Bruschetta


Name: Bruschetta pronounced as broo-skut-haa
Making time: 5-6 minutes
Serves: 2

I made this delicious looking meal last night. Actually, I found out a while ago, it was called Bruschetta. Before that, I called it simply, salad. Yeah, naive.

I saw the last French bread pack in the supermarket and flew to grab it. I wondered later what to do with it. Well, I did not have olive oil or mayonnaise. So, I made do with good ole butter. I used it sparingly though.

First, I put a lil bit of butter on the pan and roasted the bread slices well, on both sides. Then I chopped the tomatoes, raw, big, and red ones, coarsely. I added some oregano on top for that tangy flavour. Bingo, dinner was ready.

Easy to make and real quick. Man, it tastes awesome too. :)

My 1st post

I watched this movie, Julie and Julia. The movie is a screen adaptation of Julie Powell's book on the popular French cook, Julia Child.

Well, to say the least, I got so impressed with the movie and Julie that I decided to start a food blog of my own. Now I am not a gourmet cook. Far from it, my measure of salt always falters. Always. Some days it will be more, some days it will be less. In any case, my MIL used to say, whoever learns the art of adding salt to food is a good cook.

Well, that makes me a bad one. Sigh!

I shall share my experiments with food, here in this space.
