> How about a recipe for a pesto substitute so that I can use my basil?
I got some low fat, possibly fat free pesto recipes off of Michelle's Fat
Free Web Site recipe archive. http://www.fatfree.com

My basil is about a foot tall now, and I have been using it since it was
about six inches tall! I can't seem to use it fast enough! I used my
dill for a couple of months, but now it is tall and scraggly and gone to
flower - I suppose I should have been pinching it down even when I wasn't
using it right away.
