The post where I
have 2 quick fixes !
Salad:
1. No salad dressing in the house? No delicious lemons? Want a salad?
Use orange juice. Just a tablespoon or two, and it's very handy if you have that special feta cheese where there are herbs and dried tomatoes in it!
Air Conditioning:
2. I do not have air conditioning. Currently it's ranging from around 80 early morning to the 90's midday and cooling down around 60-70 evening-nighttime. We are having a heat wave, possibly through Wednesday.
Of course we all know the old trick of a bowl of ice in front of the fan, cheap and easy way to get an R.E.M.air to a video, but hey, also, a make it yourself swamp cooler-ish.
So I took a plastic colander, filled it with ice, put some paper towels, on the bottom of bowl, put the plastic colander in the bowl, and put the bowl contraption on top of a large book ( Too Big To Fail by Sorkin...) and put my fan on.
It kinda works. Of course, the evening is mostly arrived, and with it, some cooler temperatures.
Now I need a new salad bowl and plastic colander.
I am also going to try using those cold pack thingies.
