Store bought pales in comparison. <br />Ingredients are:<br />-large bunch of basil leaves<br />-olive oil<br />-Pine nuts or walnuts<br />-parmesean cheese cut into smallish lumps<br />-lemon juice<br />-salt<br /><br />I just process basil and oil til mush, add ~1/2 c nuts, juice of 1/2 lemon, and a 1/4 c of cheese. Taste it and adjust to taste. Add salt last, since cheese will be salty.Homestead Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05609656644515059452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1382977786479187693.post-72106360099563240532009-05-28T04:24:43.179-04:002009-05-28T04:24:43.179-04:00The pic looks a picture of civility!

It is at least contained in a nook of the kitchen, but it's disgusting. I can't be bothered (yet) to improve the behaviour, but a re-paint is in our future.<br />p.s. -- becca - pesto is easy and oh so much better than store-bought! must post my quickie recipe...Alison Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07163975142196122384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1382977786479187693.post-33561502182054322722009-05-27T13:20:42.203-04:002009-05-27T13:20:42.203-04:00We've always been sticklers for that.

We still have a sticky kitchen and a trail of yuck on the first three-ish feet of carpet leading away from the kitchen, but largely, the stay at the table rule works well for keeping the food mess contained. Good luck.<br /><br />I love pesto... is it hard to make?Beccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05156777853779141522noreply@blogger.com
