Bridget... no thanks!
I think I'll brave that stuff called "grits" , and I'm sure the sweet tea will be just what I need...

Boby, sorry I didn't answer your question earlier. For my gazpacho I got some wonderful ripe cybertomatoes, nothing to do with the pale pinky stuff that we get here in England as well. Fresh plum tomatoes are a good option, as they are often more flavourful than regular ones. Otherwise, I just make do with what we have, and pine for those beautiful red-and-green tomatoes I can get in Spain...

And about yesterday, thank you everyone... it was much fun!
