We actually had some lower temperatures this past week!
Temperatures are "only" in the 90's now, and we received a little rain. It's still salad nice to have some cool salads, and I hope you try it.

My second child of four, who is my oldest son, had a birthday this past week, and we met near his work for a birthday lunch. He ordered a blueberry cobbler for his free dessert that we shared.
Thank you for your visit! xo
Aww! Happy Birthday to your Son! Bet the cobbler was good!

Your Spicy Asian Chicken Noodle Salad looks and sounds so tasty Kitty! Happy Birthday to Tim! So glad you've had some cooler temperatures. I don't know how you have survived all those 100 degree days. We had some cooler temperatures over the weekend and teaser of fall, but the heat and humidity are cranking back up this week. Happy September ♥
ReplyDeleteGlad you are getting a respite from the heat! We're expected to have temperatures
ReplyDeletearound 100F this week which is unusual for September. Guess the hot weather is why I haven't jumped on the pumpkin spice tea wagon yet...although I have decorated for fall!
The noodle salad looks great!
That noodle salad looks delicious! Happy birthday to your son.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to Tim! "Only" in the 90s. Wow. We have 3 days of that and I'm staying inside. Bless your Texas heart, Kitty. TX has just been stupid hot.this summer.
ReplyDeleteKitty, I hope the weather cools off for you soon. We are also in the 90s this week! The salad looks good and happy birthday to you son. Enjoy the week Kitty.
