on walking through snow & homemade pesto.
Tadaaa. It’s me again. Happy New Year, Happy New President, etc.
I have a random issue that’s been bugging the hell out of me - why do people not hold umbrellas through snow/flurries? I thought it was perfectly sensible to use an umbrella in a snow storm…until my husband made fun of me. And then I noticed that no one else was using one. So my question of the day is this: what is the logic behind this nonsense phenomenon?
(FYI I tried going umbrella-free the other day, and I ended up with icicles on my lashes, and two inches of snow on top of my head.)
HOMEMADE PESTO with FLAXSEED.
Ingredients: (4 Servings)
1 cup Fresh Basil Leaves
2/3 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1/2 cup Parmesan, Grated
1/3 cup Flaxseeds, Ground
1 clove Garlic
Salt & Fresh ground pepper to taste
Blanch basil leaves (5-10 seconds), and transfer to an ice bath. Drain and squeeze out excess water. Place basil, parmesan, garlic, and flaxseed in a blender. Blend until fine; adjust seasoning with S/P.
