I first tried BuddhaPesto, made in small batches in Woodstock, NY, at Merrie’s New Moon party. I was immediately hooked — it is the absolute perfect balance of fruity olive oil, Romano cheese, pine nuts, and basil. Not too finely pureed, either, which I like.

We stopped by the Pleasantville Farmer’s Market last Saturday, and I had to buy a container for J. to try. It’s an indulgence at $9 for 8 oz., but it is the pesto I aspire to make myself at home. It’s great over pasta or on French bread. And as you can see from the photo above, we have unfortunately already finished the small container.

Moroccan Chicken Tajine: I recently had a chicken tajine dish at Fig & Olive in Scarsdale, and wanted to recreate something similar at home. This is an Ina Garten recipe, and she never fails me.

"Somebody That I Used to Know" by Gotye. I find the xylophone haunting, and the lyrics are poignant. Love this track.
