There was another overnight storm along with a tornado warning. The weather has been volatile this past week. High temperatures with very high humidity will do that. In my elder years I have become extremely heat intolerant. I use extremely because it really is. I am now, with our weather change and my age, a complete winter gal. It does keep the cats quiet, so there is that. My spirit has been willing to work outside, my limited common sense has told me nope.
Gatto does not care what I do as long as he can sleep undisturbed. He does have some grey cells up there.
Yesterday Far Side mention she made potato salad, which then made me want potato salad. This is slightly different from the standard, made with tarragon and vinegar, as well as mayonnaise. No egg. There is enough left for lunch. I have some burgers I made then froze that will accompany the potato salad. A summertime meal if ever there was one.

I'm not very tolerant of heat either. Luckily the temperature here in NI seldom exceeds 20C. I was in Sydney once when the temperature hit 40C. It was unbearable.
I have never been good with heat, my northern UK heritage geared to damp cold. Now even less so. I do manage to cook still.
We always got more hot temperatures in July and August, nick. But not generally prolonged and definitely not this tropical humidity. It would get humid but this stuff is miserable.
I'm used to dry cold, Boud. Damp cold goes right to the bones!
I do remember being a little more tolerant of the heat when I was little but that may have been because we had no choice. Nobody had AC in their homes in the Minneapolis suburbs back then. I do remember bowls of ice placed in front of fans and sleeping on the cement floor in the basement to cool off and running through the sprinkler...so I wasn't ever a heat lover. As a treat on a hot night my dad would take us all to A&W for root beer in the frozen mugs with the handles. I remember us kids rubbing the mugs all over our cheeks to cool off. How did we ever survive without AC. I guess that was how. ;)
I have never met a potato salad I didn't like :) - I usually make macaroni salad because macaroni is a pantry staple. I am going to put potatoes on my grocery list.
