the other day at trader joe's i saw these beautiful heirloom tomatoes.
i'm not exactly a tomato person,
but i am a tomato with basil and garlic person.
plus they were so pretty, i just really, really wanted them.
i thought about that scene from julie and julia
where julie makes beautiful bruschetta.
do you remember that scene?
oh my, does that bruschetta look soooooo scrumptious!
and i decided that's what i'd do with these tomatoes.
i cut up the tomatoes, basil and garlic.
added a little olive oil.
fried the crusty bread in butter.
and voila!
i love these salad sheers from pampered chef.
(i do not sell pampered chef. i just really, truly love them!)
it took seconds to cut up the basil.
this was a large tomato
and not exactly beautiful on the outside
and i actually thought about just throwing it away
(can you believe it!)
but then i thought, what the heck, why not use it.
and look what i found inside!
what a nice surprise!
isn't that beautiful?
