Tonight's dinner: homemade pesto with capellini! Our herb buckets are doing so well, so far. This summer, we've had a bountiful source of basil, particularly, so I have been making pesto a lot. It's so quick, easy, and a bit like capturing summer in a bowl. (P.S. Kinda embarassed that I've been giving pesto to A & J a few times now, I just found out they have their own very robust basil plant!)
The Fella and I are quite proud that we haven't forgotten to water the plants (much, anyway), prune 'em back, fertilize once in awhile, and trim flowering buds from the basil (a big no-no in basil upkeep, because flowers are a sure sign that your plant will soon die). Two green thumbs up this year!
