G and I have decided to attempt an air-conditioner free summer. We have ceiling fans in every room of the house, and buying window units just doesn't seem all that appealing. Number one, they cost money to buy and operate. Number two, they would take away some of the limited natural light we get in the house (a fact which does help our AC-less cause, btw).
There has only been a couple of nights that G has felt a bit uncomfortable, but I haven't noticed it, as I've been told I sleep with my eyes open and the bedroom lights blaring. I'm low maintenance. So, here's hoping we can make it through and save some major dough and some carbon footprints!
As a result of our venture, we've been using the grill a lot, as cooking on the stove increases the kitchen temperature considerably. I'm big on grilled veggies, and I'm hoping that my Jurassic park yellow squash plants are ready for some action soon. These are perfect. They are so delicious, so filling, and so simple. I sub in Trader Joe's Brown Rice Tortillas for my tostada. And until our garden kicks into full force, I'll be going here for my produce.
Happy summer!
