It is so hot that just looking at the stove makes me break out in a sweat much less turning on the oven. We have been eating more sandwiches like ham and swiss and tuna fish salad. We did have this one that was cooked on top of the stove and it had rained (Thank you Lord) and we were a little cooler so I gave it a go. What is every ones favorite dish when its so hot the roads are buckling from the heat?
By the way this was ok it might be better with hot Italian sausage.
1 Tablespoon olive oil
1/2 sweet Italian sausage links casings removed and crumbled

We really don't cook per the weather. Hubby starves all day long and when he comes in he wants food. Meat, rice, gravy. Meat potatoes gravy.
ReplyDeleteWhen asked what he wants he says "big chicken or a small cow. FRIED. Rice and gravy. Something that use to have feet"......
Pasta salad would be willing to at least 24 hours ahead of time so the flavors have time to get married. While seated, the pasta continues to absorb the liquid and flavors, making each bite explodes with the delicious goodness of the sauce or gravy. Made of lettuce is stored in the refrigerator to keep the vegetables crisp. Put the salad in a sealed container so that it can be shaken before serving to restore a sauce or gravy.
