Gazpacho (cold soup)

Used canned tomatoes.  Thyme.  No sherry vinegar.  That's a lot of soup.  Half recipe.  Canned or over ripe emergency use tomatoes.  Forgot salt, pepper.  Seasoned at the end.  OK

Tomato, Black Olive, Feta, Red Onion Salad

 

I used white onions instead of red onions.  White wine instead of red wine.  Olives in water instead of olives in oil.  Dried mint instead of fresh mint.  Yikes 4 servings and says serve immediately.  No one has eaten anything I have cooked in years.  So I guess I will find out what happens if you don't serve immediately.

Blackened Corn & Grape Tomato Salad

Fresh thyme is a bust, dried thyme probably OK and less cost and time.  English cucumber good.  Radishes OK, keep and add Radicchio if found.  Corn was hard to blacken right.  Used 1/4 sweet onion instead of shallot.  Used shoepeg corn, canned.

Tastes pretty good and looks like more than 4 servings.

Cooking 10 Things Tomatoes Shopping

I shopped with the book in my cart at Safeway.  I concentrated on Gazpacho (soup), Tomato, Black Olive, and Feta Salad, and Blackened Corn and Grape Tomato Salad.

The bill was 48.96 with treats.  I will need to get Black Pepper and more tomatoes.  

I didn't buy Mayo, olive oil, garlic, finely chopped garlic, vinegar, oregano, canola oil, lemon.

The Safeway didn't have radicchio.  Radicchio is like napa cabbage and is red.  I just bought some radishes instead.

Gazpacho - 8 servings,
Blackened Corn & Grape Tomato Salad - 4 servings
Tomato, Black Olive & Feta Salad - 4 servings
