This week Toronto had its first official heat wave of the season and I’m positively giddy. Yes, I know heat waves are uncomfortable and their frequency is further evidence that we well and truly effed-up the world, but I love them. As a person who is constantly in search of a large body of water to jump into, I really appreciate this level of heat. You can live in your bikini, pop in the water, get out and wait to get hot again, then rinse and repeat. Also, during a heat wave, it’s perfectly respectable ( I realize we may defer on our idea of respectable) to eat ice cream with every meal. When you really think about it, today’s Salted Vanilla Affogato is just an elaborate plot to put ice cream in your morning coffee. You wouldn’t fight me on that, right? Didn’t think so.
