What do YOU like to make for dinner when it is 91 degrees in your house?

Ugg! No air conditioning! We really enjoy Orzo, Shrimp and Feta
I have made it many times. It think it is a "full meal" yet you feel light. If that makes sense. In other words, I think it would be perfect.
Enjoy! ((Sorry about the heat!))

REC: Grilled eggplant with soba noodles and peaches
Or in this case, nectarines!
I got the recipe from the Boston Globe, but they adapted it from Ottolenghi's Plenty.
There was one eggplant int he garden and we had nectarines in the fridge, so this was dinner.

Comfort food
First, it is never 91 in my house, Close, but I eventually turn on the AC.
Today, after driving 200 plus miles to be with my sister while her husband had a pacemaker inserted, being up late, lack of sleep, and sitting in a hospital, I came home to make a pasta dish of fresh portabella, roasted red peppers, spinach, fusilli, Labneh, and sour cream topped with parmesan shavings. Comfort food.

Cold Fruit Plates
However, I do remember growing up when we had no AC and on hot evenings, Mother would make fruit plates filled with whatever fruit we had, (peaches, pears, apricots, grapes, cottage, cheese, or grilled cheese sandwiches, or the fruit over mixed greens, etc.

Lisa, it was really good!
We only had a 1# eggplant from the garden, so did about 1/3 of the recipe.
Thought that maybe it could have used a bit more nectarine, but if it had been chopped smaller, that would have distributed it better.
Do give it a try!
I also want to try the other recipes in that article.
