I have two basil plants I have not yet managed to kill, yay, and while they will probably be fine in the Vegas winter (mild, and they are indoors), I will try the ice cube technique for sure.

Thanks for including us in your list of interesting links. Glad to hear you had a relaxing few days off. I took my laptop everywhere and ended up working a bunch, but at my leisure!

I took some time off over Thanksgiving as well and it was worth every minute away from the computer.

Could not resist weighing in with another solution for too much basil: make pesto and freeze it. My husband grows a ton of basil every summer, then uses the Silver Palate cookbook recipe for pesto and freezes it in leftover 8 oz. margarine containers. I’ve also heard of people freezing it in freezer-proof baggies or in ice cube trays. We probably have anywhere from 8 to 12 containers in our freezer by late October every year, enough to last through winter.
