Grow basil, grow!

I have a little herb garden on my patio. Growing outside my apartment is a pot of basil and a pot with a mix of flat leaf parsley and rosemary. No sage. Or Thyme. Sorry Simon and Garfunkel.

My basil had been growing out of control. It was time for a trim. I hacked at it (a.k.a. snipped nicely with kitchen scissors) and cut enough to make a pesto sauce. My very first pesto sauce ever. I do have to say, I make a mean pesto.

A little pesto sauce; a little whole wheat penne; a little warm bread. Molto bene! [if only hand gestures like kissing your fingertips like an Italian could come across on a blog]

Molto bene indeed!

Your description helped the gesture come across: I can picture it right now!
