Thx for posting that! This is wonderful to make in the summer, when I can get local tomatoes..'cos God knows I'm all about the tomatoes and EVOO-based dishes! :D

Hello my name is Holly and i am a tomato addict!!
i can vouch for the fabulousness of the bruchetta...


It rockes my socks off.. :)

[Bonnie Strangeways]

Mmmm, looks great!

Another one, even more simple.....


Tomatoes - sliced, not diced
Fresh Mozzerella - sliced
Fresh Basil leaves - whole

Stack on each other in this order:

Basil (on top)
Mozzerella
Tomatoe (on bottom)


Drizzle liberally with EVOO, consume.

Wha's dat Bux?

[Buxom Wench]

Wha's dat Bux?
Grey salt is a less bitter tasting salt, from the sea and Fleur De Sal actually tastes like the sea from where it comes. VERY TASTY and I'm not a big salt eater.
