During May I was thinking that maybe I had just remembered it from last summer as being worse than it had been. May was quite tolerable, sometimes even nice.
But then June came. And I remembered.
It's hot in San Antonio.
Luckily, we've found a few ways to keep cool:
Going "toobing" down the Comal River. We went on Saturday morning (you HAVE to go early before the crowds come with their beer coolers).
Truthfully, toobing the Comal river is my favorite thing about living in this place. Kent probably got tired of me saying how much fun I think the river is.
But when something makes me so happy, I just can't keep it inside.
On Saturday night we went to Dallin and Cindy's to "roast marshmallows and eat ice cream." When they called to ask if we'd bring a bag of ice, I almost didn't even dare to hope that meant they were making homemade ice cream.They were! And we ate it!
And then, they even gave us their old ice cream machine! Oh joy! So of course, our Family Home Evening activity on Monday was making homemade strawberry ice cream. Right here in our dining room.
The recipe I found online was from the early 1900's, and it directed that you heat the strawberries and sugar until boiling, then "remove from the fire and let cool."
Kent was a little bit anxious about us messing up the recipe--I don't always exactly follow recipes, but it turned out absolutely delicious, even without boiling over the fire.
