The Perfect Lunch

The garden produced another plentiful bounty of tomatoes today. Costoluto Genovese, Zucchero, and Martino’s Roma, the first two from seeds purchased in Italy. These will be used in tomorrow’s batch of tomato sauce, but a later foray into the garden produced my lunch. I sliced a Brandywine tomato, still warm from the sun, and placed the slices on top of a crunchy slice of freshly baked bread, added fresh basil and a dollop of hummus, then drizzled it all with olive oil. Perfect!
