The Explorer is on staycation right now, exploring the deepest corners of the mind and sleep. But fresh produce never rests, and tomatoes and basil are bursting forth now.
I walked into Hindinger’s farm store today, and the basil aroma was arresting. I talked with one of the farmers, and she told me she’d been cutting basil all morning. “My shirt smells like it,” she said. “Nice perfume,” I responded, and we smiled. I bet you’re smelling it right now…
…and I’m off to make pesto. Aaaahhh, summer.
Yum!
