Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Cold soup was not something we had at the Bonk house. I didn't know it was something people ate until I lived in Ann Arbor and had it at the Whiffletree restaurant on Huron Street. The restaurant burned down many years ago. The recipe was once posted in the Ann Arbor News and I adapted it to this one that became, and still is, a summer favorite in our house.
