Fresh Tomato Bruschette
Oh, the abosolute wonder of a beautiful, early Saturday, August morning planning delicious and fresh dishes from the bounty foraged at the weekly Farmer's Market. You have to get there early before the rest of the foodies converge and reduce the selections to slim pickins. For this Buscehette, seek out juicy, vine-ripened tomatoes and leafy, fragrant basil. Paired with crisp bagette toasts and a bottle of Cabernet, it will be a perfect Saturday evening on the patio with friends.
