I made pesto tonight. I’m always watching people do it on television, and it looks so fun. You need: olive oil, garlic, fresh basil, parmesan cheese, and pine nuts.
I toasted the pine nuts. I’d never tasted them before, and they’re kind of weird. Like a nut made of gin.

Throw everything into the blender. I could have used my food processor, but that would involve finding it, then cleaning it. The blender’s handier.
Buzz it up and you’re done! It has a powerful lot of flavor, I tell you whut. I’m not sure if I like it yet. Tomorrow I’m going to put it on some fish, and also pasta. We’ll see! How ’bout that for being adventurous!
