on gazpacho day. As Dad once
described it, "We went to the fruits,
and like a professional taster, I
savored the flavor of fruit from each
bush and tree. After I had tasted all
of them, it was easy to tell which
were the sweetest."
Sometimes, Mr. Poset even gives
us a couple of his fresh-grown sug-
arcane sticks. He must really like us,
because those are the ones he uses
in his special pies. The recipes for
those pies are top-secret.
Those are the ingredients we
need to make a very good pot of
gazpacho. Once they are set out
on the counter, we are ready to
chop all the vegetables. To make
this quick, because we have so
many things to cut up, you have to
get moving the knife down to a sci-
ence. Roll back and forth, back
and forth, chop and slide, chop
and slide.
Every so often we stop and fold
the veggies like you do to a bowl
of cake batter. Small talk holds us
ht during certain cutting times,
while at other times we engage in
deep conversations about life.
Although gazpacho day itself is a
surprise, we actually prepare for it all
summer. In the beginning of the sea-
son, we go down to the ocean and
fill six buckets with fresh salt water.
We take them home and let the water
evaporate, then we are left with pure
ocean salt. To five of the buckets we
add fresh herbs from our garden. The
sixth is left in the yard until gazpacho
day, when we pull it out and use milk
and tomatoes to make the base of our
gazpacho.
After our extended preparation,
we toss everything into a deep,
steel pot. Then we all head out to
the patio for fresh lemonade and
homemade iced tea. Every few min-
utes, we casually go inside and
rasp the spoon against the bottom
of the pot to make sure the milk
does not scorch the base. After the
soup has spent hours on the stove,
it is ready for its final step. It takes
all five of us to lift the gigantic pot
off the stove and into the ol.d Sears
refrigerator.
We each take half a citrus fruit.
take an orange, Mom and Dad
take limes, and the twins take
lemons. All the juice is squeezed
into the pot. The air smells wonder-
ful from the combination of citrus
fruit, and with this we have conclud
ed the process of making our sour
We pour some gazpacho into a
bowl. Dad grabs spoons that we
clink together, making a toast with
wishes for this summer and the
upcoming year.
The soup chills until morning,
when Mom and Dad put the por-
tions we will gladly share with
friends into pickle jars. My orother
and sister and I sit and color labels
to stick on the jars. What an amaz-
ing experience gazpacho is for my
family each summer. I1
