It was so hot that my dinner was a giant strawberry smoothie.

I still had some strawberries. And I had several choices for a dinner.
I have rice, Chinese chopsuey, a small steak and minestrone.
But I´m also soaked. In spite of having a fan, the heat is so great that I don´t want to eat anything that is warm.
So I looked into the fridge and found the rest of the strwberries. And I opened that last liter of milk.
I have the suspicion that I will have to buy groceries in spite of my wishes.
Still I will stick to a list with only what I really need
Now I will watch TV for a while while I enjoy the fan.
See you later

I'm glad you made something that appealed to you on such a hot day. Even when it's hot, you still need to eat.

I know. Beffore, I had a sandwich for a snack with mayo, tomato and green hot chile. Si, one thing with the other, it was a well balanced meal.

@marguicha It does sound like it was healthy... more so than I'd want, but you aren't me.

@DaddyEvil i never eat something because it is healthy. I eat because I WANT to eat something. But my body helps me decide and I am lucky because I don´t have high blood pressure nor diabetes.

@RubyHawk They are delicious. I make them with still frozen strawberries so the smoothie is very cold

I would not mind having some of that warmth. A delicious smoothie sounds good any time.

I´d gladly send you part of this warmth. This year the heat has been too great.

I got hooked on buying groceries online with the pandemia. Now I don´t buy it in any other way.

@LadyDuck Roast beef can be eaten with so many other ingredients. I make sandwiches with them. I use thin bread, thin beef and tomatoes, mayo, green hot chile or avocado slices.

@marguicha I like cold meats, particularly roast beef with a home made sauce tartar.

Too bad the weather is so hot. Are the fires any better?

I don´t think so. Not yet. They have already caught 15 hooded people that were turning on more fires.

I am eating a lot less but I´m drinking lots of water. But I eat cold sandwiches and salads. Now I´m making a leche flan to eat eggs and milk in a delicious and cold way.

I love strawberries but we never grow them. Tomorrow is Saturday. It's our market day. I will look for them if they're sold in the market.

I buy strawberries when they are not so expensive. I wash them and freeze them in plastics in groups of 4 or 5 depending on the size. I make smoothies with them not even thawing them before.

Strawberry smoothie sounds good for summer. What's the temperature in your place?

I can make a smoothie with 4 or 5 strawberries. They are expensive here too but if I only eat that amount it is not so much.

I know I will. I already have everything cooked for the weekend. So I don´t really have much to do.
