it all started on a cool april day in the tiny umbrian hillside town of Cività di Bagnoregio… we went into a local little restaurant and they grilled some chewy holey bread over the open hearth, rubbed it generously with garlic and then topped it with chopped tomatoes, salt and pepper.and this is exactly what i did last night with the addition of fresh basil and thin slices of a good parmegiano from zingerman’s.

to me, this is heaven in the palm of my hand…
