The speaker for Thursday evenings OC SmugMug Meeting was Tofurious. Before he started his presentation, we were able to look at a copy of the Grace Ormond book, “being in love never goes out of style“. It’s a large, 416 page, 10+ pound book of gorgeous wedding photographs. As the book was so large, we were quickly looking through it as fast as the pages would turn. One picture that caught my eye was a tomato, mozzarella and fresh basil salad. I bought the ingredients to recreate the salad, and here is my version. When Bob and I have eaten at nice Italian restaurants, the balsamic vinegar is always thick, unlike the water substance on the grocery store shelves. So, I put some in a pan and simmered it to keep the flavor, but thicken the sauce…the result was sweet flavor like the high end restaurants. Now I just need to learn how the teardrop drizzles are put on the plate!
Speaking of Grace Ormond, we were told that the following picture from our January wedding has been submitted for a cover competition for her wedding magazine. So, if it wins and you see the picture on the cover, then you’ll know who it is!
