It was dinner ... it was good

A late lunch ... but a fresh one!

Bow-tie pasta, fresh cherry tomatoes/garlic chives/basil from the garden
Good olive oil, tangy red wine vinegar, toasted seasoned bread crumbs

Summer Favorites ...

I'm addicted to crispy fried chicken legs,
new potatoes w/lemon zest & juice, olive oil, green onion
Warm or room temp. with fresh tomatoes!

Fresh sweet cherry tomatoes seasoned just like a salad and
mixed with hot fini linquine. Another dish hot or room
temp.! and this with the addition of toasted seasoned
bread crumbs which makes this a little less runny and
a little nutty in flavor.
This is also quite good with cherry tomatoes halved and
sauteed in olive oil...herbs, garlic of course.
No cheese necessary!

Gazpacho ...

How pretty this is and the tomatoes have not been chopped yet

A combination of Laura Calder's totally pureed cold tomato soup which also
included a little bit of bread crumbs and freshly made buttered croutons
and
a gazpacho recipe that appealed to me with some bits to chew.
This along with a bit of cold chicken was a very pleasant dinner and will provide
an anticipated lunch for tomorrow.
