Sometimes, it's too hot to cook. You know you should eat someting, and you're vaguely hungry, but it just seems like too much effort to bother with, when you'd really rather lie around fanning yourself and drinking mint juleps.
Sometimes, you don't want anything with more wattage than a toaster heating up your already humid kitchen. Sometimes, when tomatoes are ripe, all you really need for lunch is a fine old-style open-faced toasted sandwich, or overgrown bruschetta. Aaaannnnd if you also happen to have little bottles of basil oil and red pepper oil (Italian style), and a couple of plump balls of bocconcini lurking in the fridge, you can make yourself a pretty snazzy little lunch, without roasting the entire house.

That looks SO appetizing!!
sounds like an ideal lunch!
Oh how I wish my tomatoes would ripen!!!
That is the best lunch in the summer.
I eat a crazy amount of tomato-on-toast in the summer. Breakfast, lunch, snacks - it's all good. Adding a little bocconcini, red onion, and herbs, though, and it seems like a much more legitimate lunch!
