Pesto
One of the fist things that we did after moving to our new house was to plant our vegetable garden. The deer ate the peppers, dill, and tomatoes but they left the oregano and basil untouched.
Last Friday Winston and I made pesto with the basil that was growing in our garden. Penelope contributed some of her almonds, yes almonds, although it was tough to get her to share them with us. Winston wanted to add almonds to the pesto instead of walnuts. I think I prefer pesto with almonds over pine nuts or walnuts.
We didn't measure anything. The pesto was a mixture of salt, garlic, olive oil, basil and almonds. We just kept adding things until it tasted right to me. We used the pesto on our home made pizzas or on bagels.
