We’re in the midst of a heatwave. Schools without A/C closed early Tuesday and will remain closed through tomorrow!
I steamed corn I had purchased at the farmer’s market this morning, and was dreading further heating up the kitchen in this oppressive heat. Then, a Hyderabadi aunty dropped off some goat biryani. I thanked my lucky stars and whipped up a batch of cucumber raita.
I mixed pureed watermelon with lime juice and simple syrup for a drink, and had a bowl of sugar cube melon slices afterward.
Earlier in the day I ate the last of our labor day batch of chocolate-sesame cucpakes, inspired by the chocolate cake thread. We used this recipe, substituting tahini for the peanut butter.
