It's late Friday afternoon.
Hurricane Irene is bearing down.
It's hundreds of miles away.
The sun is out intermittently.
Irene is setting her sights on the Outer Banks.
I picked a bunch of my basil today.
About 6 quarts.
I had to because of Irene.
And the great thing was
I just bought pecans online
for $7.00/pound.
They're $10 for 7 ounces at FoodLion.
I start with the garlic.
Basil and pecans and Parmesan.
Add in some olive oil.
I use ELBOO.
Extra Light Bertolli Olive Oil.
I made pesto.
Two quarts at a time.
Three times.
Ack!
Freeze the pesto in ice trays.
Quick appetizer of pesto and pasta.
Mr. Hawthorne stir fries.
Good stir fry.

Pecans for pesto? I may need to try that. I can't seem to find pine nuts that are not somehow tainted with wheat in the packaging procees, but pecans may be easier.
And.... FROG!!!
Pesto, now made with frogs! Yummo!
