Today it was so hot, 32 degrees Celsius and so muggy you can almost cut it with  knife.  So, Peter and I both wanted something ‘light’, yet, satisfying.  Since I bake all of our bread, baking despite the heat had to be done.  Thanks to a new air conditioner this year, the house stayed nice and cool.  We were lucky.  So we had fresh warm french bread, a fresh Caesar Salad with homemade croutons, left over bacon and lots of grated parmesan.  I grilled halibut fish in a butter, lemon, spice brush and made a side of orzo summer salad. (can also be made with couscous).  It consisted of cooked orzo mixed with a little chicken broth (warm) then toss in the cool veggies; tomato chunks, chopped cucumber, chopped green onion and chopped fresh parsley.  Lucky for me I have most of these ingredients right outside in my garden.  This was the perfect meal on a hot summer day.
