Actually I was stunned when I saw how much walnuts cost to buy in the store - it has been many, many years since I've had to buy them and we only just finished using up all the ones from our old trees. I'm on the lookout in our area to find a neighbour who doesn't want the walnuts off their tree and will let me collect them, we only have a small walnut tree at this place. I hope your 15 basil plants perk up and get growing with all this heat we are finally getting.<br /><br />Moment to moment - we find it really good frozen, still much tastier than anything we could buy in a store.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01343988569221606506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3559352152168236450.post-55937224735296380872011-08-06T20:37:55.546-07:002011-08-06T20:37:55.546-07:00mmmmmmmmm

Too funny.

It must be amazing to find the abundance and make use of it. Our basil is humming along, and even with 15 plants or so, we will doubtfully have that much to harvest. It's just been so cool, even in the hoophouse. But the market will have lots even though I shall have to pay for it! Does your recipe call for pinenuts? I love those but, ooo, are they spendy!Erinhttp://erin-awildandpreciouslife.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3559352152168236450.post-18340854076959530462011-08-03T10:34:14.959-07:002011-08-03T10:34:14.959-07:00Lucky you; apricots are crazy expensive here.
