Sigh. I love this recipe and I love these photos but looking at them makes me a little bit sad. You see, these were the last photos taken before that fateful weekend when my camera got caught in a torrential downpour. I loved that camera. My husband knew I wanted to learn how to shoot in manual mode so he searched and researched an bought me the SONY alpha 37 for Christmas a couple years ago. It was my baby and it was special because it reminded me of the gift-giver. I bought a Canon as a replacement but I just couldn’t get into it. It didn’t feel right to me. I needed a SONY. So I returned it and ended up with this beaut: the SONY alpha 6000! With a name like that I feel like I should have bought it off an infomercial. Can’t you just hear the infomercial guy shouting SONY alpha 6000 in his infomercial voice?
But I digress. I’m pumped about the new camera and I’m pumped about this recipe! Both my tomatoes and my basil have been growing like weeds so this toast has definitely been had a bunch recently in our house. The best part? It’s…
Super quick
Super easy… and
Super delicious
Doesn’t get any better than that!
p.s. Any bread will do but I highly recommend the Sourdough Seed Bread for both nutrition and taste!
