Martini and a nap.

Don't know if I really have one. I'll agree with those who posted pasta salad, mixed fruit bowls (melon, cantaloupe, watermelon, strawberries, pineapple, grapes), and smoothies (I'm rather partial to mango smoothies). Chilled berries are good, too. Strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries. Those are very enjoyable on a hot day.

Ice cream I'll eat anytime, even if the temps are single digits outside.

My childhood summers were spent in the watermelon patch. To this day , 50+ years later, I don't eat watermelon.

On a hot day (we've had a few this week!), a green salad with Cesar Dressing and a cold iced tea or sparkling water!

When I was young, Dad was a regional produce manager for a grocery chain (Big Bear), he would pick the perfect ripe watermelon (oblong, light green color, no stripes) then we would head to grandpa's dairy farm. Back then the milk was stored in 10 gallon cans in a chiller full of 33 to 37 degree water. We would wash and then slide the watermelon into the chilled water for a few hours. On a hot summer afternoon, my cousins and I would pig out on the sweetest coldest delight known to humankind!

Limes are very low in calories and good for you as well as Tonic water.
However the Gin has a few more calories.

You had me, until you used the word GIN! Now Vodka is a whole different thing!

We have a 103 heat index today, .

Yes, but what about when it's hot outside?

 

[Chukar60]

Salad with lots of veggies and some thinly sliced med-rare steak with blue cheese vinaigrette dressing with sun brewed iced tea.
Or if I am feeling lazy, tacos with home made corn tortillas With iced tea.

Ice cream and watermelon.

 

[coltle6920]

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't there a watermelon for adults where a core is taken out and some adult refreshment is poured in to soak for a while?

 

[yaktamer]

When I was in the Army guys would core out a watermelon and stick a bottle of vodka in it and put it in the fridge for a couple of days to infuse.

My favorite summer sandwich: Toasted potato bread, with sliced tomatoes and Kooper's Sharp White American Cheese, salt and pepper, and mayo...makes my mouth water just thinking about them!
