Heat Waves

I will probably eat my first hot meal in more than a week today. While thinking about that it occurred to me this might make a helpful topic.
The reason this could be my first hot meal in a week is that we've been experiencing a heatwave for more than a week and it finally abated overnight. Eating only cold meals is one of my adaptation tactics during heatwaves. I also drink mostly water (make sure I keep at least 2 gallon jugs in the refrigerator) and if I prepare a hot beverage (Like Decaf or Herbal Tea) I let it cool down to room temp. before I drink it.
Just thought it might be informative to share heat adaptation strategies and tactics...and maybe pas them on to our kids and grandkids.
