if you buy a big bag of basil

from the liberty heights fresh market you can be assured of the following things:

1. it will be delicious.
2. tomatoes will follow you home as well
3. also that delicious seeded baguette
4. this will make the best tomato sandwich ever.
5. also you can use it for the main flavoring in a bowl of pasta.
6. there's still some left in your fridge!
7. basil soup?
9. basil smoothie?
10. basil breath.

Basil pesto:

Handful basil
Handful parsley
1-2 cloves of garlic (or more)
1/3 cup pine nuts or walnuts
1/4 cup grated parm cheese
salt

Blend while slowly adding in olive oil until it looks right (thick like a cream soup.)

Best part?

It freezes! Yay! Basil all year!
