Summertime on a plate

It's officially summer when you get terrific farmers market tomatoes. They are rolling in now. 

These called out for fresh, home-baked white bread and mayo. So I baked a loaf of what we call Mom Bread - the straight ahead white bread that my Mom baked every week when she had kids at home - and then I composed a classic. I mashed half an avocado in there,  too, because this is Southern California after all. Generous with the sea salt.

The tapenade was a Christmas gift that really shines in the warmer months.

The tangerine could have been a peach but the peaches wanted one more day to ripen and that tangerine needed eating. 

All good!
