This weekend we watched Daryl's House on Palladia.  He always invites guests to his home and they play wonderful music (our favorite is Daryl Hall with Rumor).  Anyway, they play music and have a meal together provided by some local restaurant.  This week they made Gazpacho and it reminded me about my own recipe for Gazpacho.  It is so fresh and healthy.  It's great with a delicious bread.
