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: 13th May 2024. Market News – Stock markets traded mixed; Flat USD ahead of US CPI.   Economic Indicators & Central Banks:   Japanese government bond yields surged to multi years highs after the BOJ’s unexpected move to decrease the quantity of bonds it typically purchases during routine operations, signaling a more hawkish stance to the markets. BOJ Kato stated that it’s natural that monetary policy will revert to positive interest rates, while BOJ Governor Ueda signalled the potential for multiple rate hikes ahead. Chinese authorities have kicked off plans to sell $140bn of long-dated bonds on Friday, in order to support investment in key areas and reinforce economic momentum in the second quarter amid the country’s lengthy property crisis. US government plans to raise tariffs to a raft of Chinese exports were weighing on sentiment. BlackRock stated: The Yen’s weakness is turning foreign investors away from Japanese stocks. Financial Markets Performance:   The USDIndex is steady at 105 lows, at 105.58 ahead of US CPI on Wednesday, while USDJPY is holding at 155.80, after retesting May’s high at 155.96. EURUSD steady above 1.0750 as the euro zone prepares for an inflation reading of its own on Friday. USOIL declined amid demand concerns and as traders looked ahead to an OPEC+ meeting on supply policy. On the supply front, the Iraqi Oil Minister initially claimed that production cuts were adequate and opposed further reductions but later deferred decisions to OPEC. Next OPEC+ meeting: June 1. Currently USOIL is at $77.78. Gold corrected to $2349 per ounce, from $2380 highs. Market Trends:   Asian stocks fluctuate between gains and losses, as sentiment was impacted by disappointing Chinese economic data alongside optimism amid reports indicating that the country plans to initiate the sale of ultra-long bonds.

Bonds are finding buyers and the 10-year Treasury yield is down -1.0 bp, while Bund and Gilt yields have corrected -1.3 bp and -2.3 bp in early trade. Always trade with strict risk management.
