RecipesLovestory

I still cannot post proper titles....If I put a space between two words....they all disappear...and a strange bunch of numbers and symbols appear...and no one can tell me how to remedy this.
SUNDAY....today we did ok....and had the largest percentage of buyers every... I think only two people who entered, didnt buy anything...Unfortunately, there werent that many people..But I am thankful....and all were nice people......no one aggravated me...and lately, that doesnt take much. Yesterday we had a very sweet couple that came late and stayed till after 7. We talked about business, and that led to their "story" and other spiritual things. They both were extrememly good looking, and when she told me she had a 14 year old, I didnt belive her..Both of them looked in their mid to late twenties.....They put a deposti down on a sofa, and said they would contemplate the purchase of a desk.. Well they returned and purchaded both....They came with a third person who I thought was her brother..He was about 6'2....When I asked if he was her brother she laughed, no he is my son....He looked 19 to 20, not 14, and his behavior and language was as mature as his looks.
They told me they were high school sweethearts...but their parents made them break up....they married other people...raised a family...they both got a divorce, almost simultaneously...and hooked up again....their love was still burning, and they finally got married. The magic of this is that they never aged....they are in their 40's.....and look in their twenties..... ANd they are so happy, that their seems to be a golden auroa radiating around them.
GASPACHO INSTANTE: or V OCHO GASPACHO (V8 Gaspacho) Those of you who want to impress friends with a hard to find soup...can make it in a few minutes.... Pre chill
a can of V8 Vegtable Juice or Tomatoe Juice....Put it in a large pottery bowl. Add
around 4 tablespoon vinegar (not balsamic) about 1/4cup extra virgin olive oil, one large clove of garlic crushed, fresh ground pepper, salt to taste....a pinch of sugar. Some options: splash of Worchester sauce..one to two tablespoons of grated orchopped onion. Mixed all the ingredients and refrigerate for at least an hour...
Before serving you can add all or some of the following: grapes,cut in half and seeds removed, red and green pepper chopped up, small chunks of assorted mellon, chopped scallions, 3/4 pieces of crispy Romaine lettuce, ....etc
I used to have Gaspacho soup 40 years ago in a jestaurant called the JAI LAI off of Bleeker st in NYC..and they served Gaspacho a bit spicy, and mellon and grapes..and it was awesom..... TRY this.....no cooking involved....
DUMPLINGS ala Chinese or Thai Restaurant.... Trader Joes sells frozen dumpling Chinese and Thai style....and they are good. But you need a good dipping sauce....so here are a few recipes.....
Use a microwavable bowl: add roasted sesasmi oil, two tablespoons.....then one tablespoon of hoisin sauce, and two table spoons water....few drops of hot chili oil or tobasco...whip it into a smooth sauce...heat...and dip.
Add to soysauce, a pinch of ground star anise or Chinese 7 spice, chopped scallion,a few drops of sesami oil, and chili oil.....heat and eat....
