Beware the Contessa!

I love the Barefoot Contessa. I adore her chill style, her tricked out Hamptons manse, and her fabulous dinner parties with wonderful food. I recently made her Greek Gazpacho, and I was so excited to be as fab as Ina. In addition to an assortment of veggies, the recipe calls for 6 cloves of garlic and 2 red onions as well as a big block of feta cheese. The result was yummy, but the after effects were long-lasting. To the point where this morning when I woke up, my husband greeted me with, "It smells like gazpacho in here." Even after brushing my teeth and gargling multiple times, and munching on Altoids all day, I still taste the garlic. Ina, you're still fabulous, but unless I'm warding off vampires, I'm gonna have to stick with your desserts.
