Ja, sehr. I do feel we made the most of it, tho.

Thanks! It’s my favorite gazpacho for sure. Every time I make it I vow to skip the sieving, but always break down. It’s a chore but worth it.

I agree. Straining makes all the difference here. It’s a chore. I broke my cheap-o strainer a couple of summers ago making a lot of gazpacho. I found a replacement set from All Clad (on the ding-and-dent site), and so far, it’s holding up to the task. The handles are riveted on, not welded.

With my salmorejo everything goes into the Vitamix for 1 minute. Sieving unnecessary.

Same. Midwest here, too. Same about the glop/burp deli salads. I’ve been steaming instead of boiling the eggs of late, and they are much easier to peel streamed. Haven’t tried the water glass trick yet, though.

I used to pick sweet corn for money. Great corn doesn’t need to be cooked, IMHO. Still, it’s one of my favorite seasonal indulgences. Like asparagus, though, I almost eat myself sick of the stuff when in season.
