I love pesto and put some in the freezer from my crop last summer. We had a drought and my basil did exceptionally well. I plant it right in the flower garden, because it has the best soil and the most sunshine. <BR/><BR/>You can't go wrong with mono-unsaturated fats!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14201860227400017841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6690745083870672507.post-85046197516184348542009-01-04T10:15:00.000-08:002009-01-04T10:15:00.000-08:00Fattening.... nahhhhhh!
