Our beautiful green acre......isn't that the name of a show?........is brown.......everything is brown. No rain for weeks now and temp way over a 100 everyday! Why is it that we are in the wonderful air conditioning........but still have NO energy.........is it an excuse? All I really want to do is get in my matching recliner, next to Bob in his.........of course he is sleeping......and just do nothing. Still hungry for cookies, cake and pie..........and of course ice cream. Going to make fresh peach ice cream in the morning.........peaches need one more day.
So I saw Ina Garton make this on tv and looked so good........had to try it. Take a couple containers of cherry or grape tomatoes........slice them in half and place in a big bowl and add about a Tblsp of minced garlic (I hope you make this from fresh garlic and not that bottled stuff) some basil leaves sliced up...a sprinkling of red pepper flakes and salt and sprinkle with a little olive oil. Toss this all tog and cover with plastic wrap and let stand at room temp about 4 hours.......this makes its own delightful juice. When ready to eat.......boil up some angle hair pasta in a little olive oil and lots of salt..........drain and add immediately to the bowl of tomatoes. Add about 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese and more fresh basil leaves sliced and toss and serve. This is really a nice hot day salad. Oh, and shave a little fresh Parmesan on top. I have to fight Bob from adding Hot Links wrapped in bacon........to this..........but I won.
