In light of having a few weeks before I start my job as a Suit, I’ve had a lot of time of my hands. To my surprise, I’ve been quite busy. Our engagement certainly created quite the commotion in my life, what with all the time spent talking with friends, wondering how I’ll plan a wedding and, well, staring at my hand. One thing I’ve discovered is that if I thought I couldn’t be a full-time Apron before, these last few weeks have confirmed that truth. I turn it into a job – complete with detailed to-do lists – and manage to stress myself out over the most mundane tasks. To say the least, I’m looking forward to stressing over more intellectually-challenging responsibilities.

Summer ending means that tomatoes are almost out of season. To take advantage of these last few weeks, I made one of my favorite appetizers, bruschetta. Bruschetta is great for serving at parties, but also great as a simple appetizer on a weeknight or as a topping to flavor up a boring fish or chicken dinner.
