A few years ago I had a basil plant. Unfortunately I was away a lot so didn't water it and it died. I now have 2 basil plants, 1 parsley plant, 1 lavender plant, 1 mint plant and 1 rosemary plant. Despite some bad patches of near death, due to the same problem with the first basil plant, only the mint has died.

 

Just realised I've been a much more successful gardener since I used more capital to acquire more assets and diversified my portfolio.

If a person has the skills needed to keep something alive and doing well, that may translate into other areas of their life. It's about paying attention, noticing what needs to be done, and attending to things in a timely fashion. It might not be a bad thing to look at an investment account like a plant or a garden that needs to be tended to in order for it to grow. There is a point of view that goes along with keeping something alive and thriving. You wouldn't want your plants or your garden to die, (or worse, your pet) so what's it going to take to make sure they are doing well and healthy? There is the aspect of being "in tune" and paying attention to possible subtle changes before it's too late.

I grow about 5 Basil plants per season. I make an excellent Pesto, if I do say so myself.

What’s your recipe?

 

We like it with

way too many pinenuts,

too much olive oil,

an average amount of parmesan, and

less than an average amount of fresh picked basil buds, flowers, and tiny leaves (instead of regular sized basil leaves), and a

short squeeze of lemon…

yum ...decadence!

I'm getting hungary!

 

My recipe is about the same as yours... but, I do add a few tablespoons of Butter ( depending on how portions I am making ).

 

 

I don't have the time at the moment, but by this time tomorrow I will post the recipe for a Corsican Dish made with Basil, Tomatoes, and Brie Cheese. The mixture is set on the window ( or outside ) to be cooked by the Sun, then served on steaming hot Pasta (I prefer linguine ).

MFX, Haven't tried butter. Hm?... have always just gone with light olive oil. Don't like anything interfering with the pinenut and basil flavors :) . (I do use the hard stuff, evo, in the red ital. dishes, like the recipe you're talking about, etc.)

 

iws, yep the flowers, buds, and tiny leaves bring the flavor without the bite that mature leaves have...

Ok, this is a dish that originated on the Island of Corsica.

It works best on a hot, sunny day.

 

3 cups of Basil. just the leaves, shredded or sliced lenthwise.

4 Large Tomatoes, chopped.

1 pound Brie Cheese, rind removed.

1 cup Olive Oil ( I prefer Sicilian unfiltered Extra Virgin ).

6 Cloves Garlic. Finely minced.

1 LB Lingine, the fresher the better.

 

 

In a large bowl add the oil and the Garlic. Remember, only the pata is going to be cooked in the conventional sense, so you want to get that Garlic marinating as soon as possible.

 

Shred your Basil or slice lenthwise. As little stem as possible. Add this to the bowl.

Chop the Tomatoes, a little larger than cube size. Add this to the bowl.

 

Next, remove the rind from the cheese and pull it off in cube size chunks. Add this to the bowl.

Salt and pepper to taste. Give the contents a mixing and place in direct sunlight for 3 hours or so. Cover the bowl with a kitchen or dish towel.

Prepare the pasta just prior to serving. Add the steaming pasta to the mixture in the bowl, toss well and serve.

 

Bon Appetit !

    • Date: 22nd November 2024.   BTC flirts with $100K, Stocks higher, Eurozone PMI signals recession risk.   Asia & European Sessions:   Geopolitical risks are back in the spotlight on fears of escalation in the Ukraine-Russia after Russia reportedly used a new ICBM to retaliate against Ukraine’s use of US and UK made missiles to attack inside Russia. The markets continue to assess the election results as President-elect Trump fills in his cabinet choices, with the key Treasury Secretary spot still open. The Fed’s rate path continues to be debated with a -25 bp December cut seen as 50-50. Earnings season is coming to an end after mixed reports, though AI remains a major driver. Profit taking and rebalancing into year-end are adding to gyrations too. Wall Street rallied, led by the Dow’s 1.06% broadbased pop. The S&P500 advanced 0.53% and the NASDAQ inched up 0.03%. Asian stocks rose after  Nvidia’s rally. Nikkei added 1% to 38,415.32 after the Tokyo inflation data slowed to 2.3% in October from 2.5% in the prior month, reaching its lowest level since January. The rally was also supported by chip-related stocks tracked Nvidia. Overnight-indexed swaps indicate that it’s certain the Reserve Bank of New Zealand will cut its policy rate by 50 basis points on Nov. 27, with a 22% chance of a 75 basis points reduction. European stocks futures climbed even though German Q3 GDP growth revised down to 0.1% q/q from the 0.2% q/q reported initially. Cryptocurrency market has gained approximately $1 trillion since Trump’s victory in the Nov. 5 election. Recent announcement for the SEC boosted cryptos. Chair Gary Gensler will step down on January 20, the day Trump is set to be inaugurated. Gensler has pushed for more protections for crypto investors. MicroStrategy Inc.’s plans to accelerate purchases of the token, and the debut of options on US Bitcoin ETFs also support this rally. Trump’s transition team has begun discussions on the possibility of creating a new White House position focused on digital asset policy.     Financial Markets Performance: The US Dollar recovered overnight and closed at 107.00. Bitcoin currently at 99,300,  flirting with a run toward the 100,000 level. The EURUSD drifts below 1.05, the GBPUSD dips to June’s bottom at 1.2570, while USDJPY rebounded to 154.94. The AUDNZD spiked to 2-year highs amid speculation the RBNZ will cut the official cash rate by more than 50 bps next week. Oil surged 2.12% to $70.46. Gold spiked to 2,697 after escalation alerts between Russia and Ukraine. Heightened geopolitical tensions drove investors toward safe-haven assets. Gold has surged by 30% this year. Haven demand balanced out the pressure from a strong USD following mixed US labor data. Silver rose 0.9% to 31.38, while palladium increased by 0.9% to 1,040.85 per ounce. Platinum remained unchanged. Always trade with strict risk management.
