Buttermilk Syrup (the kind you get at Magelby's Fresh)

I am posting this recipe on my blog so that I don't lose it, plus I think more people need to know about this syrup. It is a trillion times better than any pancake/waffle syrup you have ever tried. I first had this syrup at Magelby's Fresh in Provo, Ut. It is a tradition for us to go there for there all-you-can-eat french toast in the morning for $4.95. Incredibly yummy! With their french toast they serve this buttermilk syrup that is fantastic. You must try it and let me know what you think!

Buttermilk Syrup

1 1/2 cups white sugar
1 tsp. light corn syrup
3/4 cup buttermilk
Cook these ingredients in a saucepan until boiling, then add:
1 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. vanilla

Gazpacho- An old family favorite

The following recipe for Gazpacho has been used by my family for the last 30 years. It is my favorite soup in the summer because you serve it chilled. You can warm it up if you are one of those people who cannot eat soup cold.

4 Cups Clamato juice (do not be tempted to use a different juice it will not taste nearly as good)
1 medium sweet onion, minced
1/3 C olive oil
1/3 C apple cider vinegar
1/4 yellow or green pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced
8 tomatoes, chopped
2 cucumbers with seeds removed and chopped
3 medium Hass avocadoes, cubed
Garlic Croutons
Grated Parmesan Cheese
Salt and Pepper to taste

Combine the first 8 ingredients and refrigerate overnight. Add the avocadoes before serving. Serve very cold with croutons and parmesan cheese. Serves 8.

note: I can never wait overnight, but it does get better after it sits a bit.
