Fall Schedule...and Pesto
We are starting our new fall schedule on Monday.
The kids wanted to this week (well, okay...actually just the girl- the
boys are content to play all day until they are 30- um, make that 40-
oh well, do they ever grow up?)
I have a nasty little cold, given to me on purpose
by my villianous husband. I guess I better be more sympathetic to him
next time. I'm taking it easy more, not just because of this cold, but
because we are starting our fall schedule. We get up earlier, go to bed
earlier, do chores earlier...you get the picture.
Since I have a highschooler this year, I am also perfecting the art of
keeping (making first!) transcripts. Not too bad, really. It's still
"one more thing" though.
One thing I like about fall and winter is the food! I love soups,
stews, hot bread, and that kind of thing. Trouble around here is it's
still 100 degrees sometimes during the day! Not quite fall. So, I am
transitioning by making pastas and salads with homemade wheat rolls
slathered in butter and honey. Since I'm sick today, forget the rolls-
we are just having pasta and salad- hey! I'm the Queen around here, and
if I say forget the rolls- ell then, we forget the rolls. Can you tell
I'm a little crabby when I'm sick?
Here's my homemade Pesto recipe:
In the blender- throw in:
a couple handfuls of fresh Basil
1/2 olive oil (the good stuff)
a large handful of toasted pine nuts
2 handfuls of shredded parmesan cheese
1 or 2 garlic cloves
a squeeze of fresh lemon
salt & pepper to taste
a titch of hot water if you need more liquid to blend.
Blend it up and put it on your hot pasta! Call 'em in to eat.
