Too bad the seeds didn't make it critter, cuz I know you would have shared them with us!
Celene, be careful... I really don't think you want Sasquatch and company knowing where you live... LOL at la vida cocoa! Most definitely is in this quest for the elusive CB!
Hurry back mj - we need all the help we can get!
Chocolate Basil? Still seaching 2
Sasquatches find us by posting fraudulent CB auctions on Ebay, so they get our addresses when we earnestly bid and win the seeds.
Sasquatch seems like a word that'd have a funny plural.
"Sasquatch's"............sounds like an odd itch.................
;-)...........i love you guys................
Cando, where were you when we had the Chocolate Basil poetry slam !!! Vivat !
I have a question. I’m sure you’ve all heard by now about the DG County Fair that is being planned.

So, what are the Blue Ribbon events for Chocolate Basil fans going to be? Best CB recipe? Most beautiful CB plant? Sasquatch with the biggest feet? Inquiring minds want to know.
BTW: Heads up, VORTREKER. Cando arrived for her S. Alabama camping trip via a black helicopter. Need I say more? (Jim)
LOL sea--
Bigfoot's new girlfriend wanted a most beautiful blond Sasquatch contest but I pointed out to her that her diet down here on the CB farm has made her more of a chocolate color. (And a little fat)
She was not appreciative.
Pretty soon she'll be on a Sasquatchettes Gone Wild video, doing CB vodka shots off the pool boy's navel or something.
Eeeewwwwww! Now that's a visual I truly didn't need Celene - lol...
That blonde hairy body in a bikini? Why? hee hee hee
Bigfoot asked me to remind you that "beauty is in the eyes of the beholder"
Barf! Vort, you really should see about getting Bigfoot some glasses or something...
Hairy bigfooted blondes need love, too.
I've had to restrict Bigfoot's access to this site.
You folks are a bad influence.
Correction--Bigfoot just informed me if that is locakelly and she is on this thread then it must be loco locakelly-----:) Si?
Kinda like that name :)
Celine-Bigfoot's Gf said to tell you "thanks"
You "guys" can come back--Sassy and I finally took a bath down by the crick.
And brushed our tooth.
Ok...soon as I wash the gallons of sweat/garden grit off and I'M presentable.......
mjs-if you have "gallons of sweat" and a lot of "garden grit" on you then you have to be our, (me and Sassy's), dream girl.
.even if you on occasion try to steal our CB.
Loco loca --Bigfoot told me to inform you that he absolutely was "one smart fella:"-----but that was before he attended Harvard.
Maybe he was in Skull and Bones. It is those secret societies that possess the chocolate basil.
;)

So here is what Sassy served:
Tomato sandwich
Homemade basic white yeast bread
Homegrown tomato
Home grown chopped garlic
Home grown chopped onion
Homemade sharp Cheddar cheese
Slathered with homemade Bleu cheese Mayonnaise
Store Bought lettuce and maple cured bacon.
And here's what's hard to believe. :)
Finished it all with Chocolate basil cheese cake.
In all seriousness it was the best meal I have ever had with the single possible exception of the Duck at Four Seasons.
Tomato sandwich - I love tomato sandwiches
Homemade basic white yeast bread - Whole grain bread tho please
Homegrown tomato - **

Slathered with homemade Bleu cheese Mayonnaise - hold the Bleu cheese
Store Bought lettuce and maple cured bacon. - Baby spinach or romain lettuce - hold the bacon
I'll take the WHOLE Chocolate basil Cheesecake please ..............
;-)
$187 ----Please send cash --shipped overnight
Tips accepted
It really was a good sanwich.
Danged spell check--I meant "Samwitch" hehe
I finally picked up some Chocolate Mint....have it planted next to Purple Ruffles Basil.............Hoping to get " Dark Chocolate Basil".............ya know, dark chocolate is supposed to be better for you.......
Good grief!!!! All of my chocolate basil is melting---any advice?
fondue?
LOL--wish I had thought of that.
I was thinking more along the lines of smores. Maybe with an orange or cardamom marshmallow...
YUM
I'll get the Bonfire going.......
I can't even make marshmallows, my kitchen is still being remodeled. *sigh*
Ok--the "silly season" is here--it might refer to political elections but I choose to think it refers to chocolate basil searchers on Dave's. Have you folks given up?
Hi Vort! Not me. Ya know, When it comes to silliness ain't noone gonna beat out the politicians. Once a week i watch the national news and giggle at what was said the rest of the day.
On the semi serious side i nominate Big foot for president and you for CB czar, and Celene as czarina.
How did mjsponies crop of CB turn out. Did it work?
It is time to order all our seed and plant catalogs. I JUST KNOW WE'RE GONNA FIND IT THIS YEAR!!!!! I have faith!! Yes indeedy.
Do I dare rejuvenate this thread?
:)
Ya know I was just thinking of this....I think what made me think of it was I'm redoing a little Herb Garden, trying another approach to try to keep them from frying in the summer. Now that we are thawing out from winter...even Bigfoot was hiding all winter.
Hahaha...glad to see this resurface. It inspired me to inoculate the soil around the tender baby basil seeds I just planted with some cocoa. Just hopin' they get the hint.
