Besto Pesto

Jun 27

Just a quick note to say that this is summer basil in California. Harvested from my own backyard. Few meals are as satisfying as fresh pesto (just basil, garlic, parmesan, salt, and olive oil), and these basil leaves are gloriously colossal. Here’s to summer, to fresh ingredients, to simple meals that come together quickly.

And here’s to summer reads! I hope you’ve found a few good ones for those beach days or backyard afternoons. So far, mine have been the works of forensic pathologist Richard Shepherd. I devoured Unnatural Causes (and gave it a rare 5 stars) and am currently in the middle of The Seven Ages of Death, which I’m enjoying just as much, if not more.

Happy summer reading and snacking!

She went on to earn an MBA, although recently left Corporate America in order to pursue her dream of becoming a gemologist. After a stint in New York City earning her diploma at the GIA, Tali now works in the gemology industry and lives in San Diego, California.
