It is starting to get toasty again so what better than Italian toast with garden tomatoes and basil, garlic and onion? Dinner consisted in part of crostini that were the essence of summer.

Toast rubbed with garlic and then topped with chopped tomato, onion, basil, and EVOO

Also on the menu was “Best Gazpacho” adapted from the NYT Cooking site. Except for making toast, there was no cooking tonight!
