Normally I would save this recipe for cooler weather, but when you get to August you start needing a change. After Winter I can't wait for summer so I start grilling before grill season so I guess it is just wanting what you haven't had for awhile. I'll be back to my summer meals right away because I can never have enough Summer. That comes from having spent at least 7 years of my childhood in places where we only had warm weather. I'm alright through fall but as soon as we ring in the New Year I am ready for Summer again. I have tried all the snow activities but they just aren't for me.
