the first fruits of my garden

Or herbs, as the case may be. I grabbed some basil today…

…to make my favorite pesto sauce.

(If that looks like a lot, it’s because you can’t just eat some of this pesto sauce. You eat it all. Well, I froze half for later to remove it from temptation.)

Since I got my garden going late, I missed out on rhubarb. Luckily, my whole family in NY has it coming out their ears and just sent a bunch down with my brother to distribute.

I had enough to make this rhubarb buckle with ginger crumb tonight…

…and I froze enough to make the lemon buttermilk rhubarb bundt cake from the same cookbook later.
