Did you know that the difference between 103 and 114 degrees is a feeling of cooling?!?! Hard to believe but its true. I went outside when it was 103 and thought "Wow......its cooling off!" Well, last night had a huge scare..........the air conditioner quit working........it was about 11:00........something we have dreaded.........So, of course couldn't do anything at that time of the night. We put every free standing fan we own in the bedroom.........shut everything up and went to bed. It actually wasn't too bad. I could hear our dog, Ben, whom is about 16 yrs old, pacing all around the house looking for a cool place to lay..........but he made it fine through the night. Our little maintenance man showed up at 7:00am.........thank goodness.........and replaced some part.........and away we went............COOL again! Thank goodness it wasn't any worse.
I just love pasta salads. For some reason.........men just aren't into them like women. All Bob can think about is potatoes and something fried................Pasta salads are great as you can really throw about anything you care to into them and its good. I especially love angel hair pasta. So here is one I do...........just make something up..........Take about 2 cups of cherry tomatoes, some olive oil, garlic, basil leaves chopped, some red pepper flakes, salt and pepper and Mix all of this in a large bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let stand at room temp for several hours. This makes it all juicy and the flavors blend. Just before time to eat.......boil up your angel hair pasta with a little olive oil and salt.........remember only takes a couple min to cook.........don't over cook........drain and add to the bowl.......stir gently and add about 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese and some fresh chopped basil............Great with some toasted french bread to sop up the juice.
