What do you miss most about warm weather cooking?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Are you loving this weather as much as I am? I admit, it makes me approach cooking in a totally different way than last week’s freezing temperatures did.
In fact, last night we were having a friend, a real meat and potato kind of guy, over for dinner. Instead of having to figure out some cold weather dish to prepare, which involved spending most of the day in the kitchen, I realized with the temperature in the 60s I could easily throw some steaks on the grill at the last minute. Wow, that made my life so much easier. I had one of my kids working on a chocolate pudding cake while I made some twice baked potatoes and steamed green beans. Dinner was ready in under an hour. Even better, there was hardly any cleanup.
Afterwards when I was getting my son’s school lunch ready I cut tomato slices for his sandwich and tasted an end. It was totally flavorless. It made me realize, even more than wishing for easy grilled meals, what I truly missed was having a tomato that tasted like a tomato.
What about you? What favorite food or way of eating does winter deprive you of most?
