Summer Cooking

We have been roasting in the Sacramento Valley for the past 6 days with a temperature range from a low of 100 to a high of 107 degrees.* We were not sure just when, but we knew the cool Delta Breeze would return. It was a hot 97 degrees today, and it's the beginning of a cooling trend. We'll celebrate the cool-off tonight with a big barbecue out back. The barbecue grill is waiting and ready to go with a full tank of fuel, and just in case there's a preference for charcoal grilling, it's also ready. We have hot dogs, burgers, ribs, steaks, boiled corn, and baked potatoes. There are cold melons and an assortment of all kinds of fruits and veggies. Buns, bottled water, alcohol-free drinks, napkins, plates, utensils, and hunger. The sun is setting, and the Delta Breeze has kicked in with all cylinders. Neighbors are beginning to smell the aroma and hoping for an invite. 07042018PoetrySoupContest, Summer Cooking, Kim Rodrigues *Not a specific event but based on real weather patterns
