A brush with bruschetta
An easy meal around here is some form of bruschetta. The easiest version is to cut up some artisan-style bread into bite-sized pieces, gently toast them in a hot oven and top with a garlic-infused butter, some form of tomato or tomato based sauce, a thin slice of mozzarella and a fresh bit of basil. I have a thriving basil plant in a warm spot in the house over the winter just to have the fresh herb available for this. You could also make up a bowl of the topping ingredients lightly tossed together and scoop out a bit at a time for self-serve cracker toppings.

Hispanic presence in tree fruit industry reflected at annual meeting
KENNEWICK — As the presence of Hispanic workers, managers and growers has increased in Washington’s tree fruit industry, so have efforts to provide training and support. The Spanish-language sessions at the Washington Horticultural Association annual meeting earlier this week reflect that. Jacqui Gordon-Nuñez, director of training, education and member services for the Washington State Tree Fruit Association, said the Spanish-language sessions have grown a lot since the first class in 2011. “They began with a tiny room of 50 people with a couple of talks, and now it’s the biggest session in the hort convention,” Gordon-Nuñez said. “It’s evidence of how much the Hispanic community wants to get educated, and wants to get the trending information of the industry.”
