I know complaining about the weather makes me sound really old and crotchety. Heck, it makes me feel really old and crotchety. But weather has been the talk of the Midwest. Why, oh why would I have ever chosen a SILK shirt yesterday? And not only that, but I chose a black blazer to go with? Sweltering…all…darn…day.

The lake will be amazing this weekend. Perfect timing, too…my sun burn from last weekend is finally healed. I never learn about this whole sun = need for sunscreen business. I hate myself every time I don’t listen to wiser people than I on such matters.

So yes, after a week of swamp-like conditions, the lake water should be super pleasant. Good thing…I have about 25-30 people coming over for a party tomorrow afternoon. I invited my hockey team et al to a party on the beach and the response rate was very high. Let’s just say, I got a pony keg for the occasion. Should be a good time.

I will also be grilling up burgers and some salsa. Yes, the famous salsa. Sounds like the girls are covering most of the sides and desserts. I’m going for 1. easy and 2. not heating up the house. The weather and 25+ bodies will certainly accomplish that on their own.

Similar to entertaining, I’ve been keeping the cooking outdoors this week and planned meals accordingly. I ripped this out of my massive food magazine rampage last weekend when the stack of them got to be well over a foot high (totally not exaggerating). To be honest, I wasn’t expecting anything epic to come of this dish. I didn’t believe it to be any better than the sum of its parts…but it very much so was.

Mr. Prevention was even smitten with this dish. Yes, this meat-free dish containing a vegetable he is yet to pronounce correctly – radicchio. He gobbled it up and sang my praises. It doesn’t happen often, so I enjoy when it does.

    Nicole…shame on you as fair as you are (at least I think you are)! Sunscreen, sunscreen and more sunscreen!

    I HATE the feeling of sunscreen and the time it takes to put on. It used to take forever to get out of the house…I have 4 kids and had to put it on everyone!

    I’ve found Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Body Mist sprays on easy and you can hardly feel it.

    Now go get some 🙂

    I have finally learned my lesson with sunscreen – I used it even if I swim at lunch for only 30 minutes outside! I burn so easily.

    Love that salad, and I never think to buy radicchio but I love it – and that Mr. P. gave it thumbs up is even better!

    Woop on the baja fresh salsa! I’ll be making the cherry version this weekend, now that I can get cherries – have a ton of fun!

    […] But today, for you, a vegetarian delight. Considering you can purchase boiled eggs or use leftover eggs in this recipe, it is truly no-bake/no-cook. It is what my mother refers to as a “gather and assemble” meal. While I normally try to give a bit more effort to meals, this was a welcome change. Plus, I had leftover eggs from that killer Grilled Vegetable Panzanella. […]
