Menu For a HOT Day

Every Tuesday night my son and his lady come over and have dinner with us. She and my daughter are avid foodies and I might add, are damn good at it, so they take turns each week working their mad skills in the kitchen. Ever since my oldest daughter decided she enjoyed cooking, I have pretty much given up my domain in the kitchen. I gotta tell you, I don't always like it, although cooking is NOT something I particularly enjoying doing (in other words: foodie I am not) . But when I do find a recipe that tickles my fancy I do enjoy it. So tonight, in this east coast hot and humid weather, I am trying out a gazpacho recipe that a super good friend sent me. We will have a pasta salad that my daughter made up, along side. Avocado Gazpacho Prep: 30 minutes Cook: ZERO Servings: ~8 Ingredients: 5 avocados, diced 2 cups cucumbers, diced 5 tomatoes, diced 1 medium leek, diced 2 cups vegetable stock 2 tablespoons lemon juice salt and pepper to taste 1/2 cup coarsely broken tortilla chips
