The mercury here in Houston has hit 104°F. That's 40°C for you metric snobs, err, I mean the rest of the world. Today, by the way, is only the third day of summer! It might even get hotter as the season unfurls. The highest ever on record for H-Town is 109°F back in September 2000.
So once again, it is the time to stay indoors, cool off, bring out the fans, turn on the AC's, over-eat, and gain weight from inactivity.
And while you're munching on something cool, why not pair your cold dessert with something homemade and fresh from the oven?
Admit it, you've been sitting in front of the TV for hours watching reruns of SpongeBob. So get at it, get up from the couch and start baking some pies, or cake, or whatever pastry for your ice cream or whipped cream.
Yes! Bake! Think of it this way, baking is exercise.
It quells the guilt.
I did. And right now, I'm in heaven with my warm apple pie and cool chocolate-swirl ice cream. The temperature maybe hot outside, and the water in the shaded pool a bit too cool for my liking, but here I am inside my house enjoying the best of both.
