"As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture, and as I drank their cold liquid from each shell and washed it down with the crisp taste of the wine, I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy, and to make plans."--Ernest Hemingway

Basil-hand full
Bread
Olive oil
Pecorino Romano Cheese
Balsamic Vinegar
Garlic
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
Directions:
Take a large bowl, well not to large. Dice up tomatoes, I prefer smaller pieces to large. add to the bowl when cut up.
Chop up your handful of basil- I get mine from my garden. Add to bowl
Add a wooden spoon of chopped garlic- yep you read right.
2 tables spoons balsamic vinegar
I swirl of olive oil; that is going around the bowl once with you oil bottle.
Salt and pepper to taste

Mix by hand, now you can use a spoon but I feel that bruises the tomatoes and more juice squeezes out.
Cover with Plastic Seal and place in fridge- gonna wait 2 hours.

20 minutes before serving slice your bread, I use French baguette; slice into slices about 2 fingers thick. Now you can put them in the oven and toast or use a toaster.
Once toasted pour small amount of olive oil onto the toasted bread.
lay bread on platter- bring bruschetta out of fridge, stir up and place in several small bowls with serving spoons.
Take your block of cheese and grate enough for everyone and then a bit more cause I like heavy cheese.
Build yourself one to taste; bread, tomato mix, little cheese and enjoy.
