Even in the middle of summer- at the height of the heat, I love living in Palm Springs. I'm not one to lay in the sun all day, but I like the dry heat in the desert. This time of year it's usually somewhere between 105 and 110 degrees with blazing sun. Luckily at night it cools down to 80-90 degrees, which believe it or not is much cooler. Aside from constant air conditioning, the challenge of course is to find a variety of ways to beat the heat. I usually turn to icey beverages or chilled things to eat. I thought it would be a good way to start with week by sharing what works for me...Well of course it has to start with iced water, preferably with a slice of fresh lemon from the yard. Or for a bit of flavor, fresh brewed iced tea...
And of course, "the pause that refreshes", there is nothing like a Coke, especially in a glass bottle. But an ice cold beer hits the spot!
Now for the snacky things....soft serve ice cream is tops on the list...or for a more grown-up taste, some ridiculous creation from Cold Stone Creamery is even better!
And if I'm trying to be good, I'll hit Jamba Juice for one of their fruit smothies.
And back when I was a kid growing up in Rhode Island, the local summertime treat was Del's frozen lemonade. Oh how I wish we had Del's here in Palm Springs. This is merely an ode to my childhood then, and nothing to do with this post.
