Holy cow! This totally brought back the nightmare that was called "Tuna Casserole Night". I can remember taking forever to eat the nasty concoction while I pushed the little mushroom molecules from the cream of mushroom soup to the side of my plate. Nope, I wasn't a picky eater as a child, not at all. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Oh my gosh. I lovvvvvvve tuna noodle casserole! Blush

Me too!! My wicked step-dad used to make it when I was little. He didn't do a true casserole version, he did it stove top style. Very simple. Elbow macaroni, cream of mushroom soup, chedder cheese, can of tuna! And there it is. Oh...It's great fresh but does not heat up well the next day.

That does sound good, and quick. I like quick meals. In our house with NO AC, the kitchen gets pretty hot, so from the first heat wave and on, I prefer quick meals to get me in and out of the kitchen asap.

Ditto. In the Summer we do a lot of grilling, no AC. k

My husband had a guy in a few weeks ago to get a quote about putting in central. We haven't heard back from the guy. THIS cannot be a good sign. I think our house is just too old, and too small, and sooooo not worth the work. I'll just camp out at work during the really hot days. My kids too. I'll set them up in the conference room with movies and snacks. Worked for us last year. Roll eyes

We only got a window unit in our bedroom the first summer that we had Dane. Baby wouldn't eat or drink when it got too hot and daddy was worried that baby would get dehydrated. Nevermind the fact that mommy had been miserably hot at night and unable to sleep for YEARS. Damned spoiled kid! Wink

When my husband and I lived in a horse barn (yep- you read right)...all aluminum even!...we used to take rides in the car with the air conditioning on. It'd get so hot in there that you'd hop in the shower, get out with minimal drying, and then have to hop back in 10 minutes later due to heat stroke! Tongue

Of course, with the price of gas now, we'd probably just take about 20 more showers!

Rides with the AC on used to be an option....but, as you said...."With the price of gas now"....the cool car ride may not be an option.

It probably uses more gas to drive with the windows open, since you increase the drag on the car. /wife of Physics geek. Tongue
