Down here in RI, it's just as hot, and really sticky, even out in the boondocks where I live. I could certainly use some cooling-off. I'm not much of a cocktail drinker, I prefer an ice-cold beer if I'm indulging in alcohol, but Cool Waters sounds delightful, right up my alley. Bring on the refreshment!

pick me! pick me! I will take either book really. The cool waters one looks calming and probably good for me. The party drinks looks like fun and I do enjoy a good cocktail!

Gillis - I LOVE tabbouleh! I scoop it up with crackers and eat it until my stomach hurts. With iced mint tea... mmmm I want some right now!

BGrahamLax - tomatoes & mozzarella is SO good and I never thought of chunking them up. Great idea for couch eating!

LOVE LOVE LOVE cold brew coffee!

tabbouleh. the version i make has to be made a day in advance, because you don't cook the bulgur (you just let it soak up the olive oil and lemon juice and tomato and YUM). i also make sure that there's about twice as much tomato as there is onion or parsley. but when it's crazy hot out, NOTHING is as refreshing as eating a nice bowl of tabbouleh, maybe with some iced tea on the side.
and ice cream. apparently massachusetts has the most ice cream consumption per capita of any state? i'd believe it. soc's in saugus (HUGE chunks of cookie dough in their cookie dough ice cream!) and louie's in somerville are both great.

One of America's health problem is obesity, it's because there are ingredients that are not good for us and people tend not to tell others because it's their secret formula to success.

I also like this kind of spice rack.

Yes, that chick from Buffy the Vampire Slayer should have told Mz. Hostess that corn syrup is the main ingredient in MOST of her childrens' foods. Keeping America fat and unhealthy!!

Got a new stove myself (also from sears) a few months back and have been in lurv with it since. 5 burners, with a long center burner for stovetop griddles/grills (of which I have a fantastic cast iron one), and a true convection oven (I guess they have ones that aren't real convection, just a fan inside....real convection has elements in the fan as well). Anyways, I know the feeling....and it feels good!

Spice Rack
As of these days, its really hard to choose spice racks in the market. The availability of so many options help you think the best and compatible to your kitchen area. Piece of advice, make sure all the necessary spices are kept closed and away from the oven.

I can't imagine it's that hard to make Clay Pot-ted food. Maybe I should try.

I have this weird issue about eating bibimbap. I wonder if it would affect me with less-Korean versions of this dish.

How beautiful! I have to hunt for the standard jars at hardware stores. Sometimes, it's hunting around the forgotten shelves in supermarkets. Luvky you!
