Dealing with heat

The temperature is and will be around +30. I'm only thinking about fresh, green and chilly things: mint, lime, cucumber, coriander. Today's cold soup was a mixture of bulgarian and mexican cuisine, consisting of ingredients mentioned plus garlic, yoghurt, salt and ice. Yummy. Somehow it didn't feel like eating thin raita or tzatziki but a dish of it's own. Maybe because cucumber was sliced in cubes, not grated.

Made some (mediocre) iced tea too, tomorrow I'm trying de-caf ice coffee. Also planning to make spiced salts, found a nice sounding recipe for mint-chili-lime -salt. Tomorrow's lunch will be either gazpacho or melon soup. It's possible to add some sparkling wine into melon soup, that would be grand.

Spending the lazy days either at Divoka Sarka lake swimming and sunbathing/staying in shadow of a birch tree, or on the balcony. Another good option is well air-cond't supermarket, spending time carefully comparing and choosing frozen products.
