They are rubbed and carressed and sniffed and branches broken off to accompany guests on the road. But except for me, I don't know anyone else on the island that cooks with it. Why? It's just not done.Laurie Constantinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04662040688336742830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34584175.post-68306172467884672882007-11-30T11:05:00.000+11:002007-11-30T11:05:00.000+11:00Great for a party I'll be having.

Just one bite, and your drink stays in your hand.<BR/><BR/>kalyn, your beautiful dishes made from your homegrown vegetables and herbs has had me green-eyed for the long, cold and miserable winter we have endured here, so I know how you're feeling. I just adore summer.<BR/><BR/>Laurie, I have about 3 different varieties of basil growing, one of them being Greek basil, and I'm sure you're familiar with that, having a residence on a Greek Island. Now I'm even more green-eyed. Good luck with your book.Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16588727173352820914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34584175.post-16623218490735058052007-11-19T16:24:00.000+11:002007-11-19T16:24:00.000+11:00Very attractive finger food, Pam.
