But I'm absolutely sure the pesto you made is MUCH, MUCH better than the one I'm eating because I got mine from a JAR.<br /><br />I ADORE pesto because I ADORE basil. I think it's my favorite herb - the smell and the taste are heavenly. <br /><br />And you had me laughing at your last photo and words.<br /><br />" La la la, my house smells like it's burning. Until I suddenly remembered and ran into my kitchen."<br /><br />CRACKED ME UP!<br /><br />And listen, you are not a FAIR cook, you're an excellent cook. I couldn't make 1/4 of the things you make. And everything you make looks so GOOD!<br /><br />XRonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15977027331657615697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8104951117718966173.post-87637747985694842232013-11-16T18:54:28.513-05:002013-11-16T18:54:28.513-05:00What that caterpillar got was scalded.
