Microwave Oven Day! Yep a holiday for that little zapper!

Gazpacho is a tomato-based soup that usually includes cukes, peppers, onions, garlic and various flavorings, and it’s always served cold.
Okay, it’s cold weather now, but one of the ingredients is often hot sauce so add a drop or two extra and you’ll get your heat on in no time!
Plus, there’s none of that standing over a stove or hovering over an oven!
