During the summer I tend to eat more fresh veggies and fruits. I use the stove sparringly.
One of my favorites for a hot day is to do a loaf of french bread, a few different cheeses, some deli style green olives, cold cuts, sliced fruits and a chilled bottle of reisling or a fruity sangiovese. We eat with our fingers and nibble all evening.
SW - I'd be happy to talk food and wine with you any time, my friend.
In the real heat of the summer here--it can get 104 in the shade for a few weeks, we find ourselves only eating in the evenings or at night. We used to be vegans and/or vegetarians, but now we eat chicken and turkey and we have an electric grill or a over the stove thingee that can be used for a grill and that way or a microwave is how we do meat in the summer.
But a lot of times we have chumus and salads (you can buy them pre-cut and we've gotten lazy), other spreads like peanut butter (goes great with chumus or with mashed potatoes --though it sounds strange--(Thai cooking uses peanut butter also) pine nuts, grated carrot salads, carrot juice, lots of raw vegetables, lots of fruit, water melon is obligatory, so are cherries and grapes in season. Some soy burgers and micro waved or hard boiled eggs get added when we feel we need protein.
Most Middle Eastern cuisine is very heavy on salads.
My father's aunts would serve about ten to fifteen types of salad for a company meal, I wish I had that much energy.
Barbeque is the best but then you eat too heavy. Light cold fruit soups are delicious.
