Stop and Smell the Basil
I love to cook. It is something that I think about all of time, and I am always trying new dishes. I think the food network is the number one channel that I watch... well, that and E!. My favorite style of cooking is Italian. (I kind of secretly want to be Giada de Laurentiis.) I am sure it has lots to do with my heritage and the fact that my grandmother is one heck of an Italian cook. Eugene had to learn fast when we got married, that yes, garlic does go with EVERYTHING!
So, a few weeks ago I made a pasta recipe that I found in Good Housekeeping. It called for fresh basil. My mother in law grows all kinds of fresh herbs at her house and told me growing basil is a cinch. So... after having to go down and clip it when I need it, I am now growing it. I planted my first sprig over the weekend. It smells heavenly.

Comeback Kid
In other news, I did have a great 4th of July week. I am sure that seems like forever ago, but since I didn't blog about... here goes!
Here is my one and only pic I took of George. I think I was so busy visiting and snuggling him that I didn't take many pics.
After Tupelo, I went on to Pickwick to meet up with Eugene's family. Eugene parents and both sisters have houses at Pickwick Pines. It is a great retreat to get away. I could live on the front porch of his parent's house! Mary Hellen (my mother in law) made a special request that we bring a spike watermelon. We did it last summer, and she loved it! It was quite the converstaion piece for a good 24 hours to see this sitting on the front porch!
Elizabeth (Eugene's sister) had her good friend from Knoxville in town. Her precious two kids helped to keep us entertained! Here is John and Eugene driving the boat.
I mean look at this precious child! This is John's sister Sally, and she is the tiniest cutest kid ever! She also had MJ on her Ipod and danced for us all weekend to Bad!
This is cutie patootie Maddie! She is our niece. (Eugene's oldest sister's little girl)
