Heat Effects

Oof. I think I’m having a weather related identity crisis. Something in me had the brilliant idea to make corn chowder with the corn that we stowed in the freezer last summer, since in a few weeks there will likely be more corn to be had at the farmer’s market. But then it got ungodly hot and humid this weekend, and soup isn’t really the most craved food item when it’s hot, now is it? But make it, I did, and it toasted up the kitchen something fierce and then we put it in the fridge for leftovers and made pasta and sugar snap peas instead because it seemed so much more appropriate for a warm summer night.

In addition, I got way too excited about some wool at the fabric store a couple of weeks ago, and am on my way toward making a simple wool blanket out of some of it. I remember seeing somewhere a year or two ago blankets made of squares of wool pieced together and used as one layer, with the raw edges on one side as a design element, and I’ve wanted one ever since. But again. It’s summer. Who makes wool blankets in the summer?

Cinnamon ice cream is the only thing that makes sense in times like these.
