If it warmed up significantly, I guess I'd barbecue more and grill
fruit to go with it. I'd make more things like watermelon salad or
pea salad. My go to menu for the occasional warm day is chicken and
potato salad. Love that combo.

I feel that way too. Warmer weather, what's that?

Sounds like perfect weather to me! Not too hot, not too cold.

Good luck with the warm weather... I know you can count on July
because I've been in England (not Scotland) during that time and it's
like SF.... nobody seems to be prepared because it's so different from
the rest of the year. It's like my local "Indian Summer" which
happens for 1-2 weeks in the Fall (before global warming made
everything unpredictable). We haven't had a real Indian summer for a
few years, but the entire winter is warmer and there's less rainfall.
I'm not far enough North or at a high enough altitude to get snow,
unless it's a freak event.

It's not so much that I change, but that what's available changes. I pull out the fabulous traditions for summer, like vitello tonnato. As good tomatoes start to appear, those figure larger. Broccoli gets a last turn before it disappears until next October.

Red Thai currys cannot spoil anything.
