We've had Basil and Cilantro (Coriander) in our garden. This weekend, Hein bought us a curly Parsley and Sage.
'Cause you CANNOT (well technically you can) make potato salad without curly (not the flat one!) Parsley!
Hein cut me some of the fresh Basil and I made pesto using roasted chilli Corn Nuts (actually quite nice),
sunflower oil, garlic, pepper and sommer grated Cheddar Cheese.
Yesterday I baked these cookies .... Sugar cookies with Basil Pesto in. Oh my goodness!!!! Quite addictive!!!!! Hein loved them as well!!
