Another break...for a late lunch.
This is our favourite summertime food...juicy vine tomatoes, buffalo mozzarella, olives, all drizzled with good olive oil, some torn leaves of basil from the plant on the windowsill and some crusty bread. Didn't make the bread...but it was really malty and crusty...just right for dipping in the tomato juice and oil.
We're fortunate to have some extra virgin olive oil direct from the Veneto. A local market town is twinned with a town in Italy and my sister is part of the twinning committee...so she gets to visit on a regular basis and was given the oil...which she shared with us. She's good like that.

I read recently that everyone's home grown tomatoes have been disappointing due to the weather a few months back.
