What are your strategies for beating the heat? I’m a fan of creamy ice cream or a good cookout. This time last year, I kicked off the summer by walking around Chicago. It was about 86 degrees, and there were many signs about the Emergency Heat Warning that was in place. My Floridian self just laughed! I’m soaking up the heat waves like a little solar-powered lizard. Still, I think there’s no better hot-weather tradition than summer slow cooker recipes.
