This past week saw temperatures in the high 90's - my small 2nd story garden apartment is boiling hot throughout the winter ... you don't even want to imagine what it gets like in the summer! I have one air conditioning unit in the entire apartment - it is located in the living room - but even with the air conditioning working as hard as it can, it doesn't even begin to touch the heat in the kitchen. In the summer I am forced to stop using the oven and I avoid the stove top as much as possible - I turn to my George Foreman grill to do most of the cooking and try to dream up as many no cook meals as possible to avoid heat stroke!
This past Tuesday night I made paninis with fresh mozzarella, fresh sliced roma tomatos, fresh basil and grilled eggplant - I cut kaiser rolls in half, splashed both cut ends with balsamic and piled on the toppings before tossing the sandwiches on the George Foreman grill for a few minutes on each side - ridiculously good!
