Thanks to Mike Duffy for this superb salad dressing recipe!

1 cup mayonaise
1/4 cup chili sauce
2 Tbsp. water
1/2 cup olive oil
1 Tbsp. Worchestershire
1 grated onion
1/2 cup catsup

Put in a quart jar & shake well.

Mike's dressing included: 1 extra clove garlic, 1 1/2 tsp. pepper rather than 1 teaspoon
Dijon mustard and Wesson Oil instead of olive oil.

(*Mike, Hope you are still using this recipe!)



Summer picnic with Barry, Rebecca, Kathy and Mike. Sitting in the background is my mother, Lois. This picture was taken (probably in 1996) on the lower patio. Mama passed away last August. Kathy died, too, a few years after this picture was taken.Barry is married now to his own Kathy and Mike was in California the last time we talked. Rebecca, a Master Gardener, now of Strategic Planting has a beautiful landscaped yard and garden at her family home in Wyoming, Ohio which she created and did all the hard work of installing and continues to add to and maintain. (Those striped lounge chairs are "long gone", too.)

Magic Bullet Gazpacho

The Magic Bullet works well for mixing up a quick batch of Gazpacho soup. Into the bullet cup I put (cut up)3 tomatoes (peeled them), added a couple of cut-up radishes (instead of onion bits) and celery and 1/2 of a green pepper (cut up in bits), then I added some a couple of tablespoons) Vinagrette dressing that I had purchased at Madeira Farmer's Market. Next time I'll add some cucumber bits. I turned on the Magic Bullet and WOW! This is a delicious, quick version of Gazpacho - now chilling in the fridge. Makes at least two generous servings.

*Note: I think the Magic Bullet is an incredible counter-top appliance!
