This was our lunch yesterday.
Simple, easy and oh so yummo.
I made the bread, not the best effort as I sort of forgot till it was too late the lack of gluten in corn flour. This meant that it was slightly lacking in the bread department and more in the chewy department. Nice but not what I wanted. Maybe next time.
I made the pesto as well (of course :)). I had been on the eye out for good looking basil at the fruit shop for quite a while now and it was always wilted and sad looking. On Sunday Mum and I went to a local farmers market where I picked up the freshest bunch of basil I have ever seen. The smell was gorgeous.
The grape tomatoes came from the markets for something like $2 for a large bag which was a total bargain.
To day Mum, Matthew and I are off to the Brisbane markets at Rocklea to explore and to pick up some gorgeous bargains in the way of fruit and veg. I know last time we picked up 5kg of cherries for $20 at a time when they were selling for $20/kg in the shops. 🙂
Tonight I am off to see Madeleine Peyroux. Ohh it will be a delight. I was so delighted when I saw the ad in the paper back in October advertising the tour. I bought my ticket the day they went on sale I think 🙂
I saw your photo – you look about 20 but you sound like you are 40!
i don’t like tomatoes, but i think the pesto and bread would be yummy!
Hi Helen, thanks for sharing this simple yet scrumptious lunch you had. I’ll keep in mind when I got pesto sauce leftovers, cheers ! 🙂
