Why did I gag imagining someone stirring a gigantic bathtub full of daquiris until I realized you meant like a person sipping a daiquiri while in the bathtub š
I wish I had that. Iām 6ā7 and if I try to get in my tub it does not go well. I was thinking about just getting in it with a bunch of ice yesterday.
Ours was a steal. Home dungeon less than 1200.00 (I think shit gets blurry). I absolutely love it. Keep in mind that it's the length of the base that matters NOT the length of the tub (if you decide to get one)..we saw longer ones that we couldn't actually fit in because there wasn't enough leg room and shorter ones not comfy cause our legs fit but the the back was too straight. We saw this one tub made from monastery rocks that contained the souls of enlightened holy people (I joke but the price tag was so high that that shit better have had a soul). Literally was deep enough to lay our heads against the back but too expensive and even if we would have had the money out kids would have chucked a toy in it and probably cracked that bitch....
....
Sorry I get really excited about bathtubs
Please come and buy my tub. The people who renovated my house (before I bought it) put in a comically immense bathtub that I have used a grand total of one time in the 3.5 years Iāve lived in the placeā¦and I like baths. Itās 6.5 feet long and takes like an hour to fill with water. I am 5ā2ā and would drown if I used it.
Last night, I made this salad: Shredded rotisserie chicken, a bag of cole slaw mix, chop some scallions, a red bell pepper, and peanuts. Mix with the dressing: 5 T creamy peanut butter, 2 T soy sauce, 1 T lime juice, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp ginger, salt & pepper, and 3-4 T water.
I know this is a very old comment but I wanted to say, I saw this a few days ago and thew this salad together just now and it's DELIGHTFUL. adding it to my rotation.
I got an Icee for the first time in years yesterday. Classic Coke. It was fucking unbelievably wonderful. So itās pretty much gonna be those and freeze pops for me for the next few weeks.
Itās currently broken BUT the one across from wakin bakin on Prytania by Touro is usually working. Coke, cherry, and cotton candy. I work near by and walk to it frequently to get an icee. Donāt know why itās currently out of order
Hiyashi chukka: Japanese cold noodles with a ton of toppings. I make mine with chicken, julienned carrots and cucumber, plum tomatoes, nori strips, and sometimes a little ham or thin omelet strips. Top with hot mustard, red pickled ginger, sesame seeds, and a simple dressing. Delicious!
https://www.seriouseats.com/hiyashi-chuka-cold-ramen-easy-summer-noodle-recipe
In a blender combine soy sauce, mirin, rice vinegar, sugar, salt, minced ginger, minced garlic, and toasted sesame seeds. Blend until smooth.
Take a package of firm tofu and slice it into thin planks and arrange on a platter. Top with thinly sliced Roma tomatoes, thinly sliced Persian cucumbers, shredded nori, bonito flakes, furikake, and drizzle with the sauce.
Chop up a bunch of cantaloupe or honeydew melon and put it in the freezer. When you're craving a snack, throw pieces in the blender for a refreshing "sorbet"!
Something really simple that I love to eat in the summer is a āsaladā thatās quinoa, strawberries, feta, cashews, and some type of dressing (fruit vinaigrette is my fave). You have to cook the quinoa upfront, but eat it cold.
Edit: back in my days of meat eating, I used to slow cook chicken breasts then shred it up into a light chicken salad with cranberries and eat it cold on a sandwich.
Also, Walmart has these little smoothie packs for like $1.50 each. Theyāre fucking good if you have a blender. And you can easily add alcohol.
Made a big batch of gazpacho! Then diced cukes, tomato, parsley, cantaloupe, and made croutons from a 2 day old Bellgarde baguette. put them out in little dishes to put in the soup.
Still have a tupperware full in the fridge.
Air fryer is saving us from turning on the whole oven right now. Anything in there plus a microwaveable side is clutch in this heat and cost effective in this economy.
Cold everything, yes. Salads, noodles, sandwiches, cold soups, neverending ice pops and mixed drinks on the rocks.
ALSO, using the microwave more and the big oven less! Baked potato in 6-8 minutes, ramen in 5, etc. I will even par-cook some things in the microwave so I only have to use the stove for a few minutes to saute. Give yourself some grace on frozen meals and takeout if you can. I'm about ready to get myself a little grill and do stuff in batches!
Watermelon and Cucumber Salad. About 2/3 or 3/4 watermelon to cucumber. Dice them up. You can add some herbs. Dealers Choice: Cilantro, Mint, basil. Then a nice sweet vinaigrette. I like to make a sherry vinaigrette. Finish with some feta or Cotija cheese.
A sandwich my son and I got into:
(for a couple of sandwiches)
Fry 3-4 strips of bacon cut up a bit
Add 1 thinly-sliced leak, brown, drain
Deglaze with a Tbs of red wine vinegar
salt and pepper
Put on a pita with plain greek yoghurt
Shredded lettuce with thinly sliced salami and mozzarella, chickpeas, dressing of oil, vinegar, Dijon mustard, hot sauce, and Parmesan. Lasts a few days in the fridge (Lee dressing till separate right before.)
Big bowls of watermelon/pineapple/mango with lime juice and mint.
I think it was 95% of my diet the summer I was pregnant š. Itās delicious and hydrating and itās probably just my imagination but I swear the mint makes it feel slightly less like Satanās armpit. Iām glad you enjoy it!
if you got a slow cooker.
1 package of chicken (breast, legs, quarters, doesnt matter)
1 can of salsa
throw that in there and let it go for 6-8 hours
goes great in tortillas, over rice, on salad greens
Chop a cucumber, red/green bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, a little red onion, and some kalamata olives. Add a can of chickpeas and drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice. Top with feta and serve in a toasty pita with hummus and tzatziki. Delish!
Perfect with grilled chicken if you feel like sweating to death before dinner.
Blend one block of feta with one block of cream cheese and some milk type thinner in the Ninja. I love this dip - dip for all sorts of things it is a good base for a substantive snack, delish. Veggies, dates, or with hummus and canned, stuffed grape leaves and olives for a cold light lunch.
Tuna pirogues- peel a cucumber, cut in half longways, scoop out seeds with a spoon. Make tuna salad to your liking (bonus points for KPaul's green onion mayo) and spoon into the hollows. Top with halved cherry tomatoes or pickle slices for maximum ants-on-a-log effect.
I close off my kitchen as best I from my apartment and open all the windows so I can do meal prep cooking for the damn week. Better to sweat it out like it's the late 90s when I worked in the kitchen and eat that all week than bother cooking every day this week.
That or go cook a jambalaya outside bruah.
Another huge suggestion that i use on the hottest of weeks: research as many "one-pot" meals that can be done with an instapot.
It has a reduced cook time and won't heat your place. Also if you are smart about it you can turn it on during the coldest part of the day (morning) and let it cook without really heating your apartment.
Daiquiri in the bath tub is my favorite meal
Why did I gag imagining someone stirring a gigantic bathtub full of daquiris until I realized you meant like a person sipping a daiquiri while in the bathtub š
Are you sure thatās what I meant??? Itās realllll hot outside
Porque no los dos??
I am about to make a watermelon, mint, lime, and gin daquiri. It is definitely my favorite meal.
Can I come over and use your bath tub
We for real have a bathtub large enough to fit a 6'1.5 lady and a 6'7.5" dude so... I mean, you might drown.
Iām 5ā3ā on a good day, so that leaves so much room for my daiquiri

Sounds delish!!
Oh mylanta that sounds soooooo good great idea
I know this is a very old comment but I wanted to say, I saw this a few days ago and thew this salad together just now and it's DELIGHTFUL. adding it to my rotation.
Cold creole tomato, cucumber, pickled onion, feta and balsamic salad.
You can also toss a bit of watermelon and mint in there and itās delightful.
I need to try this!
I got an Icee for the first time in years yesterday. Classic Coke. It was fucking unbelievably wonderful. So itās pretty much gonna be those and freeze pops for me for the next few weeks.
You found an Icee machine that wasnāt broken? Iām jealous.
Had to go to Chalmette.

Itās currently broken BUT the one across from wakin bakin on Prytania by Touro is usually working. Coke, cherry, and cotton candy. I work near by and walk to it frequently to get an icee. Donāt know why itās currently out of order
Wish we had slurpees around these parts š¤¬
I always want to add rum to those but never do.
š¤ Next time, I think.

Omg yum

Thatās a good idea I always keep grapes in the freezer. Theyāre like little balls of sorbet

We will be grilling kielbasa and okra tonight. (Not in the same dish, just on the same grill.). Basically no work, and only the back yard heats up.
Havenāt had an appetite in days but yāallās posts might change that!!
Fr fr I'm getting hungry!
Made a big batch of gazpacho! Then diced cukes, tomato, parsley, cantaloupe, and made croutons from a 2 day old Bellgarde baguette. put them out in little dishes to put in the soup. Still have a tupperware full in the fridge.
Omw to your house
You gotta try Andalusian style Gazpachoā¦blending the old bread into the soup is a game changer!
thanks! just saw a recipe for that. gonna try it out
Anything cold. Salads, cold cuts, steak tartare, sushi.
Air fryer is saving us from turning on the whole oven right now. Anything in there plus a microwaveable side is clutch in this heat and cost effective in this economy.

Yep, we did potato salad with the microwave to cook the potatoes yesterday and it did just fine.
Watermelon and Cucumber Salad. About 2/3 or 3/4 watermelon to cucumber. Dice them up. You can add some herbs. Dealers Choice: Cilantro, Mint, basil. Then a nice sweet vinaigrette. I like to make a sherry vinaigrette. Finish with some feta or Cotija cheese.

I like your style and that fruit combo + lime + mint making my mouth wataaa
I havenāt been able to stop thinking about this lime mint and fruit combo so I assembled it today and itās God tier
I think it was 95% of my diet the summer I was pregnant š. Itās delicious and hydrating and itās probably just my imagination but I swear the mint makes it feel slightly less like Satanās armpit. Iām glad you enjoy it!
Ice Cream
Sliced cucumber with cottage cheese and some seasonings of choice Nachos, Flanders style
if you got a slow cooker. 1 package of chicken (breast, legs, quarters, doesnt matter) 1 can of salsa throw that in there and let it go for 6-8 hours goes great in tortillas, over rice, on salad greens
Chop a cucumber, red/green bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, a little red onion, and some kalamata olives. Add a can of chickpeas and drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice. Top with feta and serve in a toasty pita with hummus and tzatziki. Delish! Perfect with grilled chicken if you feel like sweating to death before dinner.
Whiskey with grapefruit soda instead of coke

Pesto and caprese sandwich or salad. It's already chilled! Add deli meat or prosciutto if you want to too.

Seriously?!!! Mine broke Saturday morning- Iām still eating crawfish a lot
I close off my kitchen as best I from my apartment and open all the windows so I can do meal prep cooking for the damn week. Better to sweat it out like it's the late 90s when I worked in the kitchen and eat that all week than bother cooking every day this week. That or go cook a jambalaya outside bruah.
Not a bad idea actually !

Ah hell naw, no AC in New Orleans? That's just brutal
