Anything Food Network, really, but Bobby Flay and Jamie Oliver are the particular heroes of a certain one of my boys. Now you have to give me that recipe, please????? You can email it to me if you like - my email is on my blog. Or just post it here. I'll find it. <br /><br />Tropical weather is great for year round everything. Except we seriously lack berries. ...sigh....The Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03090284449975514483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1562399109879575214.post-19601833557482275872010-08-23T22:56:28.145-04:002010-08-23T22:56:28.145-04:00I buy a basil plant.

For a $4 investment every two months I get tons of fresh basil.<br /><br />I also like to hollow out a cantelope and put vanilla ice cream in it.<br /><br />Yum!Another Suburban Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16120153702254735445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1562399109879575214.post-74040567876187435782010-08-23T18:56:10.569-04:002010-08-23T18:56:10.569-04:00@Deb: you're obviously not thinking creatively...@Deb: you're obviously not thinking creatively enough. Toss it in to almost anything you cook for dinner. It should never go to waste!<br /><br />@Reader:Yup, cold. You can use some other nuts if you like, they just add a nice crunch, Marcona almonds are just the chichi ingredient of the moment, next week all the rage will be pine nuts from God knows where or something similar.<br /><br />I'm afraid I'm not larger than life enough to be the subject of a movie, but you're certainly more interesting than that Julie Powell!'<br /><br />I've got a few more great basil recipes for you. I am jealous of the year round accessibility. Oh, and do they do Chimichurri sauce in Brasil? I have a great mint chimicurri from Bobby Flay. I could eat it everyday.The Mendon Foodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08621138550005008938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1562399109879575214.post-53615043814648910082010-08-23T08:47:40.088-04:002010-08-23T08:47:40.088-04:00You need a more remote outpost; I have fresh basil...You need a more remote outpost; I have fresh basil (and fresh mint) in my flower beds. Year round. Huge amounts; it's like a weed, and keeps the bees happy. Love the stuff. <br /><br />I'm sorry Deb has to pay $3 for a bunch. How sad. <br /><br />I LOVE the two recipes/suggetions - must try the cantelope thing. You served it cold? I do get a pass on the almonds, right, since I"m using fresh basil...?? <br /><br />I should do a "Julia/Julie project" thing with me and your blog. Think they'd make a movie of us???? I try your stuff often. Always a hit.The Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03090284449975514483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1562399109879575214.post-70732995455904074332010-08-23T07:55:19.822-04:002010-08-23T07:55:19.822-04:00Aw, you do care!

Or to give the rest to my good friend June.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07049833165464780021noreply@blogger.com
