Guest guest Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 QOTW: September 7th - 14th, 2008: 1. What has the weather been like in your region of the world? Hot! In the low 100's lately in the day time and it doesn't cool off in the evening until late. Maybe it will help the tomatoes. 2. Do you find that the weather conditions affect what you crave to eat or cook? Um, not usually. I don't like to bake when it is very hot though. Share some of your current cooking moods and what you have been making lately. Nothing out of the ordinary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 When it is hot as it has been here in s.e. MI, I try to prepare lighter dishes....but due to MS, at times have a difficult time even preparing anything because of how the heat and humidity affect how I feel. I'm more comfortable now that the weather is cooling down some. Relieved is more how I am now though. ---- feralvegetarian_moderators 9/7/2008 12:24:56 PM QOTW: Does the weather affect your cooking?

Guest guest Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 Sorry if my post went through funky - cats. Time for a new set of group questions of the week. Please share your thoughts when you can QOTW: September 7th - 14th, 2008: 1. What has the weather been like in your region of the world? Hot, humid, horrible. 2. Do you find that the weather conditions affect what you crave to eat or cook? YES Share some of your current cooking moods and what you have been making lately. Taco salad with home made corn tortillas Sandwiches, sandwiches, sandwiches or cold cereal Tortillas rather than yeast raised breads Cold cereal rather than oatmeal As for moods, I can't even think of cooking till the temperatures go down. No air conditioning in the kitchen and when I made Carl some macaroni salad last week, just a pot of boiling water made it 114 in there. Any higher and the thermometer would pop. If he wants hot food, he's either going to take a rain check or take me out. Anybody for peanut butter and jelly? jeanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've had a truly miserable summer up here in Scotland this year. We've had perhaps just 2 nice sunny weeks and the rest of the summer has been rainy, overcast and cold with temperatures in the 50s and lower 60s. I've had to turn my heating on already :-( > 2. Do you find that the weather conditions affect > what you crave to eat or cook? Definitely - this year my eating pattern has not changed at all between winter and summer - I've carried on eating hot soups and stews and I've craved comfort foods. I've hardly eaten any salad or ice cream at all this summer. > Share some of your current cooking moods and > what you have been making lately. I've been making good use of my crockpot to cook up those soups and stews. I cooked for 2 weeks, eating one portion and freezing the rest and that has kept me going for 3-4 weeks so far. I anticipate it will be another couple of weeks before I need to start cooking again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 > 1. What has the weather been like in your region of the world? I can sympathize with christie_0131. We also had a miserable summer here in northern British Columbia (Canada), just to follow a miserable spring and winter! It has been cold, cloudy and/or wet, and I can tell you dates we had summer (three days in early July and four days in mid-August). We had a garden-killing frost in late June and July, it was so cold. The leaves started turning colour in early August and we are well into fall now. It is quite possible we'll have snow before September is finished. Apparently we can blame the weather on " La Nina " this year. > 2. Do you find that the weather conditions affect what you crave to eat or cook? Yes - I usually eat more salads and stirfries in the summer but this year, I have been making mostly hot soups, stews and comforting casseroles. I've been baking more too over the summer, since it keeps the kitchen warm. > 3. Share some of your current cooking moods and what you have been making lately. I've been making Moroccan and north African style stews with loads of root vegetables lately. The cool weather makes me crave root vegetables, winter squashes and hearty leafy greens. My hubby and I just moved into the first house we ever bought, and last spring the former owners kindly planted a big garden for whomever was going to buy the house. I have a heap of turnips, carrots, beets, peas, beans, and cabbage to use so those are directing my meals right now. , " christie_0131 " <christie0131 wrote: > > > > QOTW: September 7th - 14th, 2008: > > > > 1.
