it's summertime here--a good time to let the kids help in the kitchen

my daughter has been helping me make gazpacho lately.  all you need is a blender and a not-too sharp knife for chopping.  at eight, she can easily cut things like cucumbers with no problem.

gazpacho ingredients--take all these items, chop coarsely and let you little one throw them in the blender and press the buttons:

6 or 7 ripe tomatoes
1 big cucumber
some sprigs of basil, a bunch of cilantro or parsley
handful of chives
1 red bell pepper
some crushed garlic
juice from one fresh lime
a splash of balsamic vinegar
salt and pepper to taste

there's not a hard and fast way to make gazpacho, so have fun letting your kids alter the portions so you can concoct your family's own special brand.  serve chilled with a basil leaf garnish.
