It’s no better indoors, tempers are up and all you feel is drained. Even the fans seem to be just circulating hot air, nothing but hot air.

My constant wish is”rain, please rain !”

It’s so bad that I got sick with cramps gulping down two big glasses of iced lemonade while having lunch at the in-laws, maybe I was asking for it by drinking the beverage too fast, too soon after every mouthful of rice.

Even so, I still blame this heat for making me lemonade crazy.

Things don’t get any better when you have to cook with the stove giving off more heat but lunchtime is here and I made this Pumpkin Curry, BECAUSE, I wanted to be in and out of the kitchen as quickly as possible.
