Does anyone else lose their appetite when it’s too hot for them? Apart from yoghurt and the odd piece of fruit, I’m usually struggling in really warm weather.
Apparently the sun & heat don't have the same effect on the male of the species as on the female........Does anyone else lose their appetite when it’s too hot for them? Apart from yoghurt and the odd piece of fruit, I’m usually struggling in really warm weather.
That sounds like a variation of taboulé.I never developed a taste for hot couscous.
Cook in 1/2 water, 1/2 lemon juice & salt, allow to cool and fluff up with a fork. While that is happening, fine dice at least 250ml red & green peppers, white, purple and yellow onions, radishes and sweet corn, cucumber, cooked yam, whatever you can find for bulk and for color.
Mix all that and be really generous with good olive oil, granulated garlic and some coarse black pepper. The oily will trap a lot of the food flavors and keep them in the salad.
OK fresh but best after a night's rest in the fridge.
I grew up abroad and the heat as a child never bothered me... I could run around in it roasting merrily... as an adult who has lived in the UK for longer than not, now I struggle with the heat.. I need more time to acclimatise..
Equally though, since I packed up playing rugby I've become less tough with the cold.. I need to get back into things to move my comfort zones again!
As for food, unfortunately cheese and me don't mix, it's always a nightmare reading people's food lists and seeing cheese as a staple ..
You have my sympathy.
I can't digest milk properly, or soft cheeses, I manage a little hard cheddar though.
I've tried most of the 'cheeze' vegan varieties, and the best of the bunch is the applewood smoked one I reckon. It's not cheese, but it's passable, and it's edible, so not dire, iimmc ?
Another using that technique.I have this water sprits for flowers. It gives out a very, very fine mist of water. Not a single drop of water, just a fine mist. Perfect for cooling oneself.
Stay safe!Well, I guess I get to practice what I preach. Later next week, maybe peak July 27/28, we are expected to get cooked in another "heat dome" like last summer. Not likely to hit 40C but if so, won't surprise me. Last summer was 47C.
I have a bunch of fans, water runs cold at 6C after 5 minutes. Downstairs is 5' underground, after long hot spells it might be 20C.
