Or better still, a Day of Soup. A nice chilled soup for this weather. A gazpacho, perhaps. I once made b a chilled crab and melon soup, that was nice and refreshing.
I occasionally have a yearning for the King of chilled soups, the Vichysoisse. Makes me wonder why I don't just fúcking make some.
I put chilli in my gazpacho, gives it a nice tingle. Ever had salmorejo or ajo blanco?
I once poured myself a bowl of liquidy mayonnaise at a buffet, thinking it was vichysoisse.
