It’s one of my very favourite things on earth. It’s one of the simplest of pasta sauces, though it can honestly be put on anything. It’s light, it’s beyond delicious, and it should be in my mouth, right now. Traditionally made from basil, crushed garlic, pine nuts and Parmigiano-Reggiano or Pecorino blended with olive oil, it’s mind-bogglingly divine on a good linguine or trofie, an odd, hand-twisted pasta favoured in the birthplace of pesto, Genoa.
I’ve had the good fortune to have pesto in Genoa, where they take the stuff very seriously indeed, and have a habit of putting it on just about everything.

Good thing I’m making pasta tonight… otherwise that picture might have caused me to in a food rage mode!

Yeah, wife told me pasta tonight. Who will be making it may still be up for grabs, though.
Looking forward to eating some great pasta and mince and sauce. Hmm, sweet basil, ratatouille, tomato sauce. Hmm.

I’m making Chinese tonight. The true battle is if I can get the dude that is living with me to wash the dishes.
Dutch Matrix
September 29, 2015 at 16:14
Easy. Tell him: “Lazy ass dude. Please do the dishes. Otherwise find yourself another place to stay.”

I would love too… but to keep the peace at work and at the flat I have to be nice. Besides I need his rent money so I can save my own money for a new console or TV screen.
But I still can still figure something out! He won’t slip the chore just because he is feeling sick.
Dutch Matrix
September 29, 2015 at 16:20
No. I am done with being nice at cost to myself. People end up taking advantage of you.

NOOOOOO. I love Chinese food……….

Problem with Chinese is after fifteen minutes you are hungry again.

While we are on this subject, start crafting some Dragon keys and ODS. One of these days we are going vault farming 😛

Make one of each, that way we can alternate 3 times with 1 left over.

You don’t do ODS for vault runs, exterminate is much easier

One of our favourite spring/summer dishes too.
Our fridge always has a jar or three of home-made basil pesto in it. 😀

Glass of water on a Mars bar?
I think someone needs to share it on Lagz again so we can be sure everyone knows what you’re on about.
