Last night, I wanted to use a couple of items in the fridge before they left their prime. Specifically, a bunch of basil and a large bunch of fresh spinach. So I made pesto.
Into the food processor went garlic, walnuts, the basil, and the spinach. Then salt and pepper to taste, and olive oil to make it "creamy." The spinach made up the bulk of the pesto, and I chose not add any cheese, so I didn't feel bad at all about piling it on the pasta. And when I stuck some of the combined pasta and pesto in the microwave for lunch today, no weird texture issues that you sometimes get with a heated pesto-with-cheese.

I found some nametags and tag-stuff supplier btw., but they don't do readymade shtripey tags [well, of course] :( So it has to be what we talked about earlier. It's going to be fun!
