Any letter that leads with basil is always worth it. (Just sayin’.)

Insalata caprese… yum! The tomatoes have a lot of catching up to do. 😁

Thought provoking!

I thought basil was similar to marigolds in that the inherent chemistry of the plant was a deterrent to bugs.

Looking again at your image, the bites are mostly all uniform in size and shape. I think the bug has a mini ice cream scoop…

The muses are pondering the idea of basil flavored ice cream. 🤔

Any implication of the insect would be purely circumstantial…

For me, that might take some getting used to... Recently I think you had a picture of Mrs. MEYER'S dish soap (?) in the BFN du jour. Some years back, while visiting a project designer's home, when I used her powder room she had a pump bottle of Mrs. MEYER'S hand soap. Basil scent with olive oil and aloe vera. The stuff of ecstatic mysticism! And handwashing.

So the Muses might not be too far off in their ponderings. Keep us posted!

P.S. To this day I have the same hand soap by my bathroom lav. Beth? Not a fan. Perhaps a pragmatic mystic...

I did! Lemon Verbena

I’ll try another scent next time… maybe basil/aloe vera if I can find it!

Like cappuccino potato chips, the gulf between basil and ice cream might be too much for me. 😂
