
Dinner last night - baked lemon pepper/garlic flounder (homemade lemon pepper), with pearl couscous (zucchini, onion, basil and tomatoes from the garden). It was very good, but not something for Hubby. It's packed in his lunch today, but he may not be able to eat it with the heat. These were perfect to cook together. Other than cooking the veggies before, the fish and couscous only took 10 minutes to make.
