Things to eat when it's 100 degrees

[threemeninaboat]

Foods that don't need fancy appliances:
-Spring rolls
-Noodle salad, tuna salad, egg salad, thai beef salad, tossed salad
-Sammiches

Okay, get this, if you have access to the outdoors, like a patio, you can cook there.
Toaster oven, crock pot, and hot plate can go on the patio if you have a plug or an extension cord. These are available at the thrift store.

Things that go in the toaster oven:
-Anything you would bake. Get some small pans at the thrift store.

Indian food in the crock pot is awesome. That's what we used before we got an enameled cast-iron.

If I remember you guys at at least a few things that need to go?
It looks like it'll be between $20-$85?
Would it work to have you pick up the tab on Thursday and we can let you know if it goes crazy over that?
What works for you?

Ah... they take electronics too, I think my garage just got lighter.

Yeah, we've got a couple of cans and bottles of........we're not sure what, really. That sounds like a great plan, and the tiki bar sounds like an awesome place!

I AM OUT OF CHIPS! But I have cookies.

I have no chips, or cookies or beer. But I do have this homework to do!
