so, like, i know that pesto is so totally 1997, but i'm really freaking tired from jet lag, and i have this massive basil explosion thing happening on my deck right now, and it's ridiculously warm, and my brain has stopped working. in other words, it was all i could think of. but at the very least i spiced it up a bit by adding some spinach to the equation and topping it all off with chili flakes, lemon zest, and these lovely kalamata olives that i picked up today. to the side is tomato and fresh mozzarella.


it's just rather unfortunate that i can't boil water on the bbq.
yet.
