Recipe for a peace dinner

So if you are trying to think about what you can do for the first P-Day on August 11th I have a suggestion. Have friends over for a dinner and discuss issues of peace and pacifism. Or, even better, have people over who need help, those without food to eat, those who are suffering a loss or particular hardship. It is important though that you do not hold a peace meal with the explicit intention of converting/changing peoples minds. Remember, when you do something for someone with the intention of gaining something from them you are insincere. So, you are probably thinking, what could I serve these people. Well here is one good recipe that is also nicely inexpensive.

Gazpacho (cold soup originating in Russia):
Ingrediants:
2 English Cucumbers
1 Red onion
2 Bell Peppers (any color)
Chives
1 clove Garlic
2 Tomatoes (diced and seeds removed)
4 cups tomato juice
Salt to taste
Hot sauce (optional)
2 JalapeƱo peppers (optional)

Cut all vegetables into chunks and place in large sealable bowl. Add garlic, salt, and tomato juice. Let sit in fridge overnight (or until chilled through) to allow flavors to meld. Serve with bread and deli meat (I'd suggest proscuito).

There you have it. Cheap, delicious, and easy to make.
