Hey, Pesto!

[logansrogue]

So today I went about making a pesto to put in a light pasta salady affair. And it was great, it was tasting SO bloody brilliant...

Until I misread the instructions and put two TABLESPOONS of raw sugar in instead of two TEASPOONS.

Nevertheless, it is a really fucking good pesto. If a little sweet. Which, is odd because sweet isn't what you'd expect from pesto. But it's turned into one of those sweet-savoury-garlicy-Italian pasta salad numbers. It goes very well with a side dish of baby spinach and olives and cheery tomatoes with Italian dressing. Which I have just gorged myself on (sans the cheery tomatoes cause damn it, it's the end of the week and we haven't been to the shop. And I know I've written "Cheery" tomatoes twice, but the first time was a mistake and now I think it's hilarious. Cheery tomatoes! Bwahahaha!)

Of course, now I spent all friggin' day making the pesto (three hours) cause I suck at cooking anything but cakes and cookies, I'm a bit friggin' knackered. Especially after washing all the things I used - except the strainer. Cause it needs soaking and I'm too fucking jiggered. Note to self - Clean strainer straight away before pasta cakes and dries hard on the fucking thing. Doofus.

Oh my friggin' GOD, fresh from the vine is the only way to have them. It's like the savoury fruit of the GODS.

I am pleased that my main gardening success has been tomatoes this year. They're all pretty tiny, but they're delicious.
