last of this weekend list

[montjoye]

Whew. A mostly domestic weekend. I've done all the urgent stuff on my list, including vastly more house cleaning than I usually do and  another go-round with the car tail lights. Yay.


Catch that basil!
The weather has been cold enough that the basil was starting to go. So I've just turned 2 litres of loosely packed tasty leaves into shortcut pesto to put in the freezer for winter. I just blend it up with salt and olive oil. This time I've used a pot of cream to take up the bits sticking to all the implements- that will go over a chicken I plan to cook later. Yummy efficiency.



Jonquil rescue
Amongst the other garden chores, I planted out the jonquil bulbs that I had forgotten about from last year. They were valiantly trying to grow all crowded in the pot I had bought them in. I thought it was just an empty pot, surprise! I do hope they forgive me for disturbing them after they started growing.
