Damn, all I got out of it yesterday was that if your car catches fire on your way to visit friends, do not park it in their driveway.

Oh, I saw that one!

So, I decided to make carrot top and radish green pesto (substituting feta for half the parmesan and leaving out the pine nuts entirely because that's the way my pantry shook out)and it's pretty dang tasty! How about that?

What is the (please forgive me) essence that makes pesto pesto?

And, shit, I want to punch a fic-writer because her updates are ceasing to be enough in either quantity or frequency, but most importantly length.

Myself, I don't believe in all these non-traditional pestos. I mean, I'm sure they are delicious, but not pesto.

Oh, also, I have determined I enjoy pesto when it's cooked, so that's good.

A friend had a basenji and I loved him. But possibly only in contrast to her other evil devil dog.

Wiki says pesto means anything made by pounding, so probably anything herby/leafy with olive oil and some cheese? Otherwise you're looking at hummus and stuff.

I don't particularly like traditional pesto, but my SiL makes a chicken pesto pasta that's fantastic. The kids love it.

Hip hop fans, my sister just sent me a list to an ethnographic database of hip hop lyrics: [link] but I can't work out the depth and breadth of this thing. I guess I'll start with the champagne browser. But I need to see why, for instance, the poster of job opportunities with only black people on it makes me look twice. Which, sadface, because how many all white posters have I seen today? But this is about hip hop which to me means it should and shouldn't be racially monolithic (now reviewing poster to make sure my assessment of the silhouettes (I hate that I can't type that word quickly) isn't itself problem-ridden).

Those silhouettes are specific rappers, right? Which, sure, they could have people who aren't black men in that group, but probably not in most people's top ten.

(Which is problematic for reasons outside the people who made the website.)
