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.

No, there's another one and It's on the tip of my tongue. It's French and it starts with a V.

David - that's quite a creative little use of lentils. I hate liver, but it's still cool.
Suze - that is a simple soup. I don't love kale, but it's better when cooked...i think.

Garabonzos are great for you and I rarely eat them, so that's a good plan.

k, I can't remember who denounced its name but cold soup has its place in society. I was on a cruise awhile back and I had a chilled strawberry soup that was so goddamn good I nearly fainted. Mmmmm.

Anyway, I'm a fan of wonton - the real kind. And miso. But the miso ususally preceeds shrimp tempura and a kick ass Dynamite roll and a little unagi, so does that count?

that's exactly what I eat at Japanese restaurants.
Strawberry soup is different, isn't it? It's like a daquiri in a bowl? (I've never heard of strawberry soup)
Oh, and it was Paula who nixxed all mention of cold soup. She's a soup nazi.
"NO COLD SOUP FOR YOU!"
