I know, you guys! It's the BEST. And in a lovely suprise, and coworker of mine has a huge garden in full bloom and she's out of town for a week...and she told me to HELP MYSELF! Her basil (soon to be MY basil) is overflowing! Yahoo!
That basil is ripe for picking! Pick two cups of basil leaves, get 1 cup of pine nuts (expensive, look in the italian food section sometimes it is less $ than buying per pound in produce), 6 cloves of garlic, 1 & 1/3 cup parmesean cheese, 2/3 cup olive oil. Mix that up in your fabulous blender, toss with a pound of cooked pasta, grilled chicken and some roasted red peppers. I ate this breakfast, lunch and dinner. Took me a few weeks to tire of it. Enjoy!

I wouldn't even begin to know how to make pesto - but, I do love it. Great photos - you are going to be a wonderful photographer - already are.
Have a good week, Anna - see you soon - Kellan
Tell me how you make pesto, please. Your basil looks so good!

Yum indeed. The ONLY thing better than fresh basil is making pesto with fresh basil!!!
Hurray for summer!
