The pasta from last week looked incredible, and my mouth is watering from looking at the pizza! I can't wait to see what you are doing with the garlic scapes! We hardly get them at our Farmer's Market, but when we do I buy up the entire lot and put them in everything! How is your Basil doing? The thing with Basil is that it wants heat heat heat and sun. Be careful of overwatering - don't water it until you stick your finger in the soil and the top two inches is dry. Overly moist soil will do the baby basil in for sure, especially because I know you have h pretty shady balcony. Put it in a place where it can get the most possible sun and let it dry out a little. I had an embarrassment of riches with my basil harvest this week - i forgot to take pictures I was so excited! I made a watermelon, mint, and basil salad, a ton of pesto that I am going to freeze, and I've been wrapping everything that goes into my mouth in a basil leaf (does that sound dirty? ...sorry!) XOXO! OMIGOD this is HEAVEN seeing you cook with all of this wonderfully super-fresh produce! The pasta from last week looked incredible, and my mouth is watering from looking at the pizza!
