The sea salt and EVOO aren't local from here but the guy who makes the mozzarella, the tomoatoes and the basil are in the 'hood.<br /><br />Although we have local tomatoes, can't wait for the Jersey 'maters to make their way down here: Nothing like juicy Jersey tomatoes grown in real dirt. (We can enhance our sand but real dirt makes a big difference)<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5516413081166622995-5010835468597937844?l=creativegreengourmet.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Creative Green Gourmetnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5516413081166622995.post-26463894785706777802009-06-22T19:59:00.000-07:002009-06-22T20:20:06.658-07:00Welcome to Creative Green Gourmet!<br /><br />Basil grows like a weed on my SoFla patio in my 1'X2' plastic planter boxes. I put a whole bunch in the food processor with a handful of toasted pine nuts, some grey salt, garlic, parmigiano and drizzle in a nice EVOO. A couple of dollups mixed in with some freshly made egg fettucine makes the tummy very happy. Pass the pepper grinder please!<br /><br />Any other 'green' ideas out there?<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5516413081166622995-2646389478570677780?l=creativegreengourmet.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Creative Green Gourmetnoreply@blogger.com0
