Daily quote of the de jour

If you can't stand the heat - get out of the kitchen.

Or you could open a window, turn on a big fan and change into some shorts and a tee shirt.
I also find that using the microwave instead of heating up the oven can help. of course frozen pizza never comes out as good in the microwave so kill two birds* and just order delivery.

( I don't intend for the part about killing birds to be taken literally. Unless you are making really fresh chicken, turkey, squab, duck etc and doing your own butchering. otherwise, killing two birds is gratuitous and beyond the scope of staying cool in the kitchen. pour yourself a tall glass of iced beverage, however, might be helpful..)
