Based on Boston Globe 6-27-2004
Serves 8
- 1 c basil leaves
- 3 roasted yellow and red bell peppers, peeled and cut into quarters
- olive oil for sprinkling
- 1/4 c balsamic vinegar
- salt and pepper
Stack the basil and cut across them to make thin strips.
On a platter, arrange the peppers, tucking under the edges. Drizzle lightly with oil and sprinkle with vinegar, salt and black pepper. Sprinkle with the basil. Serve at room temperature.
Serve with thick bread toasted and rubbed with the cut side of a garlic clove sprinkled with coarse salt.
On the Internet, however, there is no check on silly rules, because on the
Internet, increasingly, rules are enforced not by a human but by a machine:
Increasingly, the rules of copyright law, as interpreted by the copyright
owner, get built into the technology that delivers copy-righted content. It is
code, rather than law, that rules. And the problem with code regulations is
that, unlike law, code has no shame.
-- Lawrence Lessig, "Free Culture"
