Oct 13 02: harvest
There’s no denying it anymore: summer is over. Today we brought in the air conditioners. We scrubbed off four months’ worth of soot and pigeon grease (don’t laugh. they are nasty, dirty creatures) and dried them gently and put them away to sleep until June. Then we harvested most of the basil crop we’d raised on the fire escape and turned it into pesto, which we served on home-made pasta and served to friends. You know fall has arrived when family dinners start back up on Sundays.
Mmmmmm. Pesto. As usual, we used the Moosewood Cookbook recipe and doubled the garlic. Fab.
So anyway: it’s time to get out the flannel shirts. I never did manage to even out my suntan this summer, but there’s nothing to do for it now. I guess I’ll curl up with a good book and listen to the rain on the roof.
