Cold and rainy day; decided to work at home instead. Well, no -- that decision wasn't made for me. I went to work, only to find that no one else did. So went to Border's instead. Order vanilla latte, scone, and a dose of warmth.

At night, I didn't feel very 'dinner entree' so made appetizers instead. With beer. Hell yeah
Bruschetta on french bread (probably 4-5 servings, but I ate it all and I'm a garbage disposer at heart)
- 2 gloves of minced garlic
- 1.5 tbsp minced shallot
- 2 roma tomatoes, diced
- 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- fresh basil, chopped
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp salt + 1 tsp pepper
- slices of 3/4 inch cut french loaf (or italian bread is fine)
- Parmesan and/or mozzarella cheese, grated.
>>Preheat broiler
>>Mixed garlic, shallot, tomatoes, basil, olive oil, vinegar, oregano, S&P in a large bowl. Chilled for 10 minutes.
>>brush some EVOO onto sliced bread; put in broiler for 1-2 mins until golden
>>Take out bread; add equal amount of tomato mixture on each. Top with cheese of your choice.
>> Put in broiler for 5 mins. Serve immediately.
Bon appetite!
That bruschetta looks ah-may-zing. As does the outfit. :D
ReplyDeleteThat outfit makes you look like you're going to go for a horseback ride in the English countryside with Mr. Darcy.
