One of the joys of living in Los Gatos comes from the wide daily temperature swing in the summer. Even on hot days, most nights are cool, and so we tend to sleep with open windows and an exhaust fan rather than relying on air conditioning.

I didn’t have anything garlic-friendly for breakfast (sprinkling garlic on my Joe’s O’s didn’t appeal), but dinner may well be another story.
