Survive this heat wave
I read a sign on the out side of a Church that said, "No, it is not hotter than hell".  But it is hotter than we have seen all over the country this year.  We all need to take special precautions and especially remember to drink more water.  Dehydration can come quickly when it's this hot; especially to children playing out side.  The red cross has posted some guide line that are benificial to all of us.

The American Red Cross has dedicated a portion of its site to heat waves.
The page explains information on heat-indexes. The site also provides a Heat Wave Safety Checklist to keep you healthy. You'll want to pay attention to this.
It lists what to do before and during a heat wave. It's likely that a situation could arise. So it also has instructions on how to treat and care for heat illness. With temperatures up across the country, this site could save your life.Source, kimkomando.com

Heat Wave Safety Checklist

In recent years, excessive heat has caused more deaths than all other weather events, including floods. A heat wave is a prolonged period of excessive heat, often combined with excessive humidity. Generally temperatures are 10 degrees or more above the average high temperature for the region during summer months, last for a long period of time and occur with high humidity as well.
Know the Difference
Excessive Heat Watch—Conditions are favorable for an excessive heat event to meet or exceed local Excessive Heat Warning criteria in the next 24 to 72 hours.
Excessive Heat Warning—Heat Index values are forecast to meet or exceed locally defined warning criteria for at least 2 days (daytime highs=105-110° Fahrenheit).
Heat Advisory—Heat Index values are forecast to meet locally defined advisory criteria for 1 to 2 days (daytime highs=100-105° Fahrenheit).


Preparedness Fast Facts

What should I do during a heat wave?

  • Listen to a NOAA Weather Radio for critical updates from the National Weather Service (NWS).
  • Never leave children or pets alone in enclosed vehicles.
  • Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids even if you do not feel thirsty. Avoid drinks with caffeine or alcohol.
  • Eat small meals and eat more often.
  • Avoid extreme temperature changes.
  • Wear loose-fitting, lightweight, light-colored clothing. Avoid dark colors because they absorb the sun’s rays.
  • Slow down, stay indoors and avoid strenuous exercise during the hottest part of the day.
  • Postpone outdoor games and activities.
  • Use a buddy system when working in excessive heat.
  • Take frequent breaks if you must work outdoors.
  • Check on family, friends and neighbors who do not have air conditioning, who spend much of their time alone or who are more likely to be affected by the heat.
  • Check on your animals frequently to ensure that they are not suffering from the heat.
 Note: Please  click on all the article and read them,  stay safe and cool.
  


Substitutions of ingredients in a recipe

What should you do if you are in the middle of a recipe and realize you are out of an ingredient? You could send your child to the local convenience store for cream cheese and end up having to serve your caviar with Velveeta because to a 13-year-old they are both soft cheeses. This really happened when my Mother sent me for cream cheese.
Instead of sending off the kids, or launching into a panic attack and reaching for the Zoloft, try substituting.
Here are a few quick and simple substitutions.
--When using fresh herbs instead of dried, use 1 Tablespoon fresh for 1 teaspoon dry.
--Vinegar for lemon juice. Use ½ teaspoon white vinegar for 1 teaspoon lemon juice.
--When your recipe calls for buttermilk add 1 Tablespoon of white vinegar to your regular milk. Some old banana bread recipes even call for this substitution.
--1/8 teaspoon of garlic powder can be substituted for 1 clove of fresh garlic.
--1 pound of fresh mushrooms will be about the same as a 10 ounce can of mushrooms.
--Powdered sugar can substitute for granulated sugar in baking. If you are looking for a delightful taste alternative try a cup of honey with a pinch of baking soda in place of a cup of granulated sugar.
--2 cups of fresh chopped tomatoes is equivalent to a 16 ounce can of crushed tomatoes. You may have to drain the can or adjust for moisture in the recipe.
--Adding about 2 Tablespoons of  molasses to a cup of granulated sugar will substitute well for a single cup of brown sugar.
--Sherry or port wine can be used instead of red or white wine. Just lower the amount to 2 Tablespoons equals ½ cup.
