Thanks be to the farmers and local cheesemakers and bakers, who do all the work so that I can serve up the simplest of wonderful suppers with very little effort. Wednesday afternoon is a farmers' market day in Saratoga Springs, and today brought the first ripe home-grown tomatoes, fresh sweet corn, and perfect slender green beans of the summer season. Add handmade fresh Mozzarella from a local Italian market, a crusty whole-wheat bread from Rock Hill Bakery, sweet basil from the garden, and abundant extra-virgin olive oil, and it's quite a feast! Even without the cold roast chicken and a nice bottle of wine, which we happened to have on hand. Yes indeed, it's summertime, when the feastin' is easy!
Nice meal! You are absolutely right! It's summer and feasting is easy.
