Thanks for all the pizza love! It was really tasty too, although I'm not sure I'd do asparagus again... All the other dishes look yummy!

After all this talk of Italian food, I had the most AMAZING pesto burger downtown last night. Now I'm thinking about trying something with pesto at home because omg pesto, but here's how knowledgeable I am about it...

My Sister: Oh yeah, I cook with pesto all the time.
Me: Really?? How do you buy it?
My Brother (the smartass): With money.

You know, pesto is super easy to make too - and no matter how many store-bought ones I try, homemade is just best! :)

I freakin' love a good basil pesto... I always say there's not enough pesto in my life. Seriously. I do say that.

He's a sensible person. I would have said something similar. :)

I bet it is! Do you need a food processor though? I may just be the most ill-equipped cook in the west. ;) (You're talking to someone who reads "crushed almonds" in a recipe and has to go get a hammer from a toolbox...)

Or a blender? But yeah... you kinda do... but people were making pesto before food processors and blenders... so a lotta elbow grease and chopping? (but yeah, that sounds kinda terrible).

Haha, I'll try it one of these days! A little hard work never hurt anyone... but I think I'll start with baby steps. :P

I thought I posted... I must have closed the tab while cooking. Anyway- I looked for Italian recipes and found out Biscotti is Italian... they're cookin' right now. I like 'em but don't make them often (because I love 'em). :D

A Food Processor sounds like a dream. My hand mixer and blender don't' quite handle the bigger recipes. :lol:

Thanks so much, Gryffindork! :plumbob2:

*chew*crunch*muchin'* I wish I could share... cause I really shouldn't eat so many. I can't hide them from myself like I could hide cookies from my kids.

Rflong, your biscotti looks amazing! Love the plumbbob too. :)

Sam - if you want to try playing around with pesto at home but you don't want to make your own pesto, try picking up a jar of PC's Splendido pesto from nofrills or Loblaws. It's usually really cheap - like $2.99 for a jar at nofrills - it lasts forever, and it's delicious. Pesto pizza, pasta, and sandwiches are awesome!

I'm really glad this round is going until the end of the month! I love seafood, but my boyfriend isn't a huge fan - he likes tilapia and fish and chips, both of which aren't super heavy on fishy/seafood flavour - so I haven't been able to make a fish meal for myself in the past few days. I might be able to make something this week, though.

EDIT: Also, in regards to Siem's post which I totally missed reading, is there a way to win the same medal twice? Maybe a second medal for participating in 20 or 25 Boolprop Chefs would be a good idea.

Okay, so for every 10 entries beyond the first 10, you can get a medal from the Pick Your Own category!
