Kim has had two dreams in which she has been told that our blogs are too long. So, to remedy this for now, here is a short blog about basil.
The picture above shows how we buy basil at the market and grocery stores. It comes rooted in soil and so I have potted it allowing me to have more on hand. (One can also buy it in just leaves without the roots but then I find it always goes bad too fast.) At home in Seattle, all summer, I have basil growing and take great delight in going outside and snipping what I need.
I have found that basil here is a tiny bit more of a delicate flower than Seattle basil. This basil reacts to the hotter weather and easily gets chewed upon by some type of bug. So, I put it outside for a few hours each day and bring it in at night.

Kim's dreaming! I love the long blogs. Dream less, blog more! I'm seeing the previous couple of blogs as the foundation for a cross-cultural soap opera - The Foreign and the Innocent, or maybe The Innocent America. Nikki
