That’s right, something cool and luscious to make us forget sweltering sun, high temperature and humidity. In this class of foods come the cool, tinkling drinks, dewy salads and frosty des serts. Even the main dish can be cool, a filling meal salad for those who want hearty foods, jel lied tuna or salm on molds with icy cucumber sauce, ar heaps of satisfying potato salad. Whole meals can be made from cool foods, but it’s a good idea to have something warm, even if only toasted or heated rolls so the family does not tire of them. Sometimes you’ll find a cup of hot tea more cooling with cool foods than an iced drink; other times, it’s just the op posite. Let your judgment guide you.
