Fine Art Daily, Bruschetta

It's Food Friday!

This is one of our reliable crowd pleasers, the recipe for which we no longer have to scour through the cookbooks - Bruschetta. We have to step out tonight and thought this would be a tasty little contribution to the mix. Camilla is desperate to get out and socialize. (She still hasn't gotten over Kat...e's pony tail in public yesterday.) And Champagne Charlie is always ready for a party!

This is very tricky-woo - so pay attention.

Cut a day old baguette into slices
Toast the slices under the broiler
Allow slices to cool
Rub each slice with a chunk o'garlic
Drizzle each slice with olive oil(watch out for Charles here, he is known for his excesses)
Put a couple of basil leaves on the toasted, oiled bread
Chop up a couple of nice fat tomatoes, removing the seeds
Spread tomatoes over the basil
Top with crumbled feta cheese
Pop the breads back under the broiler until the cheese sizzles
Voilà!

“England and the English as a rule they will refuse even to sample a foreign dish, they regard such things as garlic and olive oil with disgust, life is unlivable to them unless they have tea and puddings”
-George Orwell

Stop by the Court House Cultural Center tonight for the Guy Coheleach/Carl Hantman Artists’ Reception. For more info, go to www.martinarts.org.
