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 Julia Tapper of Orchard Lake is an eighth graderat Hillel Day School o Metropolitan Detroit in Farmington Hills.
