The Taste of Summer
Today, while at a meeting, a lady stopped by with her fresh out-of-the garden tomatoes and I just had to buy some. All I need to hear is fresh from the garden and I'm on it faster than flies on honey. That evening we toasted some white bread {yes, the non-healthy kind – thank you Amanda for giving me a taste of that the other day and now my whole grain just doesn't taste the same}. Anyway, we toasted some white bread, added a little dill-flavored mayo, fresh cooked bacon, sautéed arugula from our garden, and topped it with the delicious tomato with salt and pepper – it was a taste of summer. Fresh and refreshing like a pillow that dried in the sun after a good washing. Let me tell you I don't even like plain tomatoes, but I've been converted with this sandwich. Yum. More tomato sandwiches coming up in our near future.
A Pretty Pom-Pom
Maybe it's from my {brief} cheerleader days, but I just love a good pom-pom, especially the paper ones for a cost-effective decoration. Today, we went a little pom-pom crazy as we are gearing up for 4th of July. Don't ask – we had pink tissue paper so we decided to make a few for a little Saturday party as well. Pom Poms everywhere in the house. Caroline was in H-E-A-V-E-N.
