The CookingBites Recipe Challenge: Basil

[Morning Glory]

Pasting in a link isn't a problem, it's when I click the link you provided for the numbered post. It doesn't put me on #197, but further up the page a bit. Had you changed that link name to something like, "...see this post here...," I'd click it, then check my URL to get the post number, in order to find out exactly what post you meant.

Not quite understanding this - we are off topic so can you PM me about it?

I would love to see some boozy basil libations (or non-alcoholic would be fine) to go along with the food recipes, seems like a nice pairing, yes? Completely not necessary of course, but I would like it

I have a LOT of basil in my garden, y'all. I am getting some stellar ideas on how to use it!!!!

Great! Yeah, I totally mean for basil to be an accent, a complementary flavor...there wouldn't be any other way to do it without it being disgusting, I think.

I'll likely make a bourbon basil smash (unless someone beats me to it).

I thought I was going a bit crazy, because I distinctly remembered entering a margherita pizza recipe back in January and emphasising I used the basil leaves twice to qualify. But how could this be given the current challenge? Has been driving me spare till just now, where a forum search reveals the January challenge was for "leafy greens".

 

[JAS_OH1]

Uh, yeah I guess that an herb plant with leaves could be a leafy green? Never thought of it like that.
