National Gazpacho Day While you're frying up some eggs and bacon, we're cooking up something else: a way to celebrate today's food holiday.Baby, it's cold outside - December 6 is National Gazpacho Day!
You may have Jack Frost nipping at your nose and a chilly chin (for those mourning the end of Movember), but a cold serving of gazpacho is just the right way to fire up your taste buds!
If you're not entirely versed on this Spanish favorite, gazpacho is indeed a cold soup made with a tomato base and other raw veggies, like cucumbers, bell peppers, onion and garlic. The veggies are chopped and pounded with a mortar before adding soaked, stale bread cubes, olive oil, wine vinegar and salt. http://eatocracy.cnn.com/2011/12/06/breakfast-buffet-national-gazpacho-day/

St. Nicholas Day. When I was a kid we would leave our shoes out & in the morning we usually found ourselves to have been gifted by an orange & a nickel.
