SPECIAL ON BASIL. I have an abundant crop and would like everyone to make pesto. It freezes well. A full pound of select branches is $10 while it lasts. Abundaza! This standard basil is delicious in salads, pesto, soups and tea. Cut the soft stems and store in a glass with enough water to just cover the bottom. Keep it handy in the prep area of your kitchen (not in the sun) and it should stay fresher…who knows…it may even grow roots!

Green papaya the immature fruits of the papaya can be used grated for slaws as well as for candies and jams. It's a wonderful Asian themed salad ingredient. Refreshing and zesty flavor. Baked, boiled and sauteed it performs much like summer squash. It's mild flavor allows it to take on the seasonings of the dish. A great addition to vegetable soups. Another useful property of green papaya is that it is a potent meat tenderizer. Marinate the tough cut with the grated pulp for a couple hours (not too long as the effects can be dramatic) along with your herbs and spices.
