Ok, please do not hate me for what I am about to write.

As many of you know, I do not love summer. I hate hot weather. I hate humidity.  I hate that I can never be comfortable in such weather. It has been hot in New England lately. Not as hot as it has been in Russia lately. But seriously. 90s + and tons of humidity. It does not cool down in the evenings, and when I leave my house at 6:15 in the morning it is already 76 degrees. Ew.

I love fall weather.  I love being able to cook properly again 🙂 I fear turning on the stove top or oven in this summer mess.

Here are some things I cannot wait to make:

my homemade macaroni and cheese (with tomatoes and homemade whole wheat bread crumbs!)

roasted chicken

chili

I will perfect Julia Child’s beef bourguignon

I cannot wait to make Mark Bittman’s pasta fagioli

Ramen (which I have missed so much!) with fresh veggies and an egg as toppings

Stove top oats

And so on. There is so much comfort food to make!

Ok, well like I said – please do not hate me for not loving summer. I’m going to enjoy the rest of this season now, the best I can!

Stay tuned for dinner, fresh tomatoes, etc.
