I don't like pesto either, but olive oil is my problem, not garlic or basil. I love those both the mostest. I'm also probably not a fan of pine nuts, but the olive oil thing is strong enough that they are moot.
Onions I'd like better if they spent less time around. On hands or in my mouth unless they were cooked to transparency first, they feel like they linger to strongly between scrubbings. I eat garlic fries once a week at my desk, but no raw onions ever, and I often akk for them to be removed from cooked food if I need to be around people afterwards.

Well, they were down by six runs the entire time I was watching, so you may draw your own conclusions about that.
So, we've been closed at work since October, but we're opening in a week. So, me and boss have developed unrestrained potty-mouths in the interim, and jokingly declared that we needed a swear-jar in order to clean up our public discourse. But for it to work, the proceeds needed to go where we didn't want them to go. I off-handedly decided that it be the local Hysterical Historical Commission.
It took.
Price is a quarter. I actually had to leave work early on Friday because I didn't want to lose more money and then had a case of the giggle-fits over it. I never knew swear-jars could be so fun.
(We'd originally posited that the funds would go towards The Magic Fountain, but we then realized that we'd be more likely to stand over the jar and cuss in order to buy lots of icecream).
I would definitely rather have the pasta with just the cheese, olive oil, and pine nuts.

They are having a better night tonight, at least so far. They are beating my boys 3-1 at the moment.
The cats and I are in a stand off over their dinner. They have been bugging me since before 6pm when they don't normally get fed until 6:30 each night. I know it is past that now, but they have annoyed me too much.
Coolness!
Isn't it? He just had this interchange with Thelonious' son:
Me: "Hey TS, Thank you very much for performing my piece, man."
TS Monk: "Hey man, NO problem. It ain't no s***....you can write! When they first told me someone local was going to write a tune for the show, I said, 'What kind of bulls*** ia this?' Then I heard the tune. You can WRITE! Bulls****ing is hard, but tellin' the truth is easy....you can write!"

ita, what about a more mild nut oil? I've been using hazelnut oil for everything. It doesn't hold any flavor when cooked, but when raw it is divine (hazelnut oil, miso and lime is my current fave combo). Pesto without pine nuts, but with hazelnuts, garlic, basil and parmesan sounds divine.
Awesome, liese!
Also, happy birthday Amy!
Liese, that is fantastic.
