I can buy good parmesan for about $5/lb. I buy a liter of Goya extra virgin
for about $6. Basil I grow myself, for salads and tomato sauce. Only the pine
nuts are somewhat costly, a 2oz bottle for about $3... but I'd much rather bake
them into cookies, to me pesto is like I said, a total waste of good
ingredients.

So it's good you have that nice bronze skined tush, 'cause I guess you're gonna
hafta hock that grass skirt. <g>
