Greek Style Tomato Salad

Here is a wonderful recipe that is made in 

our home summer after summer.  I love how home grown tomatoes taste and this salad makes them taste even better!

6 medium size tomatoes, sliced

1/4 lb feta cheese, crumbled

1 medium size red onion, thinly sliced

1/3 cup red wine vinegar

2 TBS parsley

3  1/s oz. can pitted ripe olives, drained and sliced

4 tsp sugar

1 TBS chopped fresh basil

1/4 tsp salt

1/4 tsp pepper

1/2 cup olive oil

Make about 2 1/2 hours before serving or early in the day.  Mix the vinegar, parsley, sugar, basil, salt, pepper and olive oil and set aside.  Make sure the sugar is dissolved.  Layer tomatoes, feta, red onion and olives until all are used and then pour wet ingredients over the top and gently toss together, ensuring not to tear up the tomatoes.  Cover and chill for about 2 hours.  Serve cold and enjoy!

Wow! It is hot out here today!

I can't believe it.  It is 92 degrees out here today.  It is warm but with the ceiling fans going it isn't too bad.  I hope I don't have to turn on the a/c later on today.  I probably will need to when I start dinner because I don't want to heat the house up anymore than it might be already.  We haven't had any rain for a bit so I have to ensure that I don't forget to water the outdoor plants.  My jalapenos and peppers are coming up wonderfully and the cherry tomatoes are coming out but haven't turned the cherry color yet.  GRRR.  They probably will in the next few days as it is supposed to rain a sprinkle or two tomorrow.  It will be nice for God to water a bit for a change.  I hope the weather isn't too warm where you are, and if it is, I hope you have a way to have some circulated air or cooler air.  Heat stroke is a serious thing.  Don't take it lightly.
