Fear no more the heat o' the sun...

There is, I have discovered, one (and probably only one) good thing about suffering 100 degree heat plus 100% humidity. (That's in the shade and a mile from the beach, mind you!)

All the fruit on my kitchen counter ripened in a single day. Lusciously, gorgeously - the grocery store produce that can often be an iffy proposition no matter how carefully I select it (I thump, I sniff, I gently press, etc) was suddenly a surfeit of perfect ripeness. Peaches, mangos, nectarines, pineapple. More than I know what to do with at one time - but luckily, I have very little difficulty coming up with ideas.

Even if this heat renders my brain essentially useless for any and all other functions.
