Late Summer Dishes

This weekend, we nearly reached 100 degrees. When it gets that hot, the last thing I feel like doing is using the stove, oven, or even the grill. Our Sunday meal was a “no cook” meal with fresh fruits and veggies, red-pepper hummus, almonds, cheese, beef jerky (gourmet…not Slim Jim), and a fresh heirloom tomato. Add a chilled dry rose and it was perfect!

Also, a colleague at work was kind enough to give us a bottle of Mama Sita’s, his favorite hot sauce from the Philippines. I sprinkled poured it on Cajun shrimp and creamed grits last night with a side of roasted veggies and hummus. The taste is wonderful, but the heat isn’t for the light-hearted! Thanks for sharing this with us, Andy!
