Pink and white remind me of candy, delicious.<br /><br />I live in the South so we get our fair share of days with high temperatures and high humidity, too.

Tossed green salads with bits of meat and nuts are satisfying and nutritious as are boiled egg and pasta salads. <br /><br />On very hot days I often prepare a fruit salad with creamy fruit yogurt dressing for a meal. I add chopped nuts on top of the yogurt for added protein. <br /><br />Toaster pizzas made from English Muffins, ground beef and cheeseanonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13214621646003640118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186456.post-43854207137476027952013-06-29T22:40:06.799-07:002013-06-29T22:40:06.799-07:00Lydia, I hope you are coping alright with the high...Lydia, I hope you are coping alright with the high temps and humidity..I heard you're having 48 degrees in some parts over there!<br />My fair skin and red hair don't mix well with hot weather like that.<br />It can be so terribly draining!<br />It's one of the reasons we are glad to be out of Sydney and over the mountains these days.<br />A good crunchy Pink Lady apple is truly Trishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07502174233868442174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186456.post-90592109348174911472013-06-29T21:50:47.811-07:002013-06-29T21:50:47.811-07:00lynn m has left a new comment on your post "H...lynn m has left a new comment on your post "Hot Days Ahead": <br /><br />OH OH OH...your front door area reminds me of your love of caravans...just as charming as can be...do keep those vines growing..they add a wonderful, charming touch.<br />Your new fabric is a must-have for me....oh dear...you've done it again...always an inspiration!<br />the fruits are great...have to search Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15530969871397361970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9186456.post-68799354282358619652013-06-29T21:50:26.460-07:002013-06-29T21:50:26.460-07:00anonymous has left a new comment on your post &quo...anonymous has left a new comment on your post "Hot Days Ahead": <br /><br />I really like your choice of fabric.
