That's hot! Last time I was in Greece (July 2002) I lost over 5 kilograms in 10 days - it was simply too hot (40C) to eat, and I survived by drinking gallons and gallons of water and nibbling some salad & bread just before midnight when it was somewhat cooler (alas, low 30s:) I'm kind of counting on that this time, too, as I've been overeating recently:) It’s not too hot in Edinburgh, but I’m off to Greece this weekend and the temperatures are gonna be ca 30-40C.

I normally open all the windows early in the morning and allow to air. Then close everything on the sunny side and draw the curtains. this way I found it to it stays cool till the evening! As for foods ... go with fruity drinks and milkshakes and salads. Always the best thing for hot days! Hey Pam, We’ve got high temps here in Weimar too!

Like you, I am not really looking forwards to staying in front of a hot oven, so I opted for cold meals (Greek salads, fresh fruits, müesli, sandwiches with leftovers, etc...). I did bake muffins and still have to cook certain things, but I'm trying to keep it as simple as possible (savoury cakes, bread, apricot tarts, etc...)...

I am taking a temporary break from cooking - ice cream is the only way to go! or anything involving salad and goats cheese... yum.
