A big bowl of summer sunshine. I love the bright yellow of this photo and it really is one of the summeriest images. What kind of images reminds you of summer? Bright coloured beach umbrellas? flowers? barbeques smoking and sizzling? One smell that always takes me to summer in my head is the smell of cucumbers. I guess that's because we always had them in our salads. Another one of my favourite summer foods is potato salad which is great on a hot day. Only problem is, to make it you have to boil the potatoes which heats up the kitchen. I guess the trick is to do it first thing in the morning.

We've had a gorgeous, hot summer weekend and it's going to continue for a few more days at least. I did have a hard time sleeping last night even with the fan. Add to that, weird dreams. I had a slice of leftover pizza about an hour before i went to bed and i should have known better. All night, i kept dreaming of writing reports with the software we use at work. Every time i'd wake up and wonder why i was dreaming that. I'd try to think of something else but i'd fall asleep and dream of the same damn thing. At least three different times that i can remember. Some might say that was actually a nightmare lol!

My friend Tracey has started a project where she wants to collect food stories, anything to do with food, be it food travel, great meals you've had, cooking disasters or triumphs, anything. If anyone has anything they'd like to impart, email me the story (tvor @ livejournal dot ca will get to me) I know i've had a few disasters to relate. I must get Graham to send her the story about the flaming spotted dick.
