Well the only reason I checked it out was because I hate butter. I just can't stand the smell of it for some reason and have eaten Margarine my whole life. And everytime I go in for my check ups, for some reason my Bad Cholesterol is damn near non existant and my good cholesterol is always low too. Another reason I checked it out too was because I remember hearing (from my dad too even) that nothing would grow (mold etc...) in margarine or it wouldn't rot. I knew he was full of doo doo one week when I found a small tub of margarine on top of the microwave that I forgot I put up there and it was full of mold and stunk really bad. Sorry trying not to gross anyone out LOL. Just goes to show ya, Don't beleive everything ya read. I think half of the emails that float around out there are just out there to make half us look like morons at one time or another LOL. (not calling anyone a moron here ok, chill out lol)

It's getting warmer, so I made my gazpacho tonight.YUMMMM. Chunk up a whole cucumber, a red pepper, a green pepper, stalk of celery, several green onions. Add to a big can of tomato puree or a can of tomato juice. Add 1T dried onions, tabasco to taste, parsley, salt and pepper, worcestershire sauce.

Now if you are like me and like chunky peanut butter, cookies with nuts, and all that -- don't blend it. Just put it in the fridge to cool, and scoop out bowls full. It's great with fresh whole wheat bread.

If you like smooth stuff without chunks - you creamy peanut butter fans - then put the whole thing in a blender and nuke it to your hearts content. Serve with a little fresh parsley.

I'm not crazy about cold soups, but this is really great even in cold weather. But waaaaaay excellent in out Phoenix hot hot hot weather.

Cowgirl, your gazpacho sounds really good. My mom makes a really good ratatouille that's pretty similar to gazpacho (We're French in heritage). Sounds good it makes me really hungry! I must remember to avoid this thread in order to keep my hot chiseled body!

Who am I kidding? Tonight I went to Piesano's for chicken alfredo pizza.

thanks - Oh... I just read through the recipe.... Need to add about 1/8 c olive oil and 1/4 c apple cider vinegar to that recipe. Sorry I don't have amounts, I just toss it all together and it tastes good. If you aren't sure, always try a little less to start and then add more to taste. safer that way.

Thanks for the update. Do you ever use balsamic vinegar in your gazpacho? Balsamic with chilled veggies is delicious IMHO.

It sure is! I had baba ganoush tonight with balsamic and oil. It was fantastic! I like to spice up meals every now and then by adding exotic foods.

It's 75 degrees here. I might grill some shrimp and make pina coladas!
