Saturday at the Farmers' Market

It's the end of summer and lots of tomatoes were on display, all kinds, all sizes. For 99 cents a pound, how can you go wrong?

End of the Summer Gazpacho

4 large ripe tomatoes, chopped and seeded (I don't bother to seed mine)
2 cucumbers, peeled chopped and seeded
1 large green pepper, chopped and seeded
10-12 green onions, chopped, including green part
1-2 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/4 cup olive oil
3 cups V-8 juice
1-1 1/2 cups water
Tabasco
Worcestershire sauce
Coarsely ground pepper

Beat vinegar and oil with garlic. Combine with chopped vegetables and stir in the V-8 juice. Add water to desired consistency. Season with Tabasco, Worcestershire, pepper. Chill. Serve with thinly sliced cucumbers as garnish. Makes 4-6 servings.
