Heat related blog outage!

Hi everyone! Sorry about the lack of posts the past few days - the heat has been absolutely ridiculous here in Toronto and I haven't felt like doing a whole lot of writing. On top of the crazy heat and humidity, the aircon in our building (yes, the entire building) chose this weekend to collapse under the strain. Just this morning around 8:30 did it manage to go back up; after horrible sleeping conditions, sweating doing nothing and barely able to cook - finally its back. Just as the heat is breaking, naturally.

I've got a few posts lined up for you - the very first selection of the ReadEatCook Book Club for August, a pesto making post, a review of my dinner at Centro as part of Summerlicious, a Gazpacho soup recipe to help beat the heat and finally, a post on making Christine's Galbi Jim (with pictures, but lacking one of the final product - I ate it too quickly to photograph. Its THAT kind of good. Damn good.)

So, enjoy the posts, comment away and keep cool in this nasty heatwave!
