Gazpacho

Finally the summer is here and what could be better that have a star dish for the summer nights. I've modified a little bit the recipe (I take out the bread to make it lighter). 

I'm always looking forward for the summer to make the Gazpacho and to remind my mum’s gazpacho in Spain.

The ingredients that you are doing to need are:

-       4 ripe tomatoes (cut in half each tomato and take off the steam)

-       1/2 green pepper

-       1/2 cucumber (small)

-       1 clove of garlic

-       A pinch of salt

-       6 spoons of olive oil

-       2 spoons of white vinegar

Place all the ingredients in a blender and blend them till the mixture is smooth.

Poor the gazpacho into coarse strainer and it´s ready to eat or to drink depending the container you used to delight your palate.

You can play with the amount of garlic, olive oil and vinegar to obtain your special recipe because how we say in Spain, “For different tastes we have different colors” that is “"Everyone to his own taste."

Friday

Today is Friday and at least it´s not raining. I like Fridays because are the beginning of the weekends and the fun things.

This Friday is a little bit different, my friends, better said a lot of people in Spain are attending to demonstrations to change the political situation. I´m disconnected from this situation because I´m living abroad for nearly 5 years now but I know that everybody was telling me “Don´t return to Spain now the crisis is unsustainable” and it should be because the protest now is in every city even in from of the Spanish Embassies abroad.
I´m glad of this awake because the strange thing was that nobody made anything, the unemployment figures are alarming, 19.4%, incredible.

The name of the group that has organized the demonstration is “Real Democracy now” and I wish that they achieve their goals because are the goals of all the Spanish people.  

I let you a link, is from a Spanish newspaper that now has the English option is you want go deeper El País.
