Other than pesto, what else can I use some fresh basil for? My little plant in a pot on the balcony is turning into a bush
We eat it for dinner when her crops are in.
@LnzyHou
(I should have planted tomatoes but my balcony is little.)
Buy the good tomatoes. Not the pink ones.
@LnzyHou
I know what you’re saying. Our local tomatoes aren’t in yet (located in Brooklyn) but the produce markets seem to be getting some nice red tomatoes somewhere
Love beefsteak tomatoes
@LnzyHou
You know it! When we were little my mother used to call beefsteaks “New Jersey tomatoes” because they were supposed to have that special something if they grew in Jersey
Jersey tomatoes are the bomb.
@LnzyHou
For sure!
@NorthernInvader
Now I’m jealous!
Perfect combination to celebrate summer ☀️
@NorthernInvader
Haha obviously you do some cooking!
@NorthernInvader
I knew it!
What a collection!
I would use the plain version. Anything else might mask the perfection of the ingredients.
@LnzyHou
(Probably wise since I only have the plain anyway)
I used the middle one (black cherry) in a salad dressing in a late late night raid of the fridge) last night. Had an urge for toast and jam, went to the fridge and ignored my craving and instead made a big salad with walnuts, pumpkin seeds, raisins, red pepper, mushrooms, red onion, shredded cheddar, spring greens. Dill dressing with the black raspberry vinegar added. Saved half (no dressing) for breakie today with toasted English Muffing and poached eggs :)
@NorthernInvader
Holy mackeral!
My mouth is watering uncontrollably.
@NorthernInvader @LnzyHou @GreenCheese heh--for some reason this pic made me think of this old Onion piece:
