hotter than a beeyotch

i don't know how i do it.  i don't know how we do it, day in and day out (or at least every summer).  it's hot in the kitchen.  goddamn hot.  sometimes it's hot, sometimes it's really hot.  last night the thermometers on line were all reading between 104 and 110.  i kept grabbing salad plates and thinking they were right out of the dishwasher but they were just hot from sitting there, five feet away from the pizza oven.  and it was muggy in there too, and smoky for the first part of the day cause we were smoking pork loins for our special (the smoker is right outside the back door).  anyway, it was f**king hot.  so we did the old wet towel in the freezer bit.  anybody else ever do that?  a few clean, wet towels go into the freezer, then wrapped around our necks.  it's something i've seen variations on in every kitchen i've ever worked.  also, it's not at all uncommon to see cases of otter pops in the freezer.  anyway, does anybody have any kickass staying cool tips for me, or is my kitchen the only one that's routinely 100+ degrees on the line?

Well I'm sure Cornstarch in my Crotch knows exactly what you mean. A lot can be said for drinking a gallon of ice water. The fucked up thing about the heat is dehydration which will throw off your homeostasis.

i have moved from cornstarch to Body glide. it is made for athletes to help with chaffing issues. it comes as a handy "deodorant stick". only one application is needed per day.
the bathroom at my work is 100+
