Lightly kneaded dough:
Lightly oiled and extra rosemary for good measure:
The tasty result!

pesto!
Since we're going away for our annual anniversary celebration beginning next weekend, I wanted to harvest all of the basil in case it went to seed while we were gone and I lost it. It's happened before, sadly. So I whipped up six cups of pesto today.
Can you tell how beautiful the green is?
We had some for lunch.
Finally I used the brilliant idea from my Simple Suppers book and filled an ice cube with the remaining pesto. In a day or so I'll pop them out and store them in a freezer bag. That way, we always have individual servings of pesto ready to go. In order to do this, it should be noted, I omit the parmesan from the recipe. I just add cheese when it's time to add them to the dish.
All in all, a busy and successful weekend. We'll be traveling next weekend, so maybe not so much to post. xo

corn and basil cakes
Yay for fresh Eastern Shore corn mixed with basil from our yard (we have so much) into a pancake. Super easy and a nice side to many meals. Here's the recipe.
