The time: August, 1974. The place:
Since it was too hot to cook in the kitchen, dad would barbecue chicken marinated
in soy sauce and green onions (which always came off the grill looking more black than brown, but still tasted good), and mom would make cold noodles with homemade peanut sauce, a salad of iceberg lettuce with tomato wedges and homemade “thousand island” dressing (mayonnaise mixed with ketchup), and cold marinated cucumbers. The fan would cool us off from the outside-in; the cold cucumbers would cool us off from the inside-out.
This is another dish that my own kids have grown fond of. And one summer when I made this for my brother-in-law in Sun Valley , he was still talking about them the next day. However, it doesn’t need to be a “scorching” 85 to break this one out. It’s a refreshing recipe, no matter what the temperature is.
