I quite enjoyed the new Star Trek movie.

They’re both way down.

These are yum. Not your traditional scone, but somewhere between scone and muffin perhaps. Nothing wrong with that.

We’ve made them about four or five times since these photos were taken.

This was ages ago, but I wanted to mention it, because we had such a great day riding our bikes in from Cliff & Sam’s house. We wish we lived in the city. Unfortunately it doesn’t fit the plan just yet.

I think this was also the day we were finally convinced that there are good places for eating and drinking to discover in Portland.

Very happy all me stories are happenin’ all at once. For this little while at least.

and that photographer I don’t particularly care for.

Anyway,

We’ve taken to making our Pesto in the blender and using brown sugar. We rarely add nuts, so I guess I shouldn’t be calling it Pesto. We do throw some pitted Kalamata olives in sometimes; awesome on pizza’s and pasta.

Also thought I’d mention that growing our own basil saved us heaps during summer. But, now that the winter chill has put an end to that, we’ve found Trader Joe’s has the best value for money on packets of fresh Basil. I really like their Spanish olive oil too.
