Bike Winter Changing of the Chairs and Summer Pesto Party-- Sunday

The events calendar is chock-full of goodies, which means an event happening in two days likely won't show up in the main event view until Sunday morning, so I'm hogging a little extra facing:

If you have time Sunday afternoon please come help welcome our new Bike Winter co-chairs for the 2010-2011 Winter Cycling Season, Julie Hochstadter and Lowell Nelson, and say thanks to Martin Hazard and Lauren Sailor for their two years of service.

We're having a cozy party at Julie's, and I have an overstock of pesto reserves that need to go, so bring an appetite.

Event details here:

Regrets that this conflicts with any of the Pierogi excursions-- needed to pick a date that worked for some key players (i.e. the outgoing and incoming chairs)-- would love to see you if you get back in time.

I didn't make it to see Lee's band, but I did get a good portion of my basil and garlic harvested before it went to waste.

Sorry I wasn't able to make it. I'm glad that you had such a perfect day for the party, and that it's been such a great day for a ride. Cheers! Here's to Bike Winter 2010-11!

Thanks so much to Lauren and Martin for all their great work over the past couple of winters...you two rock!

Looking forward to working with Julie and Lowell to make Bike Winter 2011 snow-riffic!

Best,
Ethan on behalf of all of us at Active Trans

PS: we're already planning Winter Bike to Work Day (Thursday, Jan. 20, 2011) and a TBD February Winter Bike Swap!

So if this was your excess pesto, I am curious to know how many basil plants you had last year

Howard, the second batch of pesto was long gone after you left last night....bummer, I want some now.

Thanks :-)
Pictured is Friday night's production run-- Pesto hates cold (=never refrigerate it=) but it freezes incredibly well-- just keep it sealed while thawing. Still burning through last year's.
I've got 4 pots of basil at the moment-- three are just under knee-high (16" maybe?) and one just over "20"?).
Had to get it made as it's just on the brink of bolting (going to seed) and the taste of the leaves changes very rapidly when that happens.

All that from 5 (big) plants? That's awesome.

5 pots, maybe 20 plants.
Lowell and Julie will make a great team, and have a lot of ideas for the coming winter biking season.

Howard makes awesome Pesto.. But really, can you really fudge something like that up? To me, it's not so much the pesto, but what you put/serve it on..


I worship basil, but I think the magic ingredient is garlic-- hard to mess up a garlic-based dish.
A friend has a friend who does a "garlic party" every year with her little social circle-- have been twice.
Talk about heaven . . .

+1. Never thought of a garlic party but that sounds fun.
