So (without Internet availability moans and groans) let me just start where we are:
Beneath the enormous mound of basil (and a few zinnias on the side) is a really big bowl that I thought was too big to take down to the garden to harvest basil for pesto. I only took it because I am always surprised by the bounty of the garden, so I guess that made be surprised at being surprised.
But, oh, those zinnias!
Once more with the basil:
And another surprised-at-being-surprised moment: all that basil netted less than two ice-cube trays of pesto. I tried Martha's lighter version, but still put in more basil and less oil.
Yum.
So that's where we are!
well, thank goodness you're back--you were seriously out of the blogging groove, my dear. I look forward to MANY more posts, and you know I always enjoy a good shot of some basil!
