What did you do today?

Thanks to some unscheduled events by the doc I work for, I did not have to do any typing today. Therefore, I was able to do some things that I wanted to do - well, actually needed to do. One of which was making some homemade pesto to freeze for the long winter ahead. I made it last year for the first time and was it ever good!! I got to the point where I was literally hoarding it towards the end of the winter because I knew it would be a long time before I had any more of the wonderful stuff! To find fresh basil here in the northland over a winter is next to impossible. (And, believe me, I tried!) At any rate, since we were in a frost advisory last night, I went out to my lowly garden plot and cut all my basil. Today, I knew I needed to get the pesto made before it wilted and went south on me. I was able to eek out six 1-cup containers of it. Oh, the wonderful smell (and taste) when it was all done! Yum! I know pesto is an acquired taste, but oh, is it ever a wonderful taste once you acquire it!! I also made a pan of lasagna for our small group potluck coming up this Sunday evening. I did a few other things, too, but my biggest accomplishment was making the pesto. I am wondering how long it will last over the winter months...not long enough, I know that for sure!
