The Weekend is Over

It was easier than last weekend. I am already getting booked up for the evenings for the week though.
Our phone suddenly has issues. Although I was able to get the phone to work directly off the router, I have to expect a service call tomorrow afternoon.
I know, there are others with worse issues all along.
I trimmed some bushes late this afternoon and we took the yard waste to the area where it will get burned, weather permitting.
I harvested some basil both here and at the garden. I have some purple basil vinegar steeping right now. I also brought home lemon grass and rosemary.
I hope to make some infused oils, vinegars, and maybe even some lemon grass infused honey. Maybe I will make and freeze some pesto.
Meanwhile tomorrow is another work day. It is Sunday evening now and time to think about my work week.

Cooking for a group situation people tend to cook as bland as possible.

@Hatley Perhaps on one of your shopping trips you can get a small container. What other spices and herbs do you like?

Basil infused vinegar makes a wonderful poppy seed vinaigrette.

If you can do pretty and edible both it is a real win. I have an unusual basil, that is green but it has a red plume like cluster of blooms. My herb class lady says it is called Siam basil. I have a Thai basil that is not nearly so showy. Of course you want to consider whether you have sun or shade, etc.

I should be even busier, but I will take what I can manage right now.

That sounds really nice. I keep having household emergencies that mess up my life. A three day weekend might help me catch up.

I was pretty busy this past weekend too, just not traveling on the highway a lot.
I've been working away on my sewing all week, mostly cutting fabrics and making my wrist hurt though.

I spent part of the afternoon and early evening getting my pies baked for tomorrow's thanksgiving feast.
