This bushy little plant is planted next to my tomatoes, to help with the bugs and is growing like crazy! Anthony pinches off the tops about every other day and it just comes back with great gusto. So if you are ever in St. Louis and head to the Ritz for breakfast and find a little fried basil on top of your delicious quiche, more than likely you are eating basil that I grew!Saturday, July 17, 2010
Famous Basil
Once a week Anthony has to come up with a breakfast special at the Ritz, so a week or so ago he decided to make mini quiche's and put fried Basil on top. WELL....the basil that they had at the Ritz already was to big, it was sweet basil, so Anthony decided he would use mine! Enter African Basil!!!
