I was recently divorced and My EX-WIFE who couldn't boil an egg, keep my recipe book collections?!


Question: When I got my divorce my ex-wife who like I said couldn't boil an egg, keep all my recipe books. (Along with most of my cooking supplies) If I know her she probably tossed them or burned them, all out of spite...

I had three subscriptions to three different recipe books of the month. I don't know which one it was in, but one of them had this recipe for Gazpacho Pasta Salad. It was made with either Tomato or V8 juice and lime juice and a little Olive oil and the bow tie pasta.

I am wondering if anyone notices the name of that recipe and or those odd ingredients for pasta salad can email it to me.

I miss that and I just got a real craving for it...

Its worth 10 points to the first person that can send it to me. There is one other weird ingredient in it so I will know if you have the right one if that ingredient is in it.
