  1. Thanks so much for the recipe dear Elizabeth – I’m off to marinate my bowl of cherry tomatoes from next door neighbor’s garden – he shares with me! He’s actually coming for supper with his lady tomorrow so I will serve them some along with fresh mozzarella and the pasta dish I’m planning.
    Stay cool – and dry, rain coming this way!
    Hugs – Mary
