Your question inspired me to replace it with a better scan of the pic. It is a detail from a John Singer Sargent painting called "El Jaleo".
I noticed that fans on the Ledge refer to Stevie as "La Nicks" and it reminded me of how Flamenco dancers usually have a title, for instance, "la Rubia, "La Monica". I am a big Flamenco fan, and the more I thought about it, the more I realized that Stevie has a lot of the qualities of great Flamenco artists - minus the amazing footwork, of course!

Oh yes, and to keep with the soup theme, here is a recipe for Spanish Gazpacho!


* 10 oz of bread
* 21 oz. of tomato
* 2 cloves of garlic
* 2 onions
* 2 red and green peppers
* 1 cucumber (optional)
* 7 tablespoons of oil
* 2 tablespoons of vinegar
* 1 1/2 tablespoon of water
* Cumin (optional)

1. In a big mortar mash the cumin, the garlic and the soaked bread, in a plastic bowl mix the chopped onion, the chopped tomato, the oil, the vinegar, the salt and the contents of the mortar, mash it with the mixer and add very cold water to mix everything. Add salt and strain it.
2. Keep it in the fridge until served.
3. Serve with the tomato, the cucumber, the pepper and the toasted bread cut to dices.
