basil harvest and sake

we have an abundance of fresh basil.  this was our first harvest of 2009.

I took advantage of our fresh basil crop to make a classic margherita pizza, named for Queen Margherita of Savoy.

We had another fund raiser for the Eanes school district here this past weekend.  Jason and Holly co-hosted. 

our guests enjoyed sushi, sake and more karaoke.

I found her practicing her guitar outside by the koi pond.  marvin seemed to enjoy the entertainment.

she has always complained that her guitar was too heavy, the strap hurts her shoulder.  her current axe is not exactly a precision made instrument, more of a learner's model.  we stopped by a guitar store and she found a line of guitars designed by/for women, daisy rocks.  they feature light weight bodies, narrower necks and a shorter scale.  she found two models she really liked.  Kat also found the full size keyboard piano she has had her eye on is suddenly marked WAY down, recession benefit?  #1 son is likely to start piano lessons soon.
