And noticed the lemon balm in pots on the patio growing furiously. Also some yellow wood sorrel on the patio, definitely unsprayed.
Since I have no parmesan to include, I thought a bit of sorrel would add that tang. Which it did, very much.
So I added in a bit of coconut milk to take the edge off, which it did. And since I had no cheese in the mix, a pinch of salt. It seems pretty good.
We'll see how it works on pasta. If I like it, it's pesto. If not, it's soup flavoring.
The pesto is flattened into a recycled Ziploc bag, frozen. I can break off the exact amount I want when I'm ready for it. And I blended a couple of cups of water to get all the pesto out of the blades. That gets frozen, too, for soup. Then there's no waste and you just clean the blender as usual.
This stuff is supposed to help with agitation, as is sorrel, seems appropriate for many reasons right now.
I don't want to talk current affairs here, but we're all so crushed by the sadness, that I just mention it so that you know I'm not in denial. But I don't want to add the burden of yet another opinion. I'm trying to find out how I can help, though. Not just sitting!
