Regular readers of this blog know that my favorite season of the year is summer. I attribute my love of summer for having been born in June. Gazing up at a cobalt sky with white fluffy clouds makes me so happy. Even though I am not much of a gardener, seeing other people’s gardens gives me great pleasure. I love flowers and flowering trees and shrubs, especially our hundred year old Southern magnolia. And I love the bounty of the vegetable garden.
Is there not anything more sublime than a homegrown tomato? My favorite dish featuring homegrown tomatoes is caprese sald. Preparation is very simple – just slice a tomato, slice a ball of fresh mozzarella cheese, and alternate overlapping slices on a platter. Take a nice little handful of fresh basil, give it a quick, coarse chop and sprinkle it over the tomato and cheese. Drizzle a slight measure of good balsamic vinegar over the top and add a tiny pinch of coarse salt for seasoning. And there you have – my favorite summer dish! Now, if I could just master frying squash the way my Mama does…..That’s a story for a different day.
Have a great Sunday, and we’ll see you at the Market.
Thanks,
Beverly
