Storing Fresh Basil
Betty, I just love basil, but can’t use all of the big bunch I got at the farmers’ market. How should I store fresh basil?
--Amanda
Hi Amanda,
Oh boy, do I love fresh basil as well—and this time of year there is plenty of it! There are a number of ways you can store fresh basil leaves: in the fridge, in the freezer and in olive oil. Head on over to my All About Basil article for details.
And why don't you make Classic Pesto with Linguine tonight?

Question
How do you make old-timey rolled dumplings? My mother-in-law made the best; she had a special bowl she mixed them up in (never really measuring), she knew where in the bowl to add the flour, etc., then she rolled them out thin on a brown grocery bag and let dry for a while, then dropped them in the hot broth. They were delicious!!!!!!
