Basic Staples

Qoute of the Day: " If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world." ~J. R. R. Tolkien (1892 - 1973)

Good Afternoon,

I love my spice rack

So I just realized that I haven't written anything in a week, mainly because I have been really busy unpacking and too tired to write anything by the end of the day...

  But on the good side, there is only the bare minimum of things left to unpack. the house looks nice enough for company...and most importantly, My Kitchen is unpacked...

           Which means getting the basic kitchen staples put together, like Bruschetta..... a basic staple in my kitchen but a good thing to have in the fridge, for a snack or something to throw together if you have surprise company.  or for making quick pizza's, and it takes about 20 minutes to make and last about a month...

Bruschetta Recipe

the start of the Yummyness

Ingredients

• 2 tomatoes, cubed*
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 4 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 clove garlic, crushed
• seasoning salt to taste
• ground black pepper to taste 
• 2 tsp Green onion 
• 1 tsp Parsley

* any Tomato will work, I prefer using Roma tomatoes, they are fleshier and not as juicy.

Cube tomatoes, and mix ingredients in bowl and cover and chill for 8 hours minimum, 
 
That's it, really easy but really tasty.
Place it on pizza, use it in wraps,
or take some thinly sliced baguette slightly toast it, 
add the bruschetta,
some grated cheese and parmesan , 
 Garnish with a little parsley and serve






anyways I am off to hang some curtains, and plan my menu for house warming party.. 


Enjoy your day
James
