“I beg your pardon. I never promised you an herb garden,” teased my husband after I fussed and complained about my partitioned-off little corner of the backyard getting brutally mowed over “on accident.” In his defense, I guess my scrappy, scorched attempt at basil, parsley and oregano did resemble weeds more than a crop of something actually edible. As the classic song goes, “along with the sunshine, there’s gotta be a little rain sometime” and my part of the country has been in a drought seemingly forever.

This is one of our favorite recipies. Enjoy making it.
