as in for me… can you imagine that i will be attending another wedding this weekend? oh boy…
so, this week’s edition is about {food} & we will have a visit from another italian lady. i often go around groups in order to seek for beautiful & interesting… & creative images, and this lady’s images caught my attention right away. her stream is all about food and arranging settings to present the several elements in the correct order.
so, before you get all curious, let us head for our recipe!

wash and dry tomatoes and basil leaves. cut tomatoes in half, remove the inner part and cut into small pieces. cut basil elaves into small pieces and caciocavallo cheese into sticks. put tomatoes and basil in a bowl, add salt and olive oil to taste and stir.
