This is going to be an herb extravaganza weekend because we have been getting so much rain that the herbs are growing out of their planters. If I don’t give them all haircuts, I’m going to need to build an addition onto the back porch. Right now there are parsley, cilantro, dill, and basil.
I have a weekend project of putting in a large shade bed around the hemlock tree. I bought the plants weeks ago and one is dead already. Tony is scheduled to make a lasagna. I won’t provide the recipe because he uses the recipe on the lasagne box but doubles it because we have quite a massive lasagna pan, although it’s miniscule compared to his mother’s. She emigrated here from Calabria, Italy, when she was 19 and she has a lot of Italian specialties of course, but doesn’t do anything small – or without fresh bread and pasta.
I was happy to be able to provide ¼ cup of chopped fresh parsley to stir into the ricotta cheese.
