Freshly Made Bruschetta From The Garden of The Man

IMG_20130815_192740_600A passion of The Man, in addition to The Lady, is container gardening and a passion of The Lady, in addition to The Man, is preparing food using the bounty from his garden. Everybody wins. The tomatoes are coming in, the bell peppers are in abundance and the herbs are overflowing their pots; the perfect combination to make bruschetta.

The Lady’s cheese friend, Rachel, recently gave her a bottle of O Olive Oil with crushed basil. This olive oil is not infused with basil. In making this oil, O crushed the fresh olives and the fresh basil together creating an amazingly fragrant aroma and taste. The oil is extra virgin and is cold pressed. Made in the Sierras with non-sprayed olives, no pesticides, just basil and oil.
