Bruschetta Anyone?

Tonight I went to a wonderful party in Greenwood. Greenwood is a wonderfully wooded section of Chapel Hill that reminds me a great deal of the towns I knew growing up in Westchester County. The party was a wedding shower for a coworker and a number of the women had brought dishes to for the buffet in the dining room.

Spring rolls, little mini biscuits with chicken salad, fresh fruit, sushi -- but by far the most eyecatching was a beautiful platter of bruschetta. Fresh, fresh tomatoes and basil on crostini with fresh whole milk mozzarella. The olive oil was rich and the whole package was a wonderful two bite hors d'oeuvre. I could not resist it - and isn't that what we all want from a really wonderful cocktail party - tasty pieces that we remember long after we've gone home.

Here's to Summer -- 92 in Chapel Hill today!
