POPSrecipe: Zucchini "noodles" with pesto Made this last night. Fairly tasty, although my tastebuds wanted a bit more punch. Not sure what – olives wouldn't be quite right. Definitely want to try the ponzu-sesame oil-chili sauce version.

POPS10 recipes for deviled eggs "Deviled". The word looks weird. ("Did you remove the vile?" "Yes, I de-viled it.") But "devilled" does too. ("Will you deville tomorrow? No, I deville-ed today.") :lol:

POPSHow to make pesto like an Italian grandmother: Recipe A treat for pesto lovers--and who isn't? The cook notes that "chopping all the ingredients by hand and not blending them is key because this prevents the ingredients from becoming a completely homogenized emulsion or paste. When you dress a pasta with a pesto that has been hand chopped the miniscule flecks of basil will separate from the olive oil in places, you get definition between ingredients, and bright flavors pop in a way they don't when they've been blended into one". I've never used a mezzaluna, but reading this account of pesto-making has inspired me to get one!
