Chef Michelle D said:Steak (on the grill) with peppers & onions, oven roasted potatoes, corn on the cob.
chefann said:I'm making the Sausage & Pepper Biscuit Frittata from the new SBRC. Except none of the grocery stores I've been to in the past 3 days (OK - both of them) have had basil. I'm not going past another one today (and won't make a special trip for one item), so they won't have the basil in them.
ChefBeckyD said:Ann - are you going past any Farmers Markets? Basil is in good supply at the farmers markets around here! Or you could stop by and get some from my back yard herb garden!
'Cause my basil is free?chefann said:There aren't many Farmer's Markets in my neck of the woods, although there is a farmstand about 1.5 miles from here (now that I think of it - although they never have signs up for herbs, just corn, tomatoes and pumpkins, usually). And if I'm not willing to make a special trip to the grocery store 5 miles from me, why would I drive clear across the state? Well, other than to come visit you.
chefann said:hmm... let's figure this out: 10 mile round trip to Meijer + $2 for basil = $3.25
6 hour round-trip to your house + free basil = lots more $$
