Actually, it's George that does that (and that's how I'm gonna do it
next time I freeze pesto) I froze a bunch in 8-ounce Tupperware
containers. I think there's *still* some in the freezer. I take it out
of the freezer to soften a bit, scoop out what I need while it's still
kind of frozen, and refreeze the rest.

I like the freezing in flat slabs idea better.

I have some basil seeds; I wonder if there's still time to get a fall crop?
