Supper/Dinner Time! What's on the menu ?

[Tom L.]

.........
This ^^^^ is right up my alley - what a great recipe, I never thought of using tofu as a creamy sauce and to combine it with kale and spinach is such a great idea as I have a hard time buying large amounts of basil other than buying the plants themselves at the end of summer when they are cheap..

I vaguely half-remember posting something about this before.... but have you tried growing basil indoors? Since you're already buying the plants, and they're probably blooming by late summer, you could leave them out where they'll get pollinated before you have to bring them in when the weather gets cooler. Then just plant the seeds, and you'll have new basil plants when the original plants have died (or been eaten). I was just googling about this, and it's supposedly not hard to do. Basil does need a lot of bright light though, so if you don't have a sunny (at least part of the day) window, you'd have to use artificial lighting- and it would probably be more trouble or expense than it's worth.

I don't think I've grown basil, but our landlord (back in the '60s) used to. There are different varieties of it- but his smelled AMAZING. At the time, I didn't know what it was.

I would love to grow my own basil @Tom L. - however we face north east which means that in the winter time we get no sun at all and in the summer we have it only from early morning until about 10am.... I do buy 2 or 3 plants and freeze the basil in ice cube trays, it just doesn't last the whole year, maybe I will buy more this year and make sure there is enough.

Last night we had breakfast for dinner, tofu scramble in whole grain tortilla wraps - green onion, jalapeno, bell pepper and crumbled sausage in with the tofu - they were delicious and 3 oatmeal cookies (store bought) for dessert.
