Tomato Stack on a Hot Day
June 30, 2013I don’t know about you, but when it’s hot out, I don’t want to do much of anything.
In my neck of the woods, we’ve been in the triple digits for the last few days, and are looking at more of the same through most of next week.
Ugh!
It’s unbearable.
The only thing I’m liking about this weather is that the tomatoes that I’ve been growing in the back yard have finally ripened up.
Two Tomatoes. Two Pounds. Too Good.
On a hot day like this, tomatoes are the perfect food.
Cool.
Juicy.
Substantial… But not too filling.
So, here’s what I made for lunch…
Tomato Mozzarella Stack with Basil and a Balsamic Glaze Drizzle
Just add some Full Sail Lager, and hot ass days like these get hella cool.
Hella.
Stay Rad,
Jeff
