Take classic Eggs Benedict with Hollandaise Sauce and put a summer twist on it. Add thick slices of heirloom tomatoes and swap bacon for the traditional ham to create Eggs Blackstone with “Holidays Sauce”. My girls call it “holidays sauce” but we don’t save it only for special occasions. We’ve been having it a lot lately to celebrate tomato season, which truly is “the most wonderful time of the year”. One bite and you’ll be inventing your own holidays on which to make this.

True… But a good camera really does help a lot. This was a beautiful subject, and I simply didn’t have the equipment (or skill?!) to properly capture it.

Still, I couldn’t resist sharing this beautiful sight with you all…

I just wanted to send out a sincere note of thanks to our guest gardeners. We were gone for no less than 23 straight days this summer, and somehow, our garden survived. We’ve been collecting a variety of items (zucchini, squash, cucumbers, uh, more cucumbers, tomatoes, musk melon… it’s all been good.

Jenn got the award winning picture, today, though. So, without further adieu…
