Summer, Finally

Basil

Too tired to write a real post tonight. We were at South 47 Farm today, took Mini-Me for a hayride and picked amazing cucumbers and blackberries and summer squash, and then went to our neighborhood farmer's market in the afternoon and scored the stunning basil pictured above.  If you can see basil that beautiful and not make pesto, you are a stronger person than me. We had it on fresh fettucini also from the market and cubes of the summer squash, and summer is here.

The whole "distributes heat evenly" stuff is, of course, a crock, as you point out. The heat equation applies, even if the pot came from your grandma. :)
