Trader Joe’s cauliflower gnocchi with Rao’s. I got the Rao’s on the recommendation of this board. I won’t get it again. Way too salty.

Rao’s marinara? I’ve never found it salty at all.

Malaysia might still be in lockdown as it is now along with ASEAN countries ( except Singapore , which currently has 2 weeks compulsory quarantine / tests on arrival ) .

I do like Singapore, but would more likely hang out at my house in BDO if I go to SE in the next 6 months. Was supposed to go this summer, but quarantine, and problems getting award tickets have scuttled that plan.

What's funny about the MJ is that either most have forgotten about it or never heard about it. Last time I was there, one of my young relatives was lamenting that there was no desert after dinner. .. I improvised a Michael Jackson (grass jelly and carnation and simple syrup) and it was like I had invented sliced bread or something...

Homemade pepperoni pizza with onion and the first banana pepper from our little garden tonight.

Side note on the garden. I planted 6 basil plants from seed this spring, assuming that since we have to start indoors here, not all of them would make it. 5 of the 6 have (although 2 are still a little small for harvesting), so we have an abundance of basil. Besides Italian dishes, looking for ideas. One day soon will be Thai-style Basil Chicken.

I ended up with four basil plants last year and did plenty of pinching so I had four basil bushes by the time I was done. Just three this year!

I'd highly recommend herb salads. By last August our salads were half lettuce half herbs, usually a handful of basil, mint, parsley and whatever else was in abundance. It's such a great way to change up salads. I have posted it before, but check out Charlie Bird's farro salad recipe, I do that one with basil and mint.

Well, with enough, there's anything you can put pesto on.... then pho or a myriad of vietnamese dishes...

I'm lingering on home-made French food longer than I first anticipated. There's something about butter, white cooking wine, and thyme...

That sounds like it might have been camera ready. Just as well that you didn't post a photo ...i am hungry already.

Great idea. This is our first year since we didn't have room in the city for growing. We may plant smarter combos next year. But besides too much basil, we have parsley, cilantro, oregano, and rosemary. Certainly can supplement with something from the store to make a salad. When we moved in last year, we had invasive mint plants overtaking some flower beds and around our patio. While it needed to be done, I'm a little sorry my wife went on a mission to eradicate them all.

Yeah - we have enough for pesto, and I bought some pine nuts yesterday. Love the pho idea. While I love to eat Vietnamese, I haven't really made much of that cuisine.

Thanks for the ideas!
