Today was the first day that really, truly made me feel like it was summer. Humid, suffocating, with just a hint of agony and despair. And it's only June 27th.
Another reason to dislike summer? Reruns. There are more and more original shows in the summer now, but it's rather depressing when your regular shows are in reruns for 2 or 3 months. Martha Stewart's show has been in reruns (it's not one of my regular shows but I tune in now and then), but starting July 16 she'll have two weeks of special "Martha's Summer Session" episodes, where famous chefs will come in and cook. Included: Mario Batali will make Shrimp From The Devil Priest, Michael Lomonoco will make Skirt Steak With Chimichurri Sauce, and Rick Bayless will make Jicama, Beet, and Orange Salad.
Other guests will include Sue Torres, Michael Schulson, and Scott Conant.
