Alliebars are back! She brought me a few at the HLS šŸ™‚

Had one for a snack today. 100% crunchy delicious. The secret is in the salt. And the pecans. But no one knows the recipe!

I worked for a lot of the afternoon…but finally got around to making pesto!

Fresh KERF farmed basil – about 2 cups lightly packed

Half a triangle block of Pecorino Romano (not sure why Matt got this over Parm)

IMG_0331 (640x427) (2)

GOLDEN – about a tbsp

IMG_0334 (640x427) (2)

Sea salt

IMG_0335 (640x427) (2)

‘Bout a quarter cup of walnuts

IMG_0330 (640x427) (2)

Whirl it up! It tasted different tonight – rich instead of bright? Not sure why!

Pasta made an appearance.

Specifically…

Pesto Shrimp + Veggies over Whole Wheat Angel Hair

Veggies included green peppers, fresh mater, zucchini

10 jumbo USA wild shrimp

Tongs and more Garlic Gold

Once you put the shrimp in, WALK AWAY. Alton Brown will haunt you if you don’t!

My impression of Alton Brown chewing:

More acting:

YOU MUST PAY THE RENT

IMG_0356 (640x422)

I CAN’T PAY THE RENT

IMG_0355 (640x427) (3)

I’LL PAY THE RENT

IMG_0353 (640x427) (3)

MY HERO!

My personal hero fancied up the dish with more Garlic nuggets –

IMG_0357 (640x427) (3)

Some more grated cheese

IMG_0360 (640x427) (3)

And a sprig of basil

IMG_0374 (640x427) (2)

We thought this was two portions, but it turned out to be about 4!

KERFs:

The leftovers

IMG_0381 (640x427) (2)

Bubbles make everything fancier (although I would have killed for some chardonnay with this meal!)

IMG_0385 (640x427) (2)

Also, my new gold placemats I won during Sabrina’s HLS talk on entertaining!

An hour later… chocolates.

IMG_0391 (640x427) (2)

There are now 3 chocolates with a single nibble out of them. Yes, I’m one of those people.

IMG_0389 (640x427) (2)

I am either going to watch So You Think You Can Dance or read my book. Still undecided!

I also might play around with the KERF Theme design. Now that I FINALLY have time to work on the blog again! I hope to update many of the pages and do some minor upgrades to things. As Scar would say…"Be Pre–pared"

Nite.

    Thanks Kath for the Laugh!

  10. The pesto looks great! If you have more basil and want to try something a little different, FatFree Vegan Kitchen has a great recipe for an eggplant pesto that I made today. You could try it out and alter it to your taste – I was pleased with the original recipe.

    The main reason I had to leave a comment is because you quoted Scar. The Lion King is my all-time favorite Disney movie, hands down. What’s yours?

    And by the way, I like the orange up top and I think it’s really awesome how you can/did change the one button from “Kath” to “Kath, RD.” Congrats again. šŸ˜‰

  11. That pasta dish looks amazing! I made something similar last week that also had golden raisins in it. I always have a hard time determining how much pasta I’ll need for me and my husband. Usually we end up with leftovers, which is fine with me!

  19. Love the impressions!

    I actually heard someone (Giada?) on the Food Network say that pecerino is better than parm. I was slightly shocked!

  22. Oooh did I miss the post about gail’s chocolates?! She’s a Madison favorite and you have remarkable self control! šŸ˜‰

    That dinner looks aamzing, even though I don’t normally go for pesto! The chocolate looks even better though… but you’ll never see me taking just a bite out of a chocolate. That kind of resistance is crazy town! šŸ˜‰

  27. Fun post tonight.

    If you washed the basil first, that may be why the color was more rich. Basil changes color – to a deeper green – after it’s been washed. And we usually choose romano over parmesan cheese because it’s much more reasonably priced; maybe that’s why Matt picked it too.

  29. Dinner looks amazing. I finally got some garlic gold and I love putting it in everything!

    Thank you for the “be prepared” reference –when my sister was little she would sing that song nonstop every day all day. Hilarious!

  46. I’m one of “those people” too šŸ˜€

    And I LOVED playing “you must pay the rent!” when I was a kid. But we always did it with a wadded up paper towel. Your way is environmentally kinder.

  53. They’re right, you are adorable! Haha, love the impressions.

    So nice to meet you in person this weekend! Many thanks for the tastes of your Open Sky Cocktail Party Manhattan (my first time!) and for your part in planning the Healthy Living Summit as a whole. I had a beyond amazing time šŸ™‚

  57. I usually make pesto with spinach. It seems I always have that on hand instead of basil and it’s a bit cheaper.

  58. Very fun pics, I loved the dinner, isn’t pesto season awesome? Although, I guess every season is pesto season really, but there is something about it fresh!

  63. That pesto pasta looks amazing. I love how many veggies were incorporated into it.

    Also, my Aunt is famous for taking little bites out of everything and putting them back. We used to joke about there being a mouse in the house whenever she left her nibbly evidence behind.

  69. I made pesto the other day! My basil went nuts in the garden this year. I could probably make a quart of it. Isn’t fresh pesto so much better than anything you get in a store?

  72. Your dinner looks delicious!!! I’ve never made my pesto with walnuts, must try!!! Thanks for sharing, your blog is wonderful! Looking forward to following you!!!

  82. I was so bummed that my farm share had tons of tomatoes this week and nooooo basil. And after my last pesto-ing, my own plant is not going so well. Your dinner looked wonderful! I shall put it on my to do make list for this week! (if there is still pesto in my freezer???)

  83. You must pay the rent! Did you learn that at summer camp? We used to do that with the napkins on the dining hall tables. One summer we changed it to be a little bit more feminist friendly (not needing a man to rescue you)….ahhh Girl Scout Camp.

  84. That dinner looks ah-mazing! I MUST try it out for my family, I’m sure they will love it šŸ™‚ Thank you for sharing! Have a safe trip and know that many are praying for you and your family for the next couple of days to be peaceful and a celebration of your Pop’s life <3

  85. Gail Ambrosius chocolates are the best! I live here in Madison WI, and get them often at the coffee shop next to my office šŸ™‚ Glad to see they made their way down south!

  89. Did you use walnuts the last time you made pesto? That would certainly make it taste rich vs. the “brightness” of pine nuts.

  91. And the hilarious kath is back! I miss you. Can we please hang out again when we aren’t super stressed about HLS stuff? Please?!?! Pretty, pretty please?!?!?!
