The most refreshing thing ever just now is a cool mandarin orange or a bowl of frozen grapes. That said, I don't want to eat cold foods all the time. I want hot meals but not heavy ones. Finding the balance is the clue. Contrasts in temperature is just as important as contrast in textures and colors to make a meal appeal to the taste buds.

I'll definitely take time to put some of the grapes in the freezer and will make up a frozen pie or something for the future so that I'll have it in the freezer, too.

My Mom is still hanging on but not responding to us now.
I typically make supper menus for the month but I did 11 days of lunches yesterday with is such a relief to have written down. I was also able to get items on the list that need to be used from the freezer that I never think of on the fly.
Hot and muggy summer weather sure changes the menus we are used to preparing. I think maybe our temps in Central Indiana are a little cooler than yours. Our oldest daughter lives near Dallas and she said it has been unbearably hot.
Prayers for Miss Lana.
Thanks for mentioning skillet street corn. I was planning to have enchiladas Tuesday night and that will be a great side dish!
