What herbs do you have? _________________________ Kimberly Purcell Amethyst Organizing amethystorganizing.com facebook.com/amethystorganizing twitter.com/amethystorganiz

How would I go about that? _________________________ Christina http://wonderfulworldofhistory.blogspot.ca/ The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates.

Chop basil and add to processor, drizzle in olive oil until you have a wet paste. You can then freeze this in ice cube trays or small baggies. You can also make full-on pesto by adding garlic and pine nuts as well. _________________________ Kimberly Purcell Amethyst Organizing amethystorganizing.com facebook.com/amethystorganizing twitter.com/amethystorganiz
