THUNDER BAY – That classic Canadianism, “Is it hot enough for you?” certainly makes perfect sense today. The temperature at 4PM in Thunder Bay is a balmy 30C, and it feels slightly hotter with the Humidex included.
The heat, coupled with the sunshine means wearing sunscreen, and keeping hydrated.
Hot weather also means choosing something cold to enjoy!
This is a quick and easy dessert that can be made anytime — and with other fruit combinations. Keep fresh Ontario fruit in your freezer and you’re good to go!
