Heirloom tomatoes. Late Harvest Apple Cider Vinegar. French fleur de sel. Basil. YUM!Fortunately, we had extra tomatoes, plenty of vinegar, and 1/2 log of
mozarella left. Because we had to make a whole extra tray for the

Mostly.The potatoes are fresh red bliss potatoes, microwaved then grilled.
Cube then toss in olive oil and salt. Then grill to perfection. (put
them in a grill pan or skewer them!) The onions are cippolini, we
love these - blanch, remove outside skin, sautee then pop in the oven
until caramelized. Olive oil, thyme, balsamic vinegar.

were sublime), then on to albacore tuna (the only fish we marinated -
in lime, garlic, ginger, salt, and black sesame oil). The salt
