Basil and Garlic Cream
This fragrant and herb-y Basil and Garlic Cream makes an excellent sauce for pasta, cooked al dente, just drained and folded into it, for a lunch that literally tastes like Spring. It can also be the base of salads or gratins, depending on the season's changing weather!
Ingredients (makes about 1/3 cup):
a small garlic clove
a dozen large leaves Garden Basil
a pinch of salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1/2 tablespoon olive oil
1/3 cup crème fraîche or sour cream
Peel and halve garlic clove. Add to a mortar, and grind into a pulp with a pestle.
Tear Basil leaves into the mortar, and thoroughly grind them with the garlic into a paste. Season with salt and black pepper.
Gradually stir in olive oil, until mixture emulsifies. Then, stir in crème fraîche until well-blended.
Fold Basil and Garlic Cream into al dente pasta, or use as a base for a salad dressing or in gratins, loaves or quiches...

hey. you there. listen to me. look at me. do not cook steak on a hot plate without a hood fan, okay? promise? that little goblin in your mind craving to bite and rip and tear is lying to you. yes that barbecue sauce glaze and spice blend will simmer really nicely at first, but you will fill the entire basement suite with smoke and you will nearly die because of it. understood?
making the side veggies is okay, adding a little bit of potato salad with a dollop of sour cream won't do any harm, but do NOT! cook! the steak! without! a hood fan! no matter how tempting it sounds.
mistakes were made today. very yummy and juicy mistakes! but mistakes, nonetheless. consider this a learning experience.

our family dog loves vegetables and I’ll give them to him if I’m cutting some for myself and I always feel sad cause Blaise just watches me feed him but the thing is. if I give Blaise one he will delicately take it and then set it down in front of himself and refuse to eat it. he will only eat vegetables if it has some sort of dip. I would be wasting a vegetable giving it to him

wait matthew confirmed he has sensory issues? or is this just something fans have pieced together?
i think the only confirmed thing is that he doesn't like sauce so i've extrapolated he probably doesn't like sticky things on his hands.
but yeah, just given his whole DEAL, i think most people kinda just assume he's a little neurotic about textures and stuff
