I made this for the first time today. It was SO GOOD. I am going to smell like garlic for the rest of my life. Used my ex's recipe. I had this every day on my last trip to Spain (my favourite one I had was in San Sebastian). Tastes better with Spanish tomatoes not UK ones but the pomodorino ones I used today were pretty good. I think his recipe of blending it is not typical but I love it. Isn't it beautiful the things we take from relationships. I'm not sure if he'd agree lol.

It’s not flashy really but I feel like Italian doesn’t have to be. Here’s the recipe I learned in Tuscany (featuring the big secret):
For the bruschetta:
- find two beautiful, firm roma tomatoes and dice them into small squares
- chop up some basil
- combine in a bowl with salt and pepper and a few hearty glugs of extra virgin olive oil (adjust this to your personal taste)
For the bread:
- find some nice French baguette and slice into rounds
- place on baking sheet and broil until golden (normally should only take a couple minutes per side)
- the SECRET: once your bread is toasty take it out and rub a peeled garlic clove over every slice; this shit is sooooo good
- finish by lightly drizzling olive oil onto the slices and adding a pinch of salt

As a self-proclaimed Bruschetta enthusiast I’d have to say this was up there.
Just the right amount of garlic was slightly let down by the overkill of olive oil, but the rainbow of tomatoes really sold it for me. Nice plating and even better company.
Red, yellow, green. A true traffic light of tomatoes.

🗓
1. Don't set an alarm and wake up naturally. Snooze for however long you want to, it's okay
2. Have breakfast. For me it's toast. Have it with butter/jam/honey and a lot of water and coffee and juice.
3. Listen to an album in full and do some puzzles until it ends. I like to stick a record on and do the nyt games (connections, then wordle, then the mini, then I'm ready for a crossword)
4. Shower and use all your best stuff. Smell great. Make your hair feel soft.
5. Wear an outfit you don't get to wear that often. I tend to wear the same thing over and over at work so I wear something a bit more fun and less practical.
6. Go outside. I live near a road with secondhand shops that are great browsing but quite tempting on a budget. To beat the temptation just look in the windows and then walk round the streets or to a green space if it's a nice day. Walk as fast or as slow as you like. Try and spot cats that might let you stroke them. See how each place you go smells different. Walk down streets that you've not been down before just because.
7. Come home and decide how much energy you have. If you have energy do an activity (I would write, play an instrument, do some art, read, play a game) if you don't then watch something from your watchlist. Saturdays feel like a good day to watch something new.
8. Cook yourself a meal. Start before you're hungry and spend ages on it. Use every pot. Listen to music. Sing whilst you wash the dishes.
9. Play! Video games, board games, internet games, card games, phone games, rearrange your plushies, embrace your inner child. Play with ideas, experiment with felt tip pens, write a limerick. Get silly with it.
10. Talk to your friends. Invite them over, call somebody up, text that person back you didn't have time to. I like to spend a good day off by myself then have a great time talking to people after I've recharged.
11. Have so much fun getting to do whatever you want you fall asleep at whatever time. Monday - Friday is about appeasing your body clock, Saturdays are for filthy pleasures like falling asleep at 3am because you were too busy flirting or reading or watching videos.
