I picked these from the greenhouse.
I helped these to grow!!!
So I had to eat them.
After toasting a sandwich thin in the frying pan, I added my own version of basil pesto, cooked turkey bacon, Londoner cheese, a fried egg, and chopped chives on top.
This pesto was about 1 cup fresh basil, 1/2 cup plain almonds, and 3-4 Tbsp olive oil (and a pinch of salt).
I hung the Thai basil blossoms. So pretty.
This was my husband's version: regular bacon and sliced tomato. No complaints there!
So tell me: What would you create with chives and basil???
I like the idea of a flower arrangement. Although, I am planning on transplanting my basil to a larger container. Are you supposed to cut off the blossoms?
ReplyDeleteYes! You are supposed to cut off the blossoms to keep the energy going to the leaves! :)
