I've paid attention for more than a few years now. Summer just ends abruptly right around the end of August. It didn't matter if I was getting up at 5:00 AM to work in pipeline construction, or if I work at home the way I do now and just look out the window. I can feel it happen almost instantly. It gets cold in the evening really fast and it just feels different, even on the warm days. Now I can take out my window air conditioner. It will never get hot enough to warrant another press of the "on" button until next June. I'm going to miss summer.
The good thing is that I will enjoy cooking a lot more. Sure, I keep the house at a good temperature in the summer, but I don't like cooking stew, pizza, slow baked ribs, or anything else I really like to eat when it's hot outside. Sometimes I break down, but the air conditioner always loses to that unnecessary heat! LOL!
I just made pizza the other night; (ham and pinneapple, and pepperoni with green pepper and onion
) and I think the next thing I'll do is a good, hearty beef stew. Do you enjoy cooking more when fall comes around? What's on your list of favourite things to cook when it starts getting cold... or does it even have an effect on your mindset where you live?
