I usually make the "standard" pesto (pine nuts, basil,Parmesan, olive oil, garlic, salt) so I will definitely give your recipe a try! Sounds yummy! And yes, we also make a lot if homemade pizza (including the dough). So much better than the frozen or delivery kind. I hope you have more recipes you can submit for our trying! Thanks Bubba!

I love to cook and yes it need not be either expensive or bad for your health. I see people at the checkouts with packaged or pouched ready to eat meals that are both expensive and bad choices. If you own a blender try pesto 2 cups of either basil, asparagus (chop before you put in blender), broccoli, parsley, spinach, or even watercress. OK any green veggie you like, and can be a little as one cup put in your blender or food processor with enough olive oil to make a paste about a 1/2 cup of olive oil to two cups veggie and as an option 1/2 to 3/4 cup of grated parmesan. If you like it slice a clove of garlic before you process smooth. Some recipes call for pine nuts, I find them very expensive so use roasted soy beans or peanuts both unsalted. Maybe a tablespoon. Salt and pepper to taste. This pesto will keep for a week in your frig, in a tightly sealed container. Cook your pasta al-dente put a dollop of pesto in after you drain it. A little of the pasta water could be retained, toss and you are in flavor town! A beaten egg in the hot pasta with some breadcrumbs is also very good. I also use my pesto as a pizza topping along with sliced tomato, very thin slices of red onion, mushrooms, artichokes, olives use your imagination. Top with mozza, or parmesan, padano whatever you have on hand. I buy a big wedge of parmasan at Costco (expensive), but lasts for months, cut it in half, freeze half and keep it in a zip lock bag. I never touch the cheese with my hands, just push it out of the bag, grate what I need seal and I never have lost any cheese to mold. If you have some quality sausage or crumble even one slice of cooked bacon on the pizza or pasta, but meat is optional or a garnish. Less is definetly more, 350' for 15 minutes a quarter spoonfull of pesto on top of an egg that is poaching is also wonderful. Pasta is cheap, keeps forever, I am never more than 20 minutes from a great meal. If you really want to impress, pick up a partially cooked baguette or french loaf, 15 minutes at 400' while your pasta cooks and you will look like La Chef. I also use cabbage, usually a dollar a pound, slice fine grate a carrot, slice green onions, a tomato if I have one, a little olive oil, some sesame oil a dash. I get 4 or 5 salads out of one cabbage for the two of us. Anyway some thoughts on how two retirees handle the cooking. Cheers Bubba Great Idea!

One has to be blind, reading even a few e-mails from the climate change scandal, not to conclude that the IPCC has no authority to speak on climate. Whether AGW as a theory is correct, or not, cannot be proven by existing computer models. This is the real tragedy of the scandal, we no longer know what scientists to trust.

This particular vote of non-confidence was precipitated by a horrible miscalculation by Harper who saw the current financial crisis as a way to press his advantage and further weaken his parliamentary opposition for future elections..Since Canadians went to the polls on October 14 Harper believed that the other parties in Parliament the Liberals NDP and Bloc Quebecois were too weak to oppose any measures he might deem appropriate. So rather than working with the opposition Harper tried to twist the knife. .In early December Prime Minister Stephen Harper the leader of a minority Conservative government prorogued or dissolved parliament in order to avoid a Vote of Non-Confidence.
