Must cook! Must cook!

What do you do with pesto? Well, I'm going to toss it with fresh homemade linguini and eat it.

This was insanely good, by the way.

We watched a show this weekend that made what looked like an awesome pesto that I'd like to try, just can't remember what the program was to look it up on the internet

I had a mug of tomato soup.

I'm making some weird dish with artichokes and green beans. I'll probably end up tossing it.

with grilled cheese?

A classic!

Braised Short Ribs over homemade Gnochi, Apple Crisp for dessert...
Perfect for a smowy day.

with grilled cheese?

No, I don't think my tummy can handle that.

Yum.

It was.

Man, if there is anything that smells better than fresh pesto, I'd love to know what it is. The recipe, for those who care:

• 1 lg bunch of fresh basil (this is two or three packs if you get the kind Shoppers has), leaves only, no stems
• 4 cloves fresh garlic (don't use the jarred minced kind)
• palmful of pine nuts
• a cup or so of *fresh* grated Parmesan or Asiago (or Romano, or any other Italian hard cheese). Do not use the crap that's already grated for you.
• Olive oil ?

Sweet classic recipe!

Maybe some S&P, and use a mortar-pestal instead of choping?

I love my M&P, I do. But it crushes the basil instead of chopping it, which irritates me. Just a personal preference.

S&P goes in the final dish, whatever that may be, that includes the pesto.

You and I need to open a business - catering or restaurant. You already know that I'm okay playing second banana to your Top Chef. I cook #### - you're a culinary artist. I'm a little bit country - you're a little bit rock and roll.

I think it's a match.

I through a london broil out on the grill... in the snow. For some reason grilling in the snow/rain makes everything taste better

why thank-you!

an "artist", hardly, but like you I love food and its diversity, helps to put a bit extra in dishes... The counrty side is a good thing, I hold on to mine, I'll eat red-eyed-gravy anytime!
You are indeed an excellent "prep-#####", even more so, a great conversationilist while doing same.

We had a veritable pot pourri. Grilled fish filets, breaded scallops, mini crabcakes, fish sticks (my favorite - ) and fries!

Oh! AND! I came up with the perfect steak rub for mAlice and Il Duce Speedo - one who doesn't like it spicy, and the other who doesn't want it to overwhelm the meat.

Personally, even if a steak is carefully marinaded and seasoned, I'll take a bite, go "yum", then smother it in A-1. But that's me - I'm a steak sauce person.

With your good taste in beer, I'll give you a pass on this sacrilege.

Would did you toss it with and how'd it turn-out?
