A Delicious Combination

 
 

I had planned to post this simple side dish weeks ago when tomatoes were in season. But with school back in full swing, my blog post are few and far between.   This is so easy and delicious even I have time to throw it together.  I simply slice a tomato and crumble Boursin cheese over the slices.  You can add olive oil or vinaigrette, but I tend to keep it simple.  Enjoy.

(Boursin cheese is a little pricier than others, but worth it.)

 
 
 

This makes a great side dish, but I tend to eat it alone as a meal.

Belize


Belize is incredibly beautiful. We visited the Altun Ha Belize Mayan Temple.  The temples date back to 100 AD. It was amazing to stand and look at something so old and majestic. Reaching Altun Ha is not easy though - one hour by river boat followed by another hour on a bus. However, we were able to see so much on the journey including holler monkeys, beautiful foliage and a lot of iguanas.

Crazy People in the South




I love my "crazy" family members; however, I usually refer to them as eccentric.  And I am proud to say I have them on both sides of my family as well.  I have mentioned before that Dixie Carter was my hero.  Her character, Julia Sugarbaker on Designing Women, sums up "Crazy" in the South so well.
