They’re calling it a heat wave, and we’re hitting temperatures hotter than Aqaba (which by the way gets really hot in the summer). Central Air Conditioning isn’t a thing in most homes.

Have I mentioned that before? On any given day I can live on cheese and bread, and Diet Coke of course. Baked Brie is probably one of my favorite cold-weather renditions of cheese.
