Recipe for Gazpacho.

Into a blender place a tin of tomatoes, 1/3 cucumber, 2 sticks of celery, a little garlic, salt, pepper and a little lemon juice. Blend. If you want to serve it immediately add a few ice cubes before blending.

I like salad but for me and my knackered digestive system it is a bit of a faff. I cannot touch salad leaves. Tomatoes have to be peeled. So does cucumber then sliced paper thin. Peppers need to be cooked and peeled so I usually by them in a jar ready done. Also from a jar, black olives.

Instead of my usual fish and chips tonight I am having fish in breadcrumbs with Jersey Royal potatoes and salad. I've been working on the salad part a bit at a time since this morning.
