Caprese Salad inspired by a BLT: heirloom tomatoes, fresh cow’s milk mozerella, fresh basil and oregono from our garden and chopped bacon drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with sea salt and fresh cracked black pepper. Man, it was so good. Megan ate 3 bites and said it was actually good. I’ll call that a win.
And, what’s good food without a good drink? The drink in the background is a Gordon’s Cup: gin, cucumber, lime & simple syrup. Amazingly refreshing and quite a nice acompaniment.
