ooh, how i envy you dawg, and every one of you who has a successful tomato crop this summer! ooh, ooh, i loove tomatoes, almost as much as i love mushrooms. yeh, THAT much, it's sick! we are still in 'hanover' tomato month here in va--our driscolls, or 'top shelf' tomato variety of the east. just today, i bought some 'cherry medley' tomatoes from a local organic farm, 'radical roots'. omg! these yellow, orange and red tommies are sweet as i've ever had. some of the yellow ones are actually bell or tear-shaped--the sweetest of them all, and probably low-acid too, i'm guessing? this year, tomato prices in this area have remained steep throughout the season, but worth every penny when they are so impossibly delicious, impossible to describe with words....
has anyone made gazpacho this summer? do any of you include clam juice or clamato in your recipe? any other unusual ingredient to make your gazpacho special?
