The knock at the door caught me with the spoon still in my mouth, and I felt a chill run down my spine—though I couldn’t quite tell whether that was my nerves or the tart slurp I’d just taken.

“Who is it?” I called, swallowing hard. Just the right texture, I thought: a little chunky, a little creamy. If we could make it to market, we’d make a killing, one bowl at a time. But suddenly that was a big “if.”

“OPEN UP! GAZPACHO POLICE!”

Trying not to panic, I glanced around the place and knew we’d have to act fast. When you’re in this line of work, you always know there’s danger, but it’s easy to think that happens to other guys, the ones who are less careful. And besides, for hardened products of the calle like me, the thrill of illicit Spanish cuisine is too strong to resist.

“The cucumbers!” I hissed at Mac.

He was in the kitchen, absentmindedly dicing an onion for the next batch. It was after 10 a.m., so I knew he’d already had a few glasses of cheap Duero vino tinto. That must be how he missed the banging on the door.

“The cukes, you idiot! Make ’em disappear! The cops are here!”

"I knew our punishment would be swift and harsh: It was hard time in the goulash for me."

Thanks, Nevilledog.

On a serious note, she didn't learn anything from going to the Holocaust Musuem.

But then no one really thought she would.

7. She's a hatelogged sponge. No capacity to learn anything else.

11. Think you're spot on about the capacity.

Less intellectuality than our cats. Not to insult our cats, who were all above average.
