Well, it's August & finally starting to get summer hot here.
& I am tired & sweaty & hot & just over it all.
About the only thing coming out of the garden & edible are the little heirloom tomatoes-
Isis Pear, marble sized mini-belle, some kind of cherry & grape.
What I don't understand is the lovely variety of color we are getting- yellow & red, orange & pink.
The tomato bed is more of a serious jungle right now, so I can't really see what is going on.
Last fall we got some really pretty mixed, small, heirloom tomatoes from our co-op, pears & grapes &cherries, in all colors. Some of them were squishy, so I tossed them into the bed.....
& it seems some of them took, maybe?
I dunno.
Tonight, I was choring at an odd time, and got a late start on dinner.
Husband woke up like bear after hibernation, so the plan was out the window, & quick was in.
& this deliciousness was born......
Ingredients:
Sliced & diced tomatoes- enough to feed whoever is eating
Basil- preferably shared by your awesome neighbor who can grow stuff, to your taste & shredded
Mozzarella Cheese- shredded, about 1 cup or a little less
Balsamic Vinegar- 5 or 6 sloshes?
Olive Oil- a good drizzle
Pepper & Garlic (fresh grated or dried) to your taste
Pasta- whatever you have, that you like & will feed those eating. cooked according to the package.
Add to large bowl in the order listed, or not. Serve immediately or chill for later. It's really yummy either way!
Quick, cheap & easy.... even Husband gave it a mildly enthusiastic thumb & 1/2 up.
