simplicity

I know that i've been bragging a lot about italian foood and italy in general, but over the past few months, there is one motto i try to keep to which is : THE SIMPLER, THE BETTER.
Life can get so damn complicated sometimes - for all the unnecessary reasons - that is is really worth while wasting time in finding easy solution the hard way and picking up at the same time a whole batch of stomach ulcers ?
So, yes, i say FUCK it all.
Italians are lucky beacause their products are so good, so they don't need tons of spices, additives, taste enhancers, bits & pieces & sauces to make things taste good...
From that, i can only deduce the fact that if a product is good, the dish will be hard to screw up.
Respect the seasons, and the product will taste good.
A tomato needs the sun, like a chicken needs space...
So keep it simple. Let the product do the "work"...

Chop some tomatoes, add some chopped basil and pour in some olive oil.

Crunch some salt and pepper.
Done.
