All I've wanted to eat since this heat wave came along is gazpacho soup. After two weeks, I had the brilliant idea of combing some cookbooks for something new and there it was - green gazpacho. It has tomatillos, green onions and peppers, jalapeños, lots of herbs and lime juice. I was really excited to make it. I'm not sure if it was because I didn't use tomatillos (couldn't find any) or because I didn't marinate the vegetables overnight (should've read the recipe through) or what, but I didn't really like it that much. It felt a bit stringy. I will work on that one.
I've been making iced tea nearly every day. I have tonnes of loose green tea and I'm drinking way more of it iced than I ever did hot. It works really well - a few spoons in a big jar of cold water, put it on a sunny windowsill to steep, then add a spoon of concentrated lemonade and shake it up and put it in the fridge. A few hours later, it's gone. Mom made this when we were kids, but with black tea. Yum!
