Is anyone in touch with Margaret Suran? She hasn't posted in over a
week and I'm concerned.

Can we get a blow by blow report on the wedding food and drink when you
return? Everything from the rehearsal dinner, the bridal and grooms
cakes, to the morning after brunch! Spare no detail. I love post party
reviews!

It was dreadful there yesterday. Rather than our usual rambles around
pleasant outdoor venues, we ducked into the Brooklyn Art Museum and
saw old and new Japanese artwork. Their cafe is the spot where we
found the pasta topped pizza.

At least in Miami, they know air conditioning. We northerners need to
learn more about that new-fangled device.

My grandfather offered my aunt that when she and her fiancee were
planning on a visit to city hall.
He told them he'd pay for the wedding or give them a check. They were
better off taking the wedding, being from a large family. Ended up
with double what Grandpa offered them, a rather princely sum for the
40's.

Margaret, have a safe and wonderful trip! We'll all look forward to seeing
you back. I'm very sorry for the loss of your friend.

You have my sympathy for the passing of your friend.

Our son is getting married on the 20th in the mountains about
an hour from here. We are very happy with his choice.

I hope you have a safe trip and a wonderful time with the family.

Congratulations on both counts, dear Margaret! I often find it more
difficult to find a dress for an occasion than the difficulty
experienced by the bride in finding a husband <g>

>Also, a dear friend died last week and Marcel and I spent

I am very sorry to hear this. Condolences to you both.

Gazpacho! Gosh, I haven't thought of gazpacho since last summer.
Brilliant! I was racking my brain trying to think of a good summer
meal offering for our joint family Father's Day brunch. Perfect!

@@@@@ Now You're Cooking! Export Format

Gazpacho

soups and stews

1 clove garlic
3 pounds tomatoes
2 cucumbers
1/2 cup green pepper; minced
1/2 cup onion; minced
2 cups tomato juice
1/3 cup olive oil
3 tablespoons vinegar
salt and pepper
1/4 teaspoon Tabasco sauce

Chop the garlic very fine and add to a large bowl with the tomatoes,
peeled, seeded and chopped. Try to save as much of th4e tomato juice
as you can. Peel and seed the cucumbers and add to the bowl with the
pepper, onion and tomato juice. Add the olive oil and seasonings,
cover and chill thoroughly. Taste for seasoning. Let rest 12 or more
hours to allow flavors to meld.
