My sister and I went to check out the local green market on Sunday in Jackson Heights and brought these Basil plants! We were looking carefully, and almost decided what to choose, even though the leaves were a little smaller than we wanted. We wanted fully grown basil so that we could eat right away!! Last time we bought some sesame leaves to grow, but they are still growing...:( Long way to go until we can pick them and eat them. So this time, we wanted big ones! Amie asked a guy at the stall if he got any bigger one, and yay! he pulled out real good ones for us and we happily took them. They smelled great.We were a little worried that Horang might get so excited about her new salad dish (like she did when we brought sesame leaves to grow.), but she was quite indifferent this time. Maybe fragrance was too strong for her.
So, today's dinner was basil pasta, my sister's recipe, and it was really really good!
Green market on Sundays. Another reason to love this neighborhood..and I'm so loving this neighborhood! :-D

엄머. 이런 황송한 반응이라니.후훗. 어디 있긴. 언제나 그렇듯 내 인생 도대체 어디로 가는 것인가 황망해 하며 지내고 있지.(슬프다;;) 그나저나 나두 뭔가 기르고 싶어서 계속 모종 파는 데를 기웃거리고 있는데, 나는 뭔가 '작물'을 원하므로, 녀석들이 너무 커질 것이 좀 두려워서 아직도 망설이고만 있어;; 그나저나 풀 먹는 호랑이 너무 웃겨.ㅠ.ㅠ;;;
ReplyDeleteㅋ얘 내가 거듭 말하지만 너의 길은 캘리포니아에서 기술을 배우는 것...^^;; 그런데 '작물'들도 그리 커지지는 않는듯. 깻잎은 마구 자란다고 들었는데 어찌나 애기 깻잎들인지 먹기가 미안할 정도. ㅠㅠ 어서어서 키우렴~ 집안에 녹색이 있음 좋단다.ㅋ 그건 그렇고 호랑이는 내가 관상용으로 얻어온 화분풀도 계속 뜯어먹어서 고민중. ㅠㅠ
