Walnut pesto. Make it the exact same way you’d make your typical pesto but instead of pinenuts use walnuts. Far less spendy. I find this begs for more salt than I’m typically inclined to add when making pesto.
Try it with #sprouted #Walnuts / had em for the first time in #Virgina last week

#entertaining this #spring ? Use #potted #herbs for #party #decoration / plant in #garden or #windowbox afterwards / or simply leave in the decorative pots… Choose #containers that are just larger than the pots the #plants come in so you can just drop in.
#Decorating for a #club #group #school #church #event ? Consider loaning the herbs for the party and then #planting at #home or #donating to a school garden.
Laura made these up last weekend for a client entertaining heavily the next couple of weeks.. We use the herbs outside and in warmer parts of the house to accent #flower #arrangements and tall #vases filled with spring #branches

#viburnum #tintus up against a #degournay screen #wedding #shower .. See how the blooms are pointed down? I should have known that were going to crash and burn by the morning.. Turns out the entire crop was harvest incorrectly #upstate #ny - like #lilacs viburnum is a #flower #bush - immediately after #picking you need to put the stems in almost hot water to drive air trapped in their stems out.. Otherwise you wake up to what looks like a melted #arrangement #entertaining #gardening (Taken with instagram)
