I actually read an article yesterday that stated apparently siestas are are dying thing, as they result in more work and less sleep.

Colds not too hard to deal with at all. As the other poster mentioned, when outside, the trick is layers.

Inside, it’s actually very easy to trap heat. Knowing where and how it dissipates in a house makes a huge difference, but it’s generally much easier to heat a place than cool it.

Summer storms are the best! That feeling of anticipation as the pressure builds up, then the way the temperature drops, before the rain hits and it just washes the heat away (sometimes!)

That’s what got me thinking about this question initially; the home construction. I understand there’s a lot that can be done tree cover, air flow, and decent thermal material, unfortunately it seems that’s often deemed too expensive in places that aren’t consistently warmer.

 

I live in a pretty hot climate, but it’s only really unbearable at times due to shoddy building and bad urban planning. Even then, summer can be difficult.

I can’t imagine what it’s like on the equator, especially in dense urban centres. What’s Mumbai, Bangkok, or Singapore like at the height of the wet season?! How do millions of people function day to day?

I’m fearful if I add anymore, it may reach mozzarella singularity. No life, only moz

This is very clever and I hate you for it.

 

So I have absolutely boofed up a lasagna. It’s an old Margaret Fulton recipe and I was really looking forward to making it for the first time in ages.

The cheese mix was perfect, and the meat had cooked down fantastically. I must have had a brain fart though, because instead of just a sprinkle of mozzarella in between the middle layer and on top, I seem to have totally overdone it - it’s basically a mozzarella pile that just tastes like it’s been in the same room as the meat sauce. Pretty much a salty inedible blob.

So instead of wasting it, I wanted to ask if anyone has any ideas of how to salvage this mess? Recook with extra sauce? Scrap off the top and hope for the best? Anyway to save it!?
