If you can't stand the heat..... I am not a sunny climate, hot weather type of person. I know this must be a shock to most of you, but it’s true. I hate the heat. Unfortunately, I live in Los Angeles. I try to think of things that I can make in the morning and pull out of the fridge for dinner. One of my go to meals on a bloody hot day is – cold noodles with sesame sauce. It’s a great dinner and it’s delicious. I always eat it with chop sticks and a very cold glass of wine!
