One of the neighbor women just came to our door with a huge bowl
full of tomatoes from their garden. She says she has too many tomatoes. I don't see how that's possible. And I have New York Times bread almost ready to go into the oven, so suddenly, I've lost interest in my planned dinner. Fresh bread, olive oil, tomatoes, salt. That about does it, huh?

Slices of fresh bread I baked in the morning, a smear of mayonaise and a layer each of sun-warm tomato slices, sweet onion, sharp cheddar and fresh basil leaves plucked from my herb garden. Just a little salt and pepper and some bread & butter pickle slices and I'm good. MJB |

Well if you have leftovers, you could make panzanella. I had THE MOST DELICIOUS panzanella at an Italian restaurant in North Beach (San Francisco) yesterday. The melanzane appetizer was pretty good too, the pasta dishes were ok (mine suffered from an overabundance of salt), but the panzanella was out of this world. The restaurant is called Caffe Macaroni Sciue Sciue (sorry, can't do the accent marks) on Columbus. It's Neapolitan. I would go back for the panzanella alone, at least at this time of year! TammyM |

Ok, so we both cheat! <g> One of these days I'd like to try making a shrimp ravioli.

I am wondering about the beets in this pictu http://pics.livejournal.com/serenejo...ic/0002tfea/g5 Usually I roast mine whole and then slice. But the other day I cut them into chunks and slathered them in olive oil, hoping to achieve a look similar to yours. However, mine were a bit burnt on the outside and not quite done on the inside. (Too high temp, I'm sure - can't recall what it was, but I think it might have been 400-425 abouts.) Can you give me advise what your temperature was and how you accomplished this 'good looking beet.' I really like the looks of the way you prepared the falafel patty. I'd make this more if I had your recipe. I'm a bit tired of the fried in oil in balls. Thanks. Dee Dee |

Other pics, ok: http://i14.tinypic.com/4ti5f7q.jpg Other than peeling those grape tomatoes to add "chunkiness" to the sauce, the rest was pre-packaged and just had to be combined and heated. The raviolis had to have some time to cook. I just put it all together in a covered skillet for that finale'. http://i14.tinypic.com/538o7zd.jpg That particular pasta sauce is to die for.
