I love basil. I grow it in my garden every year. I have not tried Thai basil. When it is growing in my garden, I use it almost daily. During the first few weeks of June, when fresh, ripe tomatoes are available, I eat a lot of caprese salad.

I made a recipe I had cut out of the newspaper many many moons ago. You heat olive oil in a baking dish and with sliced garlic in a 400-degree oven for 10 minutes. Discard the garlic and put fish filets in the dish. Sprinkle with seasoned salt, turn fish over, sprinkle the second side, then top fish with a few tablespoons of mixed fresh herbs - I used parsley, lemon balm and oregano from the garden.
Then the recipe says to put sliced tomatoes on top of the fish, but I didn't have any, so I used a thinly sliced lemon. According to the recipe, add sliced green onions, mushrooms and green bell pepper to the dish. Again, using what I had, I used red and green bell peppers. Then I put the dish back in the oven for 20 minutes. Had warmed-up leftover orzo with seasonings and pine nuts and homemade bread on the side. Really good.

Chicken breasts (in the pressure cooker) with a Moroccan-inspired apricot glaze, rice cooked with a bit of apricot nectar, steamed frozen peas and side salad for Dad. Got a "great dish" rating from my Dad. I wasn't sure that he'd go for the glaze...I think he licked his plate--LOL.
Ooooohhhh! I need to visit you more often!
How do you get the chihuahua milk to make the cheese from?
Just eggs? No sides?
How original, NOT!
