ON THE FLY

Jun 12, 2003 21:53

I cut a bunch of basil from the plant outside and made pesto. I don't like following recipes so I dumped the rest of the parmesan cheese, enough oil to make the blender work and a splash of garlic. I added feta because I'm addicted to feta and because there is never ever enough cheese in anything I eat ( Read more... )

Was it good? It sounds pretty good. You should probably cut down on the cheese, but you don't have to give it up completely.

Re: chippiex June 13 2003, 10:25:24 UTC

I overcooked the pasta a tad but the pesto was pretty good. I should have added walnuts which I prefer to pignoli nuts. You're right about the cheese.

p.s. I always read and take in what you write even if I don't comment.

Hi um, I randomly found your journal through pregnancy community...we are the same # of weeks..

Just thought I'd through my 2 cents in...don't give up all cheese just unpasturized cheese (like Feta..no-no)

Re: chippiex February 9 2004, 12:53:43 UTC

That was then - this is now. I'm not giving up cheese. I was trying to stay slim for the wedding but now that I'm pregnant -no trying to stay slim! But pleny of Feta says pasteurized on the label so I've been eating it. Is that bad?

congrats on your 13 weeks!

Re: isabella_ February 9 2004, 14:39:31 UTC

Oh I didn't notice the date on your post! Sorry!

Oh as long as its pastureized I'd say go for it!

Congrats to you too!

You're a friend of commiegirl's. That is a high recommendation. I wouldn't mind being able to read your journal.

chippiex April 7 2004, 22:03:32 UTC

Commiegirl is great. How do you keep up with all the journals you've friended? Already I can't keep up. I'll friend you back so you can read my boring journal but it will probably disappoint. Also, have lately not been able to keep up with reading so I may not be able to reciprocate in the reading department.

Well, I'm no more able to read every single thing on my friends page, than I am able to say, read every book that catches my interest, drink all the water in a river, or love all the women that appear in my life. I do like to dip into the stream though.
