It's 101 degrees outside and I am eating homemade bread. I have to bake cookies and homemade pop tarts yet.

Sigh.

He's worth it.

1. Can't you just make some ice pops instead?

That seems to be what everybody wants around here when it's very hot anyway.

2. LOL! I see you're in Oklahoma. I'm in Texas.

It's 102 right now. It is normal for it to be this hot this time of year. I just made Arroz Con Pollo. It smells too yummy. I'm just chillin' after fixing it until I'm ready to eat. I do feel your pain though.

19. I heat ya, sis.

Come on up Nawth. We had ONE really nice day last week, and one so far this week. On second thought, wait a few weeks when it will be nice here and still hot there. Gotta be double tough to fade the Oklahoma heat in August...I feel for you.

I know you know what I'm talking about. One of the bank signs on the way home tonight was reading 109!

22. I shudder at the thought of having to live in that environment again. You are one brave, pioneering soul and exceptionally dedicated wife to make fresh bread in that weather. Even here, our electricity bill doubled last month (we've only had AC on twice at night) and this month-hoo boy! I bet it's triple what we usually pay. 109 degrees with, what? 82% humidity? Even if it's bone dry, 109 is enough to make me keel over. Be careful out there, sis. A person could get hurt.

7. It's therapy of sorts

My job is in jeopardy. I had all of last week off, everyone did. They told us to call in this next wednesday to find out if we're laid of permanently or not ... so, I bake to avoid feeling sorry and scared for myself.

11. Well, the pop tarts weren't a wise choice in these temps. Even with AC it's still too warm in here for this very soft dough. I keep having to put it in the freezer in different stages to make it workable.

THE FARMERETTE FROM UP OVER THERE IN WISCONSIN
Response to Original message

12. mmmm homemade bread

my nose can just smell it! My mom used to make both strawberry jam and homemade bread on a hot summer day. Then we would take the heels of the bread and eat them with the pink "scum" that was scooped off the top of the boiling jam. Good times, good times.

I am pitting a big flat of pie cherries tonight -- couldn't believe I actually snagged some at the farmers market today. I will cook some down for ice cream topping, and freeze the rest.

I also got some transparent apples -- I haven't seen those in a while. I will peel & slice and freeze them. And the farmer gave me a sample apple called "Melba" -- never heard of that variety!

And I bought two beautiful huge bunches of multi-colored carrots to make some refrigerator pickled carrots. I love those.

Love the market!

Tomorrow I am making a batch of whole wheat banana bread for the kid in the family who is working as a fishing coach at summer camp prior to starting college this fall. Gotta keep those care packages in the mail! My mom was very good about sending little care packages to family members, even if it was just a little matchbox car and some gummi bears.

17. The farmers markets really are so wonderful.

I'm so glad they are really booming and growing all over the country. And really glad you got some cherries. I've never heard of a transparent apple. Hm.

Wonderful memories of your childhood, too, E.

13. He must really appreciate your efforts that you do this every week

And that's really nice all around.

P.S. Earlier, I put a whole wheat bread in the bread baker and walked out the door to go shopping. It makes the kitchen a little hotter plus it's muggy today. But it came out nice for an "all whole wheat flour" bread. Dense but not like a rock.

14. It won't help you now but tell Santa Claus that what you want for Xmas is a Sun Oven. With one of those you can do bread, casseroles, baked chickens, roasts, and a small daily batch of cookies from refrigerated dough for the next day's lunch, all without heating up the kitchen. The only problem is the occasional windy day, they're not much good then unless you fancy chasing the reflectors over 3 counties.

I don't think Santa Claus is going to pay any attention to Mrs. Alfred Packer; he didn't last year.

Last year, Mrs. Alfred Packer wanted a chest-style deep-freezer, but Wild Bill said no.

Wild Bill's excuse was that sometimes the electricity goes out, and the stuff in a freezer would deteriorate; but we of course know the real reason; Wild Bill's just a tight old coot.

Damn wussies can't stand the heat. They should try Charleston, S.C. when it's around a 100 degrees and the humidity is so high you have to anchor your boat in the driveway so it don't float off.

But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

It's not all that bad here (I work in OK.)  Yeah, it's a little over 100 many days, but there hasn't been much rain, so no horrific humidity. 

I wonder if Mrs. Alfred Packer is smart enough to do her baking late at night, or before sunrise?   :whatever:

80 today.  Nice and dry.  Perfect weather.  Windows are all open, and will stay that way all night.  Only thing I'm gonna hear are the bikers going down the road and the crickets.

It's been pouring buckets of rain up here in the Sandhills of Nebraska, about two out of every three days.....since last March.  There's more water than air, in the air here.

This reminds me.

I'm still stuck--writer's block--on how Mrs. Alfred Packer manages to pay the pig-tailed bent-back slipper-wearing Celestial for the stainless steel pots and pans (remember, Mrs. Alfred Packer is a notorious racist, a sinophobe), and so I decided to skip working on that part of the War and Peace-length sex novel about Mrs. Alfred Packer, and go a little ahead of the story.

So I get to the part where Mrs. Alfred Packer is delivered of two twin infants, boys.

Wild Bill Jr. is a spitting image of his old man.

But the other twin, Hop Sing, has nothing of hippyhubby Wild Bill.

And now I'm at a second impasse; Wild Bill's reaction to the infant Hop Sing.

My job is in jeopardy. I had all of last week off, everyone did. They told us to call in this next wednesday to find out if we're laid of permanently or not ... so, I bake to avoid feeling sorry and scared for myself.
You and another 25 million Americans. I feel for you, I really do because that kind of worry sucks - especially for those who have ALREADY lost their jobs in this O'conomy and their 'worry' is their unemployment benefits ARE finite and WILL run out soon.
