Basil Harvest :: It’s Saturday night and I’ve just brought my pink bucket that has housed my basil plant all summer indoors. Little plant, it is time to harvest you. It takes me an hour and one close encounter with a pincher bug to pluck all the basil leaves off my basil plant and several more hours of errands(picking up ingredients) plus a quick tutorial on how to operate the food processor before I am ready to pulverize my beloved basil into beautiful pesto. 

And pulverize I did. Goodbye basil plant and hello gobs of delicious homemade pesto.
