"The weather is your enemy," emailed my cousin Svenja from Germany in response to my cyber-whining about the heat and humidity.
Well, yes. Svenja, you nailed it.
Eating light helps.
My friend Erin, who lived in Spain for eight years, had a dreamy look when recalling a chilled soup made with cucumers, almonds and green grapes. She likened it to gazpacho.
I did a bit of Internet sleuthing and here's the recipe: http://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/green-grape-and-marcona-almond-gazpacho/print.
It's easy to make and the lovliest shade of mint green. I've been eating it for three days and I can attest: it'll bring your body temperature waaaay down.
Bon Appetit and Happy 4th of July!
P.S. I wish you were here to sip some, Svenja.
