take that winter!

I came home for my/Joaquin's lunch/nurse break and my boss called me at home and told me to stay put. This winter storm we are having has brought business to a standstill and they couldn't see the point in me driving back for what might only be another hour before they throw in the towel for the day. Don't say anything, but I was secretly hoping that would happen.
I was dreaming of pad thai and since we just went to Saraga (the best grocery store in Indy), I have all the fixins. While soaking the rice noodles, my husband decided to whip up some raw soup for his raw diet. We have a bunch of tomatoes (from Saraga) to use up

and some jalapenos

That's a big ol' bag of hot peppers. He mixed up a big batch of spicy goodness in the food processor and instead of pad thai, we had some seriously spicy gazpacho!

"Winter Knockout Warm-Up Soup"
12 tomatoes
5 tomatillos
5 jalapeno peppers, seed included
1 whole head garlic, peeled
One small onion, cut in chunks
Half a bunch of cilantro
Himalayan sea salt
garnish with avocado (I put a whole one on my bowl!)

Put all ingredients in the food processor and process untill not quite smooth.
This makes a very, very spicy soup. We love it that way, but if you can't stand the heat, add less jalapeno!

Pad thai tomorrow!
Thanks so much Awesome Husband!
