Life just doesn’t stop because it’s 96 degrees in the shade.
You want good food fast in the summer, you’re going to get a little hot.
For example:
Put a large stockpot on the stove to bring to the boil and cook some orecchiette.
The top of your head is now glistening.
Go outside and grill the shrimp while the orecchiette is cooking.
You’ve got a serious glow about you now. The back of your shirt is sticking to you.
Bring the shrimp in to the kitchen. Set aside. Drain the pasta.
Go take a cold shower, stand in front of fan, bring your internal temperature down to an acceptable range and you ready to make a wonderful supper.
And you’ll be cool as a cucumber when you fix it.

That's exactly what I told my hubby today when turned up the oven to 450 degrees...that's what a/c is for!
I'm envious of the carbs: orecchiete is just about my favorite. Did you find it at Whole Foods?
just delish - as always. this would go over well around here. i'm cooking tomorrow night and may need to do a pasta/shrimp kinda thing.
Oh, I love orecchiette. Now if I could only pronouce it. Wonderful.
