Garlic and Scrabble


Welcome to my blog!

Today I am thinking about garlic. It is a very potent spice. Or is it a spice at all? A root? a bulb? Whatever your pleasure, garlic has a very strong and lasting odor. I made pesto for my family this evening with a recipe from a farm in Oregon, and it called for quite a lot of garlic. Also for fresh basil, which I harvested from our porch.

Vegan Pesto
with love from Kings Valley
2 c. each packed basil leaves, toasted sunflower seeds (or walnuts or almonds-yum!), and water
about 8 cloves garlic, peeled and coarsley chopped
3/4 tsp. salt
1 Tbsp. olive oil
Blend thoroughly in food processor or blender

Well, that's about all for today. The scrabble board is from the game my brother and I played tonight. it was a very close game, and I came out on top 240 to 239. We used all the letters.
