Ooo...love me a nice ragu! Though we tend to do the opposite...do that on the cool days and cook outside on the hot ones.
103°....yikes!! 95° is typically the hottest we EVER get and that is considered exteme and rarely lasts more than just a day. Though, these days as the planet melts, we are seeing upwards trends.

it's a little work on the front end and then a nap in the middle. so long as it's slow and low, it never burns and gets better with more cooktime.
our swimmer's career is about to end, both sadly and happily. i look forward to getting my Saturday's back and not rising before dawn on weekends. Fifteen years of this, across two kids. I paid my dues and did my time, and call it a success. was a Board member for 8 of those years and parent volunteer coordinator too. i'm sure we'll fill this new found time with small getaways and trips.

lazy man's food. set it and forget it. grilling would have killed me. it was 104F yesterday and the heat wave breaks tomorrow, finally. a week of over 101F temps, up to 104F really wears on me. and thank the lord we like to drink water. feeling like a fish of late. can report the kidney are functioning well! of course, in between wine, coors lights and a few margs.
in the winter, we do a soup sundays tradition. a new soup (or a repeat if asked for). winter soup just feels good.

Speaking of swimming, I could swim in that sauce. Outstanding, Brett!

Nice looking Ragu!
Not quite 100 here today but too hot for me to grill. Doing a 3 1/2 lb. Mississippi Pot Roast in the Instant Pot and some garlic mashed spuds. After planting potatoes and a tomato to replace one that died, enjoying the AC. Getting soft with age

That Ragu looks terrific, I would take a plate of that anytime.
We were hoping that last summer was an anomaly, we had three weeks of 105+ every day. Looks like we are headed there again.
Been in the high 90s and touching 100 a couple of days and we are in the mountains of Arizona at over 5500 ft. we are also in the monsoon season, and it isn't really pleasant when it's pouring and 100 outside. It gets so humid you could cut the air with a knife.
My instant pot and slow cooker are my friends when it's in the 100s.
My SRDs (spoiled rotten dogs) even have their own floor fans to help keep them cool even with the air on.

We’re big soup lovers too! We love all the 4 seasons we get here in PA but I think Fall and Winter are our favorites.

don't forget a nice cold one for yourself. the simple pleasures are what make the daily grind just easier.enjoying the AC. Getting soft with age
enjoy your pot roast. curious which cut you're using. we do love a jewish style brisket "pot roast." and classic mased spuds. mmmmm.

you have a nice part of AZ there. I sent off a client to Prescott last year. some really spectacular custom homes on the golf course there. and the mountain vistas were A+. i'm expanding my business to AZ next as i have a client and good friend that just bought land to develop over time.
i'm betting the east coast bbq'rs are laughing at us west coasters, complaining about heat and sun. trust us all, it's just too hot to tend to a fire in 100F heat. i'll do a late chicken dinner after the sun goes over my neighbors house just to get some shade when i grill. 630P start time usually is a good start. dinner can be plated by 730/745 then, when it's still 90+ outside.
