With the heat wave continuing on, with little relief from the high temperatures in sight, we need to think of things to do that will cool us down. And by "things to do," I mean "things to eat." When it's hot out, it's hard to muster up the energy to cook and air-conditioned restaurants start to look very tempting, especially if you live in an area that is dealing with a power crunch.
With temperatures well over 100F, even reaching above 110F, I've been relying on salads and cold drinks, like iced tea and blended coffee drinks, though I have gone through quite a bit of very spicy salsa (on the cooling down by heating up theory), too.
What are some of the foods that you're eating that keep you cool when it gets hot out? Gazpacho or another chilled soup? Refreshing agua fresca? Watermelon?
