Notes: This recipe come from Tosca Reno's Eat-Clean book. This is a really good Gazpacho...it is one of the best I've tried.
You can also garnish the soup with diced cucumber & red pepper and add a dollop of plain yogurt.
QUIP:
Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit.
Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
FARM MEMORY:
VICIOUS LITTLE SAVAGES
My Uncle Jer (Jerome) has a wonderful imagination. He used to plan most of our games. He would take control of us so our parents could visit with Gramma & Grandpa Sherrer.
I distinctly remember playing “WAR” back in the swamp/marsh or whatever it was. There would be 2 teams and we’d plan strategies and try to take over each other's territories.
Now, if you got caught by the other team, and became a Prisoner of War the punishment was that they got to hit you over the head with a green apple stuck on the end of a stick until the apple broke and you WERE NOT allowed to cry.
I’m not really sure why we wanted to play this. We were scared to death but heaven forbid if we weren’t included to play.
This game was one of those that we “couldn’t tell our parents” about.
