I made this about an hour ago and I sincerely doubt there will be enough left to mix with farfalle for supper tonight.

Oh my, I really have to try this one. It sounds great.

I like to stir some pesto into dishes with white beans in them too. Great flavor.

We made farfalle pasta and stirred this into it. It wasn't very tasty until we added some salt and then....wonderful. Three of us ate the whole pound of farfalle with this pesto. I made it with little salt so Fredia could eat it, but unfortunately she didn't like the flavor...so, I added salt and you know the rest. We're all sitting here way over fed

Next I'm going to make some Garlic Pesto

Yup, Portland is our first stop - we'll do some cooking with Don Kaiser in his new kitchen, that I just love.

And...we're trying to work out time to kidnap you (Billy) and all of us run up to Vancouver to Scotty's bistro Vesta's for lunch!! Sound good?

Oh, PJ - it's not going to be long till we're headed out your directon. I can hardly wait. We'll spend a nite in Stockton with Sharon (harborwitch) and Bob. We'll be seeing kids along the way also. I wish we were going far enuf south to see Denise!!! Maybe next trip.

As of May 31st, we are just Social Securtiy Blue-Hairs, so we won't be hitting all the restaurants we used to. Nor will we hit as many wineries..... (well, not as many, anyway... )

Jean, don't forget to tell us all about that one. I really enjoyed hearing about the last meal you had there! And no counting points that day!
