Pesto, Peppers, Pasta, Piggies

Aside from the awesome alliteration of the title, I also want to add Basil, Avocado, and Bread.

The other day at work I came back to my desk to an odd shaped interoffice mail envelope.  Inside of it was a wonderful surprise.  Not just some green peppers, but along with them, an instructive post-it note.  I felt obligated to comply.  Below you will see a wonderful pesto, lentil, and green pepper Alfredo sauce over pasta, a side of bread with avocado, and some fresh basil.  Yummy.  And, since I share food with my guinea pigs, they also enjoyed the peppers that arrived via interoffice mail.  -A

Basil Pink Lemonade Sun Tea

I love fresh-sweet-tangy-refreshing summertime drinks. I took the basil I grow in my living room and topped off the sun-tea pink lemonade mixture. I also added a little honey. I snuck a glass this evening after I chilled it for a little while. I am excited to share it with my parent's at the picnic we are having tomorrow for my dad's birthday.
