1. Thanks for the reminder!

There was a nice little restaurant near my 'old' office, and they had great gazpacho. Unfortunately neither the restaurant nor office is still in existence.

Have to find a substitute.

2. Oh, yum.

I love cold, vegetable soups.

I hope to get a garden in before it's too late this summer and will refer back to this if I have any success.

Thanks!
