Glut of basil

[BobTheSubgenius]

5. I never thought I'd read the words "glut" and "basil" in the same sentence.

A lot of people say "everything in moderation," but my rejoinder is "if little's good, more is better."
I absolutely LOVE basil. My favourites? Thai food (I know. Probably not the "correct" kind of basil, but even so), a chiffonade on salad, and, of course, pesto.

I don't know if this appeals to you, of course, but what I've done in the past is to stuff as much as I can in the cups of an ice cube tray, fill them with water, then freeze. Not the same as fresh, of course, but, to paraphrase Father Flanagan - "There are no bad basils."
