While you're dancing to Daft Punk in your bathing suit, margarita in hand, with burgers on the grill and a pie in the oven, the last thing you want is a five-minute warning: a reminder that these days will soon be over. Who feels like preparing when there's boozy lemonade and peach cobbler and tomato sandwiches to be had?
