Watermelon Gazpacho
One weekend, some friends invited me to their garden to show me what they had grown. Among other wonderful vegetables, I saw a big, beautiful watermelon. Honestly, I felt a little embarrassed to ask for it, but I told them what I wanted to make (watermelon gazpacho), and in the end, they agreed—as long as we enjoyed it together. So, I ended up at home with a watermelon that weighed over 13 pounds (6 kg). The problem was, as I was going up the stairs, the watermelon slipped from my hands and fell, breaking open—thanks to a neighbor who was coming down to walk her dog. At that moment, I thought my plan to make gazpacho was ruined, but I managed to save more than three-quarters of it. In the end, I made a great gazpacho and enjoyed it with my friends who gave me the watermelon, but... they still laugh about what happened, and not just them—my neighbor does too. At least the dog couldn't do the same thing!
