So I got out of the city for a couple of days. It was nice, the boy and I puppysitted for my Mum in the suburbs but the air conditioning spoiled us I think. We could hardly leave the house except for the odd bike ride to the liquor store or a smoke out on the patio.
Now that I'm back in our stuffy little apartment, I have assumed my position on the bed, over the sheets like a starfish lapping up the breeze that comes from a very tired but very devoted ceiling fan.
Before I left I made a bit of lunch and it was very tasty so I took some pictures.
It's very similar to what I made the other day for breakfast but I used only basil as apposed to dill and parsley. Instead of an egg I topped the toast with some ricotta. Drizzled the whole mess with some gorgeous olive oil straight from Greece (given as a gift from a friend), and wha pam! LUNCH. It was perfect because I was so tired and hot and lethargic I didn't think I wanted to eat at all. I knew instinctively not to trust such a ridiculous notion and so I made this beauty. It was very refreshing. Use up the tomatoes while they last people!
As a side note. I went to "Metro" the other day in the suburbs and they didn't carry any of the Ontario field tomatoes, or corn, or peaches or blueberries. Nothing! No local produce. That's pathetic! So I suggest Loblaws at the moment... I'm on a bit of a hunt for a decent grocery store. I predict that I will eventually conclude that we should all shop local and drag our arses to St. Lawrence rain or shine but since I have a Loblaws down the street and I am quite addicted to their instance Mac and Cheese ( the white cheddar one) I will remain relatively loyal... for now.
If anyone is listening and can recommend some good fruit and veg, farmers markets, let me know! I live in the East and I travel by bicycle (good ol' Gerdy) so don't send me to Niagara or anything.
Bye for now.
