Check out what I picked up from my farmer yesterday! Jealous? Join the
River Road Gardens CSA. Coming home with this amazing selection of beautiful food biodynamically and organically grown by people who love what they do and work incredibly hard makes be do a little jig every other Saturday (I split a share with a friend).
In addition to these lovely squash, garlic, eggplant, sweet and hot and peppers, I was given a huge bunch of basil and a few pounds of perfectly ripened tomatoes.
I will attempt to make sauce with all these beautiful tomatoes. I borrowed a food mill from a friend and will try something I have never done. After that I will try turning all that basil into pesto (another thing I have never done). It's a food adventure in my kitchen today!
Some hours later....
I made the best damn pesto! I loosely followed
Jamie Oliver's recipe.
