The spring/summer project and labor of love has been our little garden. Now is the time of the season where pride kicks into full gear because we are actually getting tomatoes, peppers and basil! (see photo)
But we had to do something with the fruits of our labor (duh!), and lucky for us, tomato + peppers + basil + extra virgin olive oil = tomato salad. Very delicious tomato salad. (see photo)
It feels unbelievably good (to taste buds and heart) to eat a fantastic dish with nothing but our own ingredients mixed with a bit of olive oil. Especially right after a meal that consisted of carrots and potatoes from the farmer’s market and zucchini from my future grandfather-in-law’s garden.
I love this time of year… eating amazing fresh food everyday with an amazing partner by my side.
very delicious tomato salad… with crusty bread to mop up the liquid gold that is tomato juice mingling with extra virgin olive oil… mmmmmmmmm
