Another long day.. it is nearly 11 pm now and I am just getting to write for the day.I was in charge the fresh food buyers co-op again today. It is obvious that gardens are growing and people are getting local stuff from the few farmers around. We went from 66 boxes last month to 23 this month.Did chores around here and then I got a bee in my bonnet about making pesto tonight..
Get out your food processor and make some for your own..
Take 6 handfuls of Basil.. I mixed mine tonight, even added Purple
3-4 Garlic cloves
half a handful or so of Walnuts
a pinch of Salt and about 1/2 to 3/4 cup of Olive Oil
Turn on your food processor or blender or you can even use a knife or a Mortar & Pestle and crush all the ingredients and slowly drizzle in the olive oil.This is great on homemade bagels (Summer 2005 issue) or on angel hair pasta and my friend who is staying the night tonight, used a bunch of it on her egg sandwich she just made.My favorite is on a bagel with avocado, tomato, alfalfa sprouts, and our goat cheese.. toasted or not toasted.. OH.. and sunflower seeds on it.
