Dinner Is Now Being Served in the Main Dining Room

Now that the tomatoes are coming in, we make them the star of our meals...They are here for only a short time so we must make the most of them. Yesterday I made stacks of different tomato slices, layered with fresh mozzarella cheese and basil from the garden. I sprinkled layers with kosher salt, olive oil and sweet balsamic vinegar. Topped the whole thing with a sprinkling of Maldon Sea Salt for extra salty flavor and eye appeal as well as a generous portion of chiffonades of basil for one last punch of flavor. Makes my mouth water while writing this! We shared a large roll to sop up the vinegar, oil and tomato that settled in the plate after devouring this multi colored Caprese Salad...


This is a summer salad I could eat three times a day, seven days a week!!!!!

Tomatoes in our area were hit with a blight that made them die. So we bought tomatoes from BACKYARD BEAUTIES grown in Madison ,ME in a hugh greenhouse.
Maybe better luck next year. Alice
