As folks try to keep cool, limiting outdoor activities and turning down the A/C to meat-locker cold, we still have to eat. I don't know about you, but I want cool, chilled foods. Cold foods. Frozen foods. Most anything eaten warm or at room temperature is good cold. Cold lamb makes a fabulous sandwich paired with roasted red pepper, fresh GAZPACHO SLUSH A wonderful appetizer, this recipe takes mere minutes to make with a food processor. Open 7 days a week for lunch and dinner, Sat. and Sun, dinner only, 4 Dinner Entrees Cold comfort for these hot days. 1 lb. very ripe tomatoes, cut into large chunks 1 large cucumber, cut into large chunks 1 yellow pepper, cut into large pieces 1 medium-size mild onion (Bermuda, Spanish or Vidalia work well), cut into 1-inch chunks Juice of 1 lime 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves, chopped hot red-pepper sauce to taste, such as Tabasco salt and pepper to taste 6 cups of ice Optional add-ins: cooked beans (any variety), corn kernels, minced hot chilies, chopped avocado, fresh chopped fruits (any vari- ety), roasted vegetables, slivered almonds, pine nuts, vodka or tequila sliced tomatoes and grainy mustard. Hot minestrone soup tastes garden fresh eaten cold. Even hot pastas (not creamy, of course), with the addition of a bit of red wine vinegar and drizzled with extra-virgin olive oil, are fab. Or make a cold pasta salad from the get-go. Here are chilled, cold and frozen recipes for a menu that is no sweat to prepare and offers cool comfort as the mercury rises. Until the next high- pressure system hits, there's no use eating hot when cool is so much more apropos. Place tomatoes in the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade. Pulse until chopped but not pureed (about 5 seconds). Add remaining vegetables and pulse. Add lemon juice, tomato juice, cilantro, Tabasco and seasonings and pulse. Add the ice and pulse until the mixture is slushy. Stir and adjust seasonings to taste. Garnish with sour cream or yogurt if desired. Makes 8 servings.
