For some reason, my kitchen also faces west.  In the evening sun, it's 
not fun, either.  I usually open a window and a cross window in the 
front room when I have the oven going on a hot day.  It hit about 90 and 
humid here today.

Tonight I'm frying up thin steak with onions and peppers.  Kind of like 
philly steak sandwiches, but probably served over white rice.
