Hibiscus, my flower for the Summer!

I have enjoyed the summer and can not believe it is about to end. I have gotten into my flowers this year.  I bought 3 hibiscus plants this year.  I have so enjoyed looking at them.  I have heard they come back each year.  I have to put them under the house or in the house.  I am not sure which I will do.  I also just bought rose trees.  These are different than a rose bush.  We extended our patio and we put them around it.  I have to say it looks pretty good.

Enjoy!!  I am making another today because we enjoyed the first one so much.

1 unbaked pie crust (I prefer refrigerated Pillsbury)

8 oz shredded mozzarella cheese

1/4 cup chopped onion

2 T. chopped, fresh basil

2-3 fresh tomatoes, peeled and cut into thin slices

1/2 t. salt

1/4 t. pepper

1/8 cup olive oil

1/3 cup fresh, grated Parmesan cheese

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Using a very sharp knife, peel and slice tomatoes. Lay the tomatoes on top of two layers of paper towels. Sprinkle tomatoes with a dash of salt and place one more layer of paper towels on top of tomatoes. Leave tomatoes to drain while you prep the other ingredients. This will prevent your pie from becoming too watery.  Layer the pie according to the ingredients!!
