  • two boxes of oyster mushrooms (larger clamshell size, maybe four ounces each? not sure)
  • two pints of cherry tomatoes
  • two heads of green leaf lettuce
  • a big bunch of spinach
  • three heads of garlic
  • seven medium yellow onions
  • six biggish potatoes (they look like Yukon golds)
  • three huge globe artichokes (much yayness!)

Now, if only I could face actual cooking, but in this heat, I wilt. I know, it's only low 80s, but magids aren't made for hot weather. At all. And yet, I've never lived with an AC, either. And I've been miserable each summer (well, except when in the lovely air-conditioned-ness of my office. Thank goodness for work :-). I'm thinking that should change, though. Even a small room AC would make a difference, knowing I'd have somewhere cool enough to sleep. (And for the people who say it's not the heat, it's the humidity, well, yes, some, but it doesn't make much difference, since here the two come hand in hand.)
(As I type, I can feel sweat trickling down me. I don't know why I sweat so much more/easily than everyone else seems to, but I do.)

Oh, and I should consider investing in a cooler and ice packs too, to leave out for the veggies, as suggested.

last night i was offered an AC and turned it down; now having fitfully slept through most of today i have to wonder if that was a mistake.

as for sweating - i do it too. in buckets. ladies just aren't supposed to talk about it :)

Tonight I was offered an AC (though it might be a loan for the season), and I didn't turn it down, especially since it came with help installing it, which I'm quite nervous about, actually. I hope the storm has helped cool things down in your place considerably.

Sweating: horses sweat, men perspire, women glow. Or something like that. And I know other women do, but when I look around, everyone else's clothing seems crisp and cool while I'm melting into a puddle. That's it: my melting point is lower.

I must be a horse, for I most certainly sweat! :)

If it's the humidity, even more reason to get an AC, since ACs condition the air by extracting the humidity from it (and often dripping it all over your hardwood floors instead). I'm glad you found a solution for the summer.

I'm hoping it drips the excess humidity outside! :-)

And thanks.
