Betcha can't have just one

So today I bought some Pringles. I did that because I didn't trust myself with an entire bag of normal chips so I went with a smaller option.

As I was carrying my groceries in I got to thinking that I really wanted to eat a lot. And that there slogan was really stupid. Betcha can't have just one.  Well, yeah, I bet you cant have just one of a lot of things. And I thought this post was going to be really funny listing the things maybe you could have just one of.

But then I actually read the top of the can.

Wrong slogan.

That's the kind of day it has been. Mixing up chip slogans.

Lays. Betcha can't have just one
Pringles. Once you pop the fun don't stop

What have we learned today? Watch more tv eat less chips.

Gazpacho

I haven't had any good stories lately. Maybe because I've stopped putting myself in situations where embarrassing things happen.

I will tell you though, the power of a smile and being nice, gets you $40 off new set of tires.

That's neither here nor there.

A few months ago, Elyse's mom was in town and made gazpacho. I'd never had it before, and it was spectacular. So I went to the store and got everything to make it. There are a lot of different recipes. Lots of different ingredients, so I'm excited to try this again a new way too.

This made a boatload so next time I will half it because I'm going to be eating this forever.

7 tomatoes most said 2 pounds 
2 cucumbers
2 green peppers - you can use red or yellow too for different colors
3/4 cup onion - I don't even know who using a measuring cup to measure things anymore, especially onions, but I did not and I should have because I have heartburn or something that does not feel pleasant, I would say half an onion...I did 3/4 of one, and too too much, or maybe I should have blended it more...
4 cloves of garlic - I love love garlic so if you don't, don't use as much
I used a can of tomato sauce
Salt & pepper
And tomato juice to color

       

cut everything and threw half of it in the blender (except the garlic, all that went in the blender)

        

        

It looked something like this. I poured half I to a bowl and added some tomato juice...to color, you'll know when it looks right

        

This. Is not what it looks like, more juice :)
       

And here we are. 
        

The veggies I didn't blend, I cut a lot smaller...bite size, anything that went in the blender, I didn't...depends on your blender size I guess.

So onions more blended, and less of them.

So refreshing, enjoy!
