For those going over 40 today (Melbourne, Adelaide for example)
I feel for the pregnant, elderly and furry pets on days like these.The official recommendations are:
- Reduce physical activity
- Stay indoors
- Keep hydrated (no alcohol)
Boston Iced Tea: (makes 2 litre)
- 1.5 litres water
- 1/3 cup caster sugar
- 8 tea bags (personal favourite Twinings' English Breakfast)
- 500ml Bickfords Cranberry Juice
Egg Salad
- 5 eggs, boiled in 'furious water' for 4 minutes (i.e. boil water first)
- 1 stick of celery, finely diced
- 1 spring onion, finely diced
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon mayonaise
- sprinking sweet paprika
- couple of pinches of fresh (or dried if you must) dill

Summer was slow to come out of the blocks in Melbourne but wow, it's definitely here in force, that's for sure! I can't wait to get to the other side of this heatwave. I'm drinking like a fish so I have enough milk for the little ladies. I'm very thankful we have air conditioning.
I think ice cream sounds like a good idea for dinner lol
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurrrrgghhhh the heat!!! I am agreeing with the ice-cream for dinner gig though hehehe :)
Think I am going to have to give that egg salad a go!!! :)
Oh dear! It's times like this I'm glad I don't live in Australia - it never really gets hot or cold here, just mild all year round.....Hope the heatwave doesn't last too long (and also that you've got aircon!!)
