Fantastic Pesto Man! That's a great article.

You cannot imagine the craving I now have for pesto after reading that. I think I'm going to have to go and buy a big bunch of basil....

I could almost taste the pesto!!! At our local market-Red Hill, I buy a wonderful pesto from Paul a retired bank manager. I recently enjoyed making a lemon parsley pesto that was yummy with linguine. Thanks for sharing the article.

Ooo, Kabbles. Can you share the lemon parsley pesto recipe? I'm so into alternative pestos! I recently had a sandwich with cilantro pesto in a restaurant and that was sublime.

I think you should be famous! May your fame and fortune only grow like... well, basil!

Wow, Pesto man, that's terrific! What a sense of accomplishment, just like you said, of being able to say at the end of the day, "I made that." Completely, from start to finish!

Here's to your continued success! Very Happy

Wowee-zowee!!!! Laughing

I am sending this link to my sister in Baton Rouge - she will be in NOLA next week for a convention (LA Farm Bureau) and will surely drop by!

Congratulations on making it look easy! I know from Marsha how difficult even simple things are right now in LA, so you are surely a beacon of light! Cool

All the best - and the next time I'm down there, I'm definitely meeting you for a martini! I'll bring the olives! Laughing

That is very cool Pesto Man! Though I did expect a cape, or was that your version of Clark Kent's glasses?

Congratulations!
