Your pictures and recipes look absolutely delicious. I am always looking for good recipes to use vegetables in interesting ways, and I've seen a few really good ones in just the first page of your blog. So, thank you (and I'm glad you're a Blog of Note, otherwise I wouldn't have found you).
I love basil and I find it to be sensitive to cold, but otherwise pretty easy to grow. I just planted some a few weeks ago and I expect it to survive through the end of this month, maybe longer depending on night-time temps.
