clint's not a jerk, he's a bitch

cim: clint eastwood's kind of hilariously a jerk about his new movie.
wax: how so?
cim: oh, something about, like... blah blah this might be a view of this fight that some americans won't like or blah blah this is just blah blah artistic blah blah my personal take blah blah anti-war blah blah and if people don't like that "they can go see borat 2 or whatever".
wax: he's not a jerk, he's a bitch!

lilah: hahahahaha, she's right!

apparently arashi's concert in korea was exciting for more than one reason: "i didn't play with captain but was working hard during rehearsals!" XD what, for once? oh, nino.

recipe: pasta & pesto

i was hunting through the closet for the dog toenail clippers, and besides breaking one of wax's favourite flowerpots, i found the church cookbook from 2004. i look at many of these recipes that i grew up with and i can't believe how much work my mother puts into cooking things! for example, my pesto and pasta takes like one minute to make if you don't count the time the pasta is cooking unattended. my mother's famous never-any-leftovers-at-any-potluck-or-party pesto and pasta, not so much.

this recipe is a total classic, and i'm pretty sure it's my mom's most-requested recipe, both from family and houseguests who want her to make it and from other chefs who want it written out. (i grew up in an extremely potucky culture.)

( pesto )

( penne with broccoli and pesto (colloquially 'pasta & pesto') )

a note: this recipe is in US measures. one cup is 2,4 decilitres metric. it is not, apparently, the same as an australian cup (which caused me quite a few headaches a couple of summers ago when i first met the bewitching isilya).
