Have not had much of an appetite lately. And yes it is the heat. I just cannot handle it. Many others of you can. And good for you. I only go out for short periods of time. But it still zaps my energy.
The flowers seem to be loving the heat. Lots of roses, lilies, crepe myrtle and the rose of sharon bushes are full of blooms.
Will have a grilled cheese shortly and call it dinner. I have to eat something. That is always easy to fix and I love grilled cheese. I have cheddar to use this time. Sometimes I will just use sliced cheese. Depends on what is in the refrigerator.
Dinner plans for you?

I have not eaten anything yet but I just washed 7 oranges and so I will start with that. I find eating fruit very refreshing when it's hot.

@CarolDM True! After the oranges, I also had a big bunch of green grapes from the fridge and they were so refreshing on this very hot day.

The heat doesn't do anything to curb my appetite really. But it does effect others differently for sure. I cannot tell you the last time I had a grilled cheese sandwich, but it looks and sounds delicious. I'd have to add a bunch of other stuff to it though to be able to call it dinner.

Sorry about the heat, again....I thought it zapped my energy too, but I think for me it is carbs that zap mine. The grilled cheese in the photo looks tasty, so that sounds like a good meal!

@CarolDM That's totally fine, it is worth discussing! Eventually it will be gone, and winter will arrive. Glad the grilled cheese was good!

Maybe burritos. Heat does dim appetites.

I had my big meal of the day for lunch. Chicken nuggets and a baked potato with some ranch dressing.

The boys and I had McDonald's on the way home, so not sure what supper will be. Nothing too complicated, I'm sure. I love a good grilled cheese at times.
