Tomato time

Had the first tomato sandwich of the year. Sorry, no pictures. I ate it too fast. I admit I was pushing it a bit as our tomatoes were only just turning ripe. But it was good and really brings home the fact that summer is here. Loaded a kiln while the weather seemed calm. It's a challenge with those pop-up thunderstorms!

Here's a nice luncheon salad for you. Of course, it should be served in a handmade bowl!
1 ripe tomato
several fresh basil leaves
2 tbsp of feta cheese
dash of salt and pepper
drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar

chop up the tomato and basil as fine or as coarse as you like and throw in, dash over and drizzle on the rest of the ingredients. Enjoy!
