Hot August Nights and...


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Hot_august_night.jpg

If you remember this album you can say you are a fan of wine and patio parties transferred to a concert lawn.


Bring back those carefree days.


Instead of the Boones Farm, try a almost white or pale yellow to moderate wine to conquer /complement the heat in the air and the food...

Grenache

Champagne

Chardonnay


If you are adventurous go with the Champagne.

Why?


Bubbles in wine and champagne cam assist in smoothing the heat !!

And Heat in this fish baste/sauce elevates a white fleshed fish .win- Win!!


Make tacos with this! Drink some Grenache

Start by accompanying a cod grilled and basted with a tangy sauce

You have a grown up palate-


And instead of another round of siracha (so 2008 ) https://fortune.com/2019/10/05/sriracha-thai-chili-sauce-huy-fong-david-tran/



Make your own Elote Sauce. Its very 2022 and on the same side of the Globe.


Elote sauce is a bit of a misnomer: Elotes means corn on the cob in Mexico and eating Elotes in their sauce is a street food right of passage. https://juleeho.com/food-history-101-blog/history-of-elote


What makes this a Hot August Night is the cooking of your ordinary white fleshed fish transformed / flavored with a little bit of culinary heat.
