Also, while it's spring, make pea soup to be eaten cold. I had a pea/asparagus soup recently and it was sublime.

salad of black beans, avocado, tomato, cilantro, lime juice, shredded cheddar is a go-to summer meal for me
chickpeas/lentils/feta with tahini dressing is another one that's pretty good

I have been eating hummus every day for weeks.

What is *also* deluxe is if someone gives you a bunch of home-cooked leftovers you can just pop in the microwave, but you can't really count on that as a meal source.

summer cake suitable for leaving party? can't stand the person who's leaving, but hey, I'm making the cake and I want to enjoy it. Considering this, in solidarity with Nigella: http://www.nigella.com/recipes/view/tropical-chocolate-cake-120

Oh, that cake looks lovely. Thank you Crabbits for posting that link--definitely going to try a few of those.
We've been hosting a gathering every Tuesday; tonight I'm going to make hummus, tziki (sp?), and an attempt at papri chaat served at room temp with cold yogurt. Also some leftover rajas that spouse made yesterday, as a dip with tortilla chips.
Slow cooker has actually been a handy beated the heat kitchen appliance, and of course the grill.

Maybe you could PUSH IT INTO HIS/HER FACE (just kidding, that would be a waste of a delicious cake. Maybe you can make a fake cake with some cool-whip and shove that into his/her face).
Sorry, the heat is making me aggressive.

It's cooling now - or rather, they are (made one for housemates as well). The icing would be pretty ideal for face-pushing.

I do not recommend this cake! It was an uneasy compromise between cheesecake and actual cake, so it just tasted kind of lumpy and un-moist The icing was good in theory (like eating uncooked meringue. Why not!) but the coconut essence taste was too strong.
