Now We’re Cooking Without Gas
March 10th, 2009 • Related • Filed Under
Gas on demand is a luxury of the first world. Here in Chelem when the cylinder is empty we employ our wicked expat ingenuity. It’s rough out here, people; we live by our wits. Forced to subsist on brie, bread and chili since Sunday, I am taking back lunch. Today I blend vegetables and recover my humanity.
Gazpacho in the Time of Despair
1 can diced tomatoes with onions
1 yellow pepper
1 orange pepper
1/2 a cucumber
splash of olive oil
cajun spice
cilantro
blend it up, baby. garnish with…spicy orange stuff – Valencia? and green onions. Enjoy!
