Too Darn Hot To Cook Recipe Round Up

The weather predictions for as far as the eye can see is more of the same hot,  humid and dry weather most of the country and much of the world has been enduring the past two weeks.

    *Sigh*

In other words, it is going to be too darn hot.

You know, I really don’t feel like even looking at a stove on days like this. Do you feel the same way? Or is it just me?

I mean the temperature and heat already sap 85% of my energy. Don’t have much energy left to cook. And I don’t want to be standing over a hot stove when the temperature is so darn hot.

Neither do I want the expense of eating out all the time either.

Now for your hot summer day entertainment,  a video of the song, “Too Darn Hot” from the musical Kiss Me Kate.

The quality of this video is not too great. However, the singing and dancing are top rate; FAR better than any of the other videos I have seen; far better too than any of the several versions  of Kiss Me Kate I have seen live.

This is from the many awards winning 2001 Broadway revival of Kiss Me Kate. The great choreography and pulsating energy level of the singers and dancers makes this version a standout. Enjoy.

Quote of the Day

Heat, ma’am! it was so dreadful here, that I found there was nothing left for it but to take off my flesh and sit in my bones.
