Basil

Natty, you look absolutely wonderful.  You are so beautiful, and I love you.  That's a pretty blouse, too.  Or sweater, or whatever it is.  I haven't seen it before.  You must have more photos like that tucked away where we haven't seen them.  Of course we would love to see them.

As you know, July is pizza month.  Now that I'm not working at the pizza joint anymore, I could eat pizza every day.  But cheese is expensive, so not right now.  I have yet to collect all the fixings and make the dough.  Worse than that, I only began to grow the basil this morning.  Good thing I got up early.  You can find basil seeds at the supermarket here, the locals like to put it in their drinks, it becomes jelly-like, with the appearance of frogs eggs once submerged in water.  Very tasty in iced tea.  So I bought a small packet.  I potted some ground coconut husk (normally used for hydroponics), then sowed the seed in that.  I don't know if these have enough life in them to germinate but if they do, I hope it would be in time for my sausage and basil pizza.  My favorite!  What's yours?
