Gazpacho                                                                   Time: 5 minutes

Remove gazpacho from fridge and serve - sip while making dinner or sit on the terrace with a glass of wine....

Turkey with Ginger Barbecue Sauce                           Time: 45 minutes

1 turkey tenderloin 12 oz (350gr)  if you can't get a small tenderloin get a larger one and cut it in half,
                 freeze what you don't use.

Marinade
2 tbs ketchup
2 tbs dry sherry
1 tbs Worcestershire sauce
3 tbs red wine vinegar
2 tbs olive oil

In small bowl mix ingredients for marinade.  Pour half over turkey.  Set aside to marinate for 15 or longer if you like.  Cook turkey on barbecue grill for 25 - 30 minutes or until done (meat thermometer comes in handy...)  When done, remove, slice and serve with Ginger Barbecue Sauce.

Note:   To roast in the oven bake at 375F for 30 - 35 minutes - check after 30 - as usual all times depend on thickness of turkey.

Ginger Barbecue Sauce                                                 Time: 10 minutes

1 cup tomato sauce, 8 oz (240gr)
2 tbs molasses
2 tbs cider vinegar
2 tsp dry mustard
2 tsp ground ginger
1 tbs soy sauce

Heat all ingredients in a small saucepan, whisking to combine.  Bring to a simmer just long enough to combine all ingredients.   This will keep a week.  We'll use it again on Wednesday.

Sweet Corn                                                                    Time: 15 minutes

6 ears sweet corn, go down to the garden and pick - or to your local farm stand
Butter
salt
pepper

Shuck corn, place on steamer rack in large kettle over an inch of water and steam for 8 - 10 minutes or until done.  Take 1 ear, slather with butter, salt and pepper.  Eat.  Repeat twice.  Happy summer!
