One of the best things about the summer is the fresh fruits and vegetables that you can get a) from the local farmer's market, b) straight off the vine, or c) sometimes, occasionally, usually with some type of apprehension 
that it just isn't going to be fresh no matter if the farm is just across the parking lot, from the local supermarket. Mini-rant here: How do the supermarkets manage to make fresh fruits and vegetables almost completely and totally unattractive from a a local farm right down the road? Or, why is someone trying to convince me that a farm 162 miles from this location is local? It isn't so stop lying to me. Rant off.
Ok, so if you grow your own veggies, you know that for whatever reason, they all seem to come in at once. Great I've got fresh tomatos! Drat, I've got a bucket full and I don't know what to do with them. Dude, look at all these cucumbers! Blagga frag it, I don't know what to do with them either! Well, I suggest that you calm youself with a nice glass of Sauvignon Blanc because I've got a solution, a nice cold soup. And my favorite cold soup of the summer is gazpacho.
