Farmhouse Lunch

There's usually one person on a farm crew who's responsible for making lunch, which is improvised from fresh seasonal ingredients -- whatever is available and appealing. Sometimes improvisation produces the most pleasing results, especially when you're hungry. Lunch today, during a break from spring cleaning and gardening, consisted of fresh sliced beets, buffalo mozzarella rounds, fluffy poached eggs, chopped basil, large capers and good extra virgin olive oil.
