That is very serious!!! There is nothing better than fresh pesto, it tastes like liquid sunshine. It's been so hot here in the Midwest that my basil is just about finished, but I'll be using every last basil leaf I can.

Oh yes, this is serious! The world will come to an end if there is no pesto...(rolling eyes).
I wonder what would happen if Mexicans were deprived of taco's. Would they go back home?

The world will come to an end if there is no pestoNow you're just being silly! The 22nd is almost over and we're all still here. However, without pesto, the world will be a little less bright....

I made about a pint of it this morning.
I don't particularly like it much, but I work at an Italian restaurant.

The alkaline terrain in Pra and the microclimate created by the Mediterranean Sea give the small-leafed Genoese basil variety a less pungent taste, making what many consider a more delicate, perfect pesto. Alkaline in the field helps the herb score on the plate.

The power of olive oil, pine nuts, and basil.
That combo is music to this American of Italian heritage's ears ;-)
SAVE THE PESTO!
