We have so much basil this year that we are trying to incorporate it into every meal. Last night we had caprese salad and pasta. The salad is one of my favorite summer dishes. I love the combination of basil and fresh mozzarella.
On the weekend I had a made a big pot of spaghetti sauce, knowing it would come in handy for a quick meal during this busy week. Last night I boiled some tortellini and we tossed half with some pesto that I made last week and poured sauce over the rest. A half and half meal! I called dibs on our new
Tom White bowl, acquired at the craftsmen's fair in New Hampshire last month. I love wide open bowls that can double as plates, and Jeff and I both really like Tom's pots.
and now back to pigs...
There may have been one piggy bank disaster in the kiln this week, but this order came out exactly right. I think I will add this blue and red combination to the repertoire. This guy is heading out to his new home today. He is a "china" first anniversary gift to a young man from his wife. How cute is that?
