Today was supposed to be an errand and Harry Potter day - I purposefully didn't plan to do anything except go to the movies and get my driver's license renewed. But the weather has thwarted my plans, I believe. It's predicted to be 97 here today, and with no A/C and an elderly pooch to worry about, I'm staying home instead. We'll camp out in the basement later today - once it gets closer to the 90+ mark, and I'll read or write down there. It's about 15 - 20 degrees cooler in the basement, if not more.
In the meantime, I'm trickle-watering the trees (the heat killed the grass in a day) and washing the dog's bedding and toys. I am planning on giving him a bath in about an hour - at the high heat of the day - because it will cool him off a bit and I think he'll sleep better. This morning before breakfast I made blueberry buttermilk sherbet - a base I had started yesterday - and it froze up in about 15 minutes, nice and perfect. I'll probably make more base this afternoon for another kind, probably lychee lime sorbet or morello cherry ice cream. With 10+lbs of cookie dough in the freezer, I don't have to make more for the rest of the year - but sherbet, sorbet, and ice cream are always in short supply. Now that we have our new chest freezer, I'm busy working to fill it up! Piggie soon.
