ROCK-HARD COX

It's that time of year again!

I wish to thank our gracious mod for the tag, which, like the apples, exists to make me happy.

Why did no-one tell me about the purple basil?

This Sunday's haul:

12 pint baskets strawberries (approximately).
Large container blueberries.
3 baskets raspberries.
2 bundles of green onions.
1 bundle green basil.
1 bundle purple basil, choir of angels optional.
Not quite enough tiny sweet tomatoes.
Marinated fresh mozzarella in oil with herbs.

I mixed the mozzarella, tomatoes, and basil with the balsamic vinegar and a bit of smoked salt and some shreds of sausage, and OMG OMG OMG OMG. Burping can be an unpleasant reminder that no matter how good the meal was, the digestive process is best left out of sight once started, but apparently sweet-tomato-and-purple-basil is the exception. I think I want a sweet-tomato-and-purple-basil *perfume*.
