Chive and Dill Pesto

May 29, 2010

Did you know that shopping on a Saturday is NUTS?  Ok, that’s probably expected, but shopping on Saturdays en Suisse is much crazier than any Saturday morning I remember in the States.  I suspect this has much to do with the fact that most everything is closed on Sunday, and so everyone is rushing around [...]
